Tim Hawkins is Getting Older and Hilariously Fears He Doesn't Measure Up

Tim Hawkins is getting older, and hilariously, he fears that he doesn’t measure up. The popular comedian understands how much his ancestors accomplished, but thinks he might be lacking in some ways. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear Tim discuss getting older and how his ancestors put him to shame.

Getting older is an inevitability. Time constantly marches forward, not stopping for anyone or anything. With every passing second, minute and hour, you are a little bit older. Feel better now? Well, think about this: after reading this sentence, you are now older than when you started it.

Despite whatever beauty products may state, there is no way to reverse the aging process, at least not yet. Oh, I’m sure someone is probably working furiously on finding a solution, but I’m also certain that it will fail. So, since we cannot do anything about getting older, why not do the only thing we can about it, and find the humor in aging? What else are you going to do about it?

In a clip posted on YouTube, the always funny and insightful Tim Hawkins mentioned that, while he understands he is, like all of us, advancing in age. However, as a way to almost add insult to injury, Tim is also fully aware of what his family members before him accomplished. Hilariously, he fears that he may not meet the standard that they set.

“I compare myself to my ancestors, and I’m just not measuring up,” he said. “My grandpa was a stud. He was a rancher. He was in the Navy. My dad was a world-class athlete. He has a master’s degree. I have an app on my phone to remind me to drink water.”

Tim’s point is true. While technology allows us to do more than we previously imagined, it has made many of us reliant on it for even the most mundane, everyday activities.
