| Since others have posted about age getting them down recently, I thought I should post the thoughts I've had as each year of my twenties has slipped by me. 20. Holy crap. I've been around for two decades. I survived both the eighties and the nineties (having been born in 1980, making it easy to keep track of my age... yes, I forget). I DONT HAVE MUCH MONEY SAVED OR LIFE GOALS ACCOMPLISHED!!! It's a good thing I'm so young! 21. Wow! I can get legally drunk! No wait... my neurotic self-control tendencies won't ALLOW me to get drunk, LEGALLY OR OTHERWISE! GAH! I'M STILL YOUNG! 22. I'm... not 21? Man... when did that happen? Where did all those good times I was supposed to have at 21 go? I mean... wasn't I supposed to have a 'Spring Fling' or something? Am I really 22? Is 21 over? I want my money back. 23. I'm... wait... what's my age again? Did I just reference a Blink182 song? Well at least I have my life better together than THEY did in that STUPID song! Hold on... HOW MUCH MONEY did they rake in from that 'stupid song'? Right... I was supposed to be saving and investing so I'd be rich soon, wasn't I? Good thing I'm still 21! Wait a minute... 23? Really? 24. Good God. I'm two-dozen. That's two boxes of donuts... and a LOT of years. Hey... I haven't had donuts in a long time... maybe I should...GAH! I HAVE A BELLY!!! SINCE WHEN DO I NEED TO EXERCISE!?!?? #@$@#*@#&!!! Well at least I'm not yet... 25. TWENTY-FIVE!? I'M TWENTY-FIVE!? That's a whole damned QUARTER-CENTURY!!! I'm a QUARTER-CENTARIAN!? Well at least that sounds better than twenty-five... I mean, my life is one-quarter over! What? Yes, of course I'm planning to live to 100! That way I'll be able to retire and live for years off of all of the MONEY I HAVEN'T STARTED SAVING YET! GAH!! 26. Can I please go back to 21? What have I been doing with my life? I've been alive for as many years as there are letters in the damned alphabet! THAT'S A LOT OF YEARS! Maybe I'll count 'zed' as well as 'z' and pretend I'm canadian... then I'd have 1 more year until I'm as old as the alphabet is long, when I'll be... 27. You've GOT to be KIDDING ME. I'M ALMOST THIRTY!!! OH THE INHUMANITY! Thirty is the age of OLD PEOPLE! People I know have had KIDS by now that are almost older than me! Well... that's not biologically possible, unless you accept the possibility of time travel... Ok ok, calm down, I'm only 27. TWENTY-SEVEN!?!?? That's only 9 x 3. Hey... it's also 3x3x3! That's pretty cool! Isn't that an exponent or something? Can't remember... haven't had to do math since I learned it in... 3rd grade? Hmmm... that was...NINETEEN YEARS AGO!? You've got to be kidding me... soon I'll be getting married! Wait... I AM MARRIED!? WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN!? Well at least I've started sav... oh crap. I HAVEN'T STARTED AMASSING WEALTH!? WHAT KIND OF AMERICAN AM I? What? Everyone is poor and lives off of credit so it doesn't matter? Well that's good... 28. How old am I again? Let's see... 2008 minus 1980 is... damn. What ever happened to the math skills I learned in 3rd grade? I'LL BE 28 THIS YEAR!? WHY!? WHY DO TEENAGE GIRLS GET CUTER EVERY YEAR I GET OLDER?! DIRTY OLD MAN!!! Noooooo!!! All of the above thoughts have indeed been given form in my mind at one point or another over the years. Don't back away... I'm not weirder, just more honest than you! | ||||||
