Crap, I'm 40 today
Not fishing for birthday well wishes, just thought I'd share how weird it feels to be turning 40.
I always thought I would feel ...different. y'know ....like all grown up & stuff.
I still feel like the same dork that I've always been.
But, I have noticed some changes:
20 year old girls dont look at me the same way.
People seem to call me 'sir' alot more often.
Hangovers seem to take 2-3 days to recover from vs. the the 'ol standard 12-24 hrs.
I catch myself telling stories that happened 20 years ago & thinking it was 5-10 years ago.
I dont always want to go out every weekend to rage & party it up like I used to.
I put on 20 lbs & cant seem to lose it.
I don't listen to the stereo cranked up loud as hell.
I catch myself prefacing my stories to my nieces & nephews with "y'know things were alot different when I was a kid..."
I dont recover from injury nearly as fast.
I have a harder time relating to rap & hip hop music.
I feel an overwhelming urge to get a new tattoo, pierce something & buy a corvette.
