And I used to think I was indestructible, until I started getting into my forties and fifties. Charlie Sheen isn't a young man anymore, and those previous twenty years are not qualitatively comparable to the next set of twenty years.

Twenty five years ago I did road and sound work for a ten piece band. I used to throw amplifiers over my shoulders and carry them in and out of the clubs. At 54, there is no way I could do that now.

The problem with Charlie Sheen is, he still thinks he's indestructible. His mind may want to party like he's 25 or 30, but he's about to find out that his body doesn't.

I hear ya. I’m in my forties and started feeling it bad a few years ago. I don’t run anymore. NOt for anything. Hurts the hips too much. I can’t drink in excess either, I’ll suffer for a week. Actually I can barely even drink in moderation. Gotta watch the spicy foods and greasy foods and anything too rich. Muscles will lock up on me now and then for seemingly no reason at all. Tendonitis almost constantly. Can’t go and go indefinitely on not enough sleep anymore either. I’d be in really bad shape by now if I hadn’t shifted to a more cautious lifestyle.

But on a positive note, I don’t get sick much. I used to get a cold, or the flu, or a sinus infection repeatedly. Now I only get sick about once every 18months or less. And it’s really minor when I do.

Some people don’t get those ailments until much later in life though. I suspect charlie sheen is one of them or he would’ve tapered off years ago.
