    I smoke and sleep very poorly. I get carded sometimes for energy drinks, which I’ve been legally allowed to buy for 20+ years.

    I don’t exactly mind, but it’s annoying when people refuse to believe that I’m an adult. It’ll catch up eventually, I’m sure. My dad looked 40 from 17 until 60, and 50 until he was 70, but now he looks mostly his age.

      Jackie Coogan was a kid actor who had a decades long career.

      When he was about 75 he was honored with a Life Time Achievement Award.

      “You people aren’t applauding because you respect me. You’re just happy that I finally look my age.”
