Today is my birthday, I'm 35. And despite my best efforts to rewind it back to age 24 a few years ago, the fact of the matter is...I'm old. WTF happened? Here is the Top 10 reasons I know I'm old:
#10. When I walk into a Hollister or Abercrombie, all the employees wonder who's Dad just walked in.
#9 I remember buying Motley Crue and Poison's first albums (cassette tapes.) Now they are considered classic rock.
#8. I'm in the worst shape of my life, by far. And my liver....well it's just pissed at me.
#7. My favorite shows are no longer on TV, even in syndication.
#6. My Ipod playlist titled "New Stuff" is a collection of late 90's and early 00's songs.
#5. I'm older than every Redskins player except for 3. (the red snapper, Todd Collins, and Phillip Daniels, who shares by B-day!) I'm older than a couple of their coaches!
#4. I say things like "when I was growing up," or "it seems like yesterday," or "that was 10 years ago?"
#3. When my parents and uncles were 35, I thought they looked ancient. Now I think they look pretty damn good.
#2. In order to see my favorite bands in concert, they have to be on a reunion tour.
#1. I still have Suzanne Somers in my spank bank.
Cheers and Hail

When I was 28 years old I sat down and wrote a list of 30 things I was going to do before I turned the age of 30. I didn't do a very good job of crossing off my list. In fact, I'm now 34, and I still have quite a few things left to do. This list is kind of personal, but I thought by sharing it, some of you may have some ideas on how I can get these things accomplished. I broke down the list into separate categories. There is a twist to this story, please read thru to the bottom.
