nobody said it was easy

I'm 29.
I will be 30 in July. I have different opinions about this.
It is just a number, but a weird number.
It feels weird to say "I'm going to be 30.", like some sort of new skin should come over me.
Even now, things have a different angle to them.
This doesn't really matter to me, becasue it's not a race,
but I know, let me count..
14 people between November 07 and August 08 having babies.
It just seems like a lot.
I have even started using skin creams and things like that,
I never did that in my 20's.
I have 2 long term goals (or as I like to say "by 40")
one is to become and RPN and the other is to buy a house.
I think that these are easily attainable goals.
I think that I am going to go to the lake on the 10th,
and stay there for a couple of days.
30 just sounds so much more grown up,
like you can't blame anything on your 20's anymore.
Relationships are messed up at this age,
they use up a lot of your heart energy.

I think 30 is the new 20, so really you don't have to start worrying until you turn 40, because apparently 40 is now the new 30.
I think 70 is still 70, though. That part hasn't changed.

Do you think of me as being an old fart? I didn't think so, and I'm 41. Perhaps its my immaturaty :(
