Thirty-One
Current mood: contemplative
Category: Life

Today is the last day I am 31. Infact, I will be 32 in exactly 42 minutes. Isn't it strange that we so desperately wanted to be older, old enough to stay up and watch the movie. Old enough to stay out later. Old enough to get into that ride at Wonderland. Old enough to drive. Old enough to drink... legally. Old enough be taken seriously. Old enough to be respected. Then all of a sudden we are past all these restrictions and we simply want to stop time. Punch the clock.

Sometimes I even think that I would give it all back to relinquish myself of any of the debt, problems, hassles, responsibilities. Cares. Issues. Knowledge. Sometimes, ignorance can truly be bliss. Who said, "I would take the awe of understanding over the wow of ignorance"?... or something like that anyway.

So, tomorrow I am 32. I have spent most of this year telling people I was 32. Why?
I think I will spend the first half of this year telling people I am 31. To make up for lost time.
That's all I do.... is lose it. Time is the one great leveler. It waits for no man and evens all scores.

31 it is then.
