looking forward (and backwards)....

Well, I meant to post this earlier on today…..but now that it’s almost tomorrow…..

In one week from today (almost one week from yesterday if I don’t publish this in 38 minutes)…

I’ll turn 30.

Yep. The big 3-0.

I was really apprehensive about it 6 months ago….

But now that it's just around the corner,

I’m getting to be more okay with it.

A new decade will be a good thing for me.

And to be honest with you, I really didn't know that I would survive my 20’s.

So, I feel like next Saturday I should get a t-shirt that says,

“you did it! You’re still alive—miracle of all miracles”

That is, if I live until next Saturday.

I guess after the devastating Saints loss tonight, anything is liable to happen.

I was going to do a countdown to my birthday—maybe doing a post a day about things I learned in my 20’s. I was actually going to re-live each birthday but I can only find pictures of my 20^th, 25^th, and 29^th. 

So, if you’re reading this and you have pictures of me on any of my birthdays, send them my wayJ Unless of course, they are incriminating…..you can just delete those.

I think one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned in the past decade is that if you aren’t sure of who you are, a lot of shit is going to happen, and if you’re lucky and you survive, you’ll find out who you really are.
