This month I will celebrate my 30th complete year of life outside the womb. Whoever says that 30 blows doesn't know what the fuck they're talking about. For the first time, I am feeling complete balance in all facets of my life. My career, love life, finances, and pot supply are all healthy and in balance with one another.
It's only as I quickly approach 30 on November 19th that I feel I am in one of the best physical conditions of my life. With exception to the magic marker-sized cyst in my lower spine that makes my foot feel insanely cold at times, everything is just peachy. Besides, how can I NOT be happy? My first scheduled prostate exam isn't for another TEN FULL YEARS! (I guess that gives me something to look forward to after all...)
My fiancee and I are planning our July wedding, and I am proud of the fact that we have paid for most of it ourselves. I say most because we still owe plenty of money to various 'contractors' that will be there. Our parents aren't the richest folks in the world, and we've done what many couples have been doing lately by shouldering the expenses on our own. By the way, why the fuck do I have to feed the DJ, his helper, the videographer AND the photographer?! That's just fucking insane. Let the motherfuckers bring a bag lunch.

On the hobbies end, it seems that all of my singing in the shower, in the car, and during cunnilingus is finally paying off, even if it IS only a hundred bucks a night. I was recently invited to front an established rock 'n roll bar band. Yeah yeah, I know, big fuckin' shit. But it is, to me. I've never gone on a stage before, and I sure as Hell never went up there for 4 hours. Even better, when I get offstage, I get paid for it? How the fuck can you go wrong???!!!
You can't.
Now that I've written this, I'm sure Murphy's ears will prick up and that little bastard will have to throw a monkey wrench into the gears. But until then, I'm just gonna' sit back with a smile on my face, thinking how sweet it is to be 30.
Here's a crappy cell phone pic from Friday night at my first gig. I'm getting butterflies just thinking about it!! Ooooooh! I feel like Eric Rice at a Disney concert in the mall!

+1 for being exactly 4 days older than me... 4 days, no months, no years. w00t for 30.
+1 for getting your shit together. I'd imagine that would engender a real feeling of accomplishment.

30 is the new 20.
Enjoy.
I agree but I didn't
have lines on my face at
20 like I do at 30. That
is the only thing I don't
like about aging. The rest
is amazing.

Ten years until you get the gloved and lubéd finger,
Oh how you'll pray to God these years will linger.

Actually, I'm hoping those moments with said gloved and lubéd finger will be the ones to linger...
what?

Yeah, I thought 30 would suck donkey dick, but as it gets closer it's not bad at all. I still choose to sit at the kids table though come Thanksgiving.

That looks like Mike 'local celebrity' Gorbovski from Birmingham.
Any way, well done you.
