Glad to see the board is lively and controversial as ever.. I've been busy with work and parties for a while.
I have a question and this goes out to my fellow posters who will or already have hit the magic 3-0 mark.
Let me preface here. A couple of days ago I was visiting an old friend of mine. He still lives in the town I grew up in. I haven't been back to this town in a long while.
Going through the town seeing people dredged up lots of old memories. Which in turn led to of deep thinking.
The usual contemplation of where I am at in my life type BS. Then the reality started hitting me hard in the face. I finally started realizing how old I am. That 30 is getting close.
Has anyone on here gone through a late 20's crisis? I noticing I am getting in my parents patterns. I consider myself to be up to date on what's going with music. Most of the music I have is from the hip, independant scenes in rock and hip-hop.
But lately half the stuff I've been listening to is 80's. You know it's bad when you start humming along to "Run To You" by Bryan Adams when it comes on the radio.
I consider myself to be wiser more likely extremely cynical as the 30s progress. But at the same time I am scared of my damn mind. As a reaction I think I've upped my partying more, started doing things I never thought was possible from me. Hang gliding, streaking, deep sea diving.
I just want reassurance I am not going out of my damn mind. That it is only a phase. That I wont be wearing a leather jacket with a harley blasting "Macho, Macho Man" out of it this soon.
lol...don't know you but go and read Archers topic on Saturn....don't carry a razor blade with you as I really don't want you slitting your wrists having read it!
Yeah, I hear you. Damn saturn. Ugh. I dont know right now, I am really wanting to change direction with my career. I am in a corporate job I abosulutely loathe. But am trapped due to the econonmy. If I do get another job it will be in a different field.
I do know I am definately dont want kids at this point. i worked in daycare in highschool. That is definately the BEST form of birth control you can ever have. Love kids, but I like on a 2 hours day rather 24 hour basis.
BTW the whole myth about men hitting their sexual peak between 18 and 21? Total reaking BS. As I am getting close to 30, my sex drive keeps getting worse and worse. But I thnink its because I jhave a lot of Sag in my chart. Fire = 24/7 Horniness
I concur wholeheartedly...I think the scientists who got paid to 'research' this were all bitter women who couldn't get laid...
No shizza. The guys who do decline are either a)on antidepressants or most likely b)their beer gut is so big they wouldnt even know where to look.
I kind of get limited time when I post. But I am lunch. Just to let the people I chat with outside of here know I dont have access to things like myspace at work. They blocked it😢
Hey Eden, Thanks BTW. The weirdest thing about almost being 30 is the single status. Most of the people I know from high school are now married or married with kids.
I've never been married and blessedly, do not have little damiens roaming the earth. I always get the vibe from them I am a freak.
It is not that I am commitment phobic. It's just I'm phobic to 15 minutes of bless and a lifetime of torture. I'd rather make sure I am with the right person. Then beating my head against the wall saying "What the hell was I thinking?!" after finding out my alimony payments leave me nothing left but stuck in A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!
What is wrong with dating for 4 whole years then talk about mutual suffering? For some reason people think once you hit 30 you are no longer relevant and wait around to die.
You know what? I say to hell with that! I much rather have a life of adventure then being subjected to repeated viewings of the latest Hannah Montana movie.
And this pretty much explains why I am spending qtime than usual time with "Sandy" and "Mandy"
