Oh quit your bitching bitches! Too much? I think so but sometimes you just have to say it anyway. I'm referring to some newly 30 year olds lamenting how old they suddenly find themselves. I really wanted to tell them to just get a grip.. on reality that is.

I admit that for me turning 30 was no big deal. I was bothered by turning 20 because I wasn't a teenager anymore. I was kind of an adult and who the hell needs that! But I get it. You may not be old old but anyone under the age of 20 will think you are and you can no longer be trusted. I forgot, you won't get the reference if you're only 30 because it was my generation that coined the phrase "don't trust anyone over 30!" Now we're all well over that landmark age. Okay it wasn't our brightest moment. Might have been the drugs!

All I'm saying to the latest class of 30 year olds is wear sunscreen and don't get freaked out by your birthday or you'll be a basket case by the time you get to fifty! Have fun, have kids, get married, have fun, have a career and then have some more fun. Oh and stop with that fake I'm so old crap when you really don't believe it. There is a vast difference between being old and being "older than". Yeah you're older than 20 and you're older than you used to be but you aren't old. Lets see a few white hairs and some wrinkles around your eyes and then we'll talk. You won't be old yet either but hopefully life will have made you interesting!
