OT: Thirty
 

Today's my 30th birthday. I'm freakin' thirty.

Blegh.

U R 2 0ld 4 W3B PLZ SIGN OFF & M4K3 R00M 4 YOUNG P33PS

Welcome to the club, newbie.

:)

It's not so bad, Cam. People start to respect you now. Which is good, considering your new job.

Wow. I'm freakin' older than CamEdwards.

Blegh.

Dola.

Happy Birthday! :)

My condolences on your loss. ;)

Happy birthday anyway. :)

My thoughts exactly.

Oh and Happy Birthday Cam.

Happy Birthday, Cam!

Finally out of the diapers, huh?

Congratz!

:D

Happy Birthday, I join the ranks here in a few months myself.

Happy birthday, whippersnapper.

all I really want for my birthday is for you to pose in those patriotic panties of yours.

that's cool youngblood. i didn't know they made announcers that young

Ditto here. In two weeks, I'll be 33. I'm still trying to get used to the fact that the large majority of the people I come across in TV, radio, sports, and music are, if not within a few years of my age, actually younger than me. It's not necessarily depressing, it's just...wierd.

Welcome to the cool club.

I'm 30 on the 29th... but I could care less. I started feeling "old" when I started having little people calling me "Dad."

Ditto.

I feel your pain Cam, I'll be 30 in just 5 months :(

Heh. Funny you should say that. I think that's the one thing that mitigates the whole "leaving my twenties thing". My two oldest started calling me "Dad" from the time my wife and I got married seven years ago. At 23 I was the dad to a 10 year old. That really makes you feel old. :)

Yeah, similar situation for me... I got married when I was 27, and had a 13 year old calling me "Dad." The kid is already going to be a sophomore in high school, and I'm just about to hit 30. Wierd.

I did not even have to wait for the actual event. Just knowing it was coming was enough for me.

Here's how I found out:

I used to drive around the neighborhood, and when I viewed a teenage girl, I would gawk at them thinking, "I bet she looks good naked." Now, my thought process is "hey, a potential babysitter."

I don't see why these thought processes need to be mutually exclusive.

Then again, I don't have any daughters (yet - the Mrs. has a bun in the oven, but it's too early to tell).

7 years and 7 months until I hit 30.

Young 'un.

Happy Birthday.

WARNING: Threadjack!


Hold on to tradition! Resist the urge! Wait until the baby is born to find out the sex, it's so much more fun and interesting (and it drives mothers/mothers-in-law nuts trying to find clothes for the baby in unisex colors; since "everyone" knows nowadays, all the newborn stuff is in pink and blue).

Sadly, this is me:

I used to drive around the neighborhood, and when I viewed a teenage girl, I would gawk at them thinking, "I bet she looks good naked." Now, my thought process is "hey, that girl needs to put more clothes on. I can't believe her parents let her out of the house like that.

Having daughters really changes your viewpoint and mine will not become teenagers for another 5 years. *sigh*

dola. Happy B-Day Cam. 30 is not so bad. Now 40 on the other hand.....

so, you going to get an old Buick and suspenders now ? Im 21- I feel old now... :D

Uhh... I dunno. I sort of like being able to plan ahead. It makes everything easier, from picking a name to buying clothes, etc.

Besides, I have a 10 month old right now. If the new one is a boy, I don't need any new clothes. If it's a girl, I need clothes, a shotgun, and a good shovel.

A mistake many make is not scotchguarding the carpet in the trunk.

Noted. Actually, I was watching "Goodfellas" the other night, and I noticed that they had no carpet at all in the trunk, and were able to just hose it out when necessary. This might be the way to go...

My first thought as well.

Happy Birthday Cam.

Wow, 4 days prior to my birthday.

Happy B-Day Cam. Live it up!

Haven't you heard? Thirty is the new twenty. And twenty is the new ten.

One huge benefit is you don't have to worry about being open-minded or changing your opinion any more.

I had no idea that Cam wasn't already 30. I'm so old.

*crosses SpiltP off the Christmas card list*

I'll be turning 28 in September. Thank God I'm not as old as Cam is right now. ;)

Don't suppose your high school teacher's been in the news recently?

Gold.

I feel you pain, just turned 30 myself 2 weeks ago. I keep telling myself wife is in her 20s still and that makes me happy.

heh. Actually, my wife is almost 40, which makes me feel even better. :)

Don't forget a good trowel and load of bricks for a tower to go along with that moat.

SI

Or else just starting to get back into them:D

My wife is 4 years younger.. I wish she was older.. she is starting to call me old man ;)

No, you really don't.

Ok, except for her getting to call me old man you are right: I really don't ;)

That's alright, just tell her to call you "Daddy," and to be sure she maintains eye contact.

I wish I was still 30...

at least I have more hair than young'uns like the birthday boy.
:)

I remember the first time I felt old. It was when I was looking at a Playboy, and I was older than the centerfold. Only by 3 years, but it was still a life changing event.

not if we count back hair. :)

actually, it turned out to be a pretty nice birthday. My wife bought me a Goonies "One Eyed Willie" t-shirt, I got the new They Might Be Giants cd, the Killers cd, and Cheap Trick's Greatest Hits.

a Goonies t-shirt and a Cheap Trick cd. Yep... I'm old.
