I Turned 30 And It Was OK.

Yesterday, I turned 30 years old.

Where the hell did the time go?

This is not to say that my twenties passed me by. I lived them to the best of my ability. I had lots of fun, got an education, sowed some wild oats and learned many a life lesson.

I kinda figure that's what your twenties are all about. They're basically a time to figure yourself out.

So now I'm thirty. I'm only a year away from the age where all you young-uns are supposed to distrust me. (The "never trust anyone over thirty" doctrine.)

It really doesn't feel much different than 29. Yes, my body doesn't recover from sports-related injuries as quickly as it did when I was in college, but on the flip side, my car insurance is much cheaper these days.

So now, it's time to march boldly into my 4th decade on this planet. I'm quite happy about this. What's getting a year older compared to the alternative?

I'm pleased with where I've been and where I'm going. No complaints.

Besides, if I get to have as happy a birthday as I did this year, I'm really looking forward to my thirties and beyond. (Thank you sweetie!)

Of course, I think my relatives are more freaked out about me turning thirty.

It means they're just that much older than I am.

Later.
