I lay in bed last night and thought about my day, what I would do for my comic this weekend, why Kat asked me to visit her at midnight, how Dredmon was upset about placing third in his Superbowl ad competition due to his commercial being too expensive to make, do I think I will ever get that firewall up at work, then about another six other projects about work I need to do, then forcing myself to not think about work I started thinking about the fact that now I am 31.
And before you get the wrong idea about Kat asking me to visit her last night, Kat has a boyfriend so I am assuming her, her boyfriend, and Los were partying with friends from Minturn. I was tired and have a long day today (Wednesday) so didn't reply back as sleep was more important than drinking.
When I started this job at RTP two-and-a-half years ago I was in my late twenties (29). Now I am 31. I am not even at that first year where you can say, "Well I just used to be in my 20's so it is not too bad."
I am now solidly in my early thirties.
There is just no getting around that. I don't feel very old. Yeah I have a mortgage, a new car, and a good-paying job that involves a lot of responsibility but I don't FEEL old. I have a roommate, I have people who ask me to visit at midnight, I have never had a serious relationship (or at least no one I ever considered getting married to), and spend the majority of my entertainment funds on games.
Even though I am getting older, I don't feel grown up. But I can't call myself a kid anymore. I am way past that "I'm just a kid" phase of my life. Now I am just a man.
