Reading some back dated entries, I see that the last time I updated this was in December!
So, seven months has passed since I, uh, passed those fun care-free kiddie days of my 20's and plummeted into the seventh layer of hell, that is to be known as your 30s.
So what has changed? Well.....
1. Started refering to college students as "kids."
2. I realize my children won't remember the 20th century.
3. I now stop and listen when the TV news runs a story on Viagara. **not that I have that problem..mind you. Seriously.** I don't.
4. I remember wanting to party like it's 1999.
5. There used to be lots of things I didn't do because I had no money; now there are lots of things I don't do because I have no time and money
6. I watch some Mexican mow my lawn and remember the days when I used to get paid to mow them. *That happened twice*
7. I spend a lot of time on the Internet reading things written by people younger than me.
8. I can't go to a bar anymore, because I can't even hear myself think.
9. I remember when people said "space age" the way they now say "internet age."
What have I learned?
1. Get health insurance!!!!
2. My back just dosen't bend that way anymore.
3. I remember when falling..........USED TO BE FUNNY! Shit, I used to throw myself across my kitchen floor for a chuckle or two.
4. What is this on my arm? Oh fuck. Seriously, what it this? Michele.... what is this? Oh. A mole.
5. That people actually meant it when they said "Enjoy this time in your life, cause it goes by fast".
6. That I now curse at myself for hours after I tell some kid to "Enjoy this time in your life, cause it goes by fast".
7. Overnight hours just don't hold the same amount of fun or mystery anymore. Especially when you're waking up numerous times to pee because .. I just can't hold it in like I used to.
8. My ass just gets fatter and fatter.
9. I'll soon be the Maury show, once they figure out how to tear down a wall so they can move me out of the house.
But, some things don't change.
Today, without explaining and talking about some real personal issues, Michele and I went to the ER today. While we were there waiting for the doctor to come in......
I had to play with everything.
In a flash, I'm Twelve years old again. Pushing buttons, turning on lights,
I actually said..
"Where is the machine that goes..... PING"?
- For those who don't understand that reference, you need a good swift foot in the balls.
Ok. I guess I'm done.
I'll update again in January!
