what to call myself?

I was told rubber loses air naturally with time, they are gatorskin tires on a 1996 cannondale R300 aluminum road bike. I rode a 200 miler on this bike and the pressure kept dropping from 120 lbs to 80 lbs pressure between fill-ups. Why? Is it pressure put on the front tire? I don't ride it but every few weeks, and the pressure drops. I can understand that. But why during a ride? Is this bike fit for a 115 mountain climb ride? There may be some shit in the tire inner wall poking at the tube, though I doubt it. I've installed three tubes, presta, and they kept blowing at the valve. I hear it is better to ride on a full pressure tire because it is better for it. W/o telling me to get a tune-up, what advice may you have?
the thing felt like a sledge hammer the other day and I was really worried/upset about not having a good ride.
