The End

Yep...today marks the last day of my third decade on Earth. Weird.

Last year I kept telling everyone that it wouldn't bother me. That I'm a kid at heart and that's all that matters. But as the day has drawn closer and closer, I realized I was lying to everyone...including myself.

I'm weirded out beyond belief. 30 shouldn't mean much to me. I've done all the things that I'm "supposed" to do by now as a man. I bought a ring and got married, I bought a home, I bought a car, I'm done with grad school and have started my career. Seriously, I should be happy with myself, but I'm not.

I guess it's because I'm not bothered by what I have or haven't done...I'm just bothered about getting older. See, I pride myself on being a big kid. That's all I am. Yeah, I am responsible when need be, but otherwise I act like I'm 12. But 30 makes me think that I have to be an adult more often. And in the next couple years, I'll be a dad - god willing - and then that's it. I'll have to be a permanent adult, responsible not only for my wife, but for a kid too! Yikes!

I know, this probably seems stupid, but I can't help but flip out a little. And I have to apologize to my 2 readers cause normally I'm funny when I flip out. Sorry.

Anyway, I guess I'll just have to go home and play video games all night. That will help me feel childish!!!!

Ha ha ha! 30 is nada, because at least it's an excuse for a party. 31 is the kicker, because then you're IN YOUR 30s.

I made you feel tons and tons better, huh?

No, not feeling that much better. Oh well. And 30, 31, 32...what's the difference. The end is nigh regardless.
