Turning 21
Posted on Sunday, October 14 2007 @ 08:56:00 Eastern

Tomorrow is my 21st birthday, and I officially feel old now.

So damn old....ugh. No longer am I a child, but I am now nothing but a man, a young, semi-healthy, game playing man who is almost done with College and now almost ready for the real world out there.

Scary isen't it? I feel so weird right now. I am relishing, but at the same time, afraid, of being legal for gambling, alcohol, my own passport, and all that fun stuff that comes with the territory. Priorities will be shifting soon, which means I will go from a game-freak to a family man one day, if that day occurs. It is a bit scary to think that I also have roughly 80 some odd years left....

To anyone who has a birthday coming up or had one when your 21, I salute you. You can add another vetren on that list.

    Let me tell you, it only goes down hill from here! Soon you'll feel the time just flying by and you'll stop and wonder where the time went. I'm not much older but you can seriously feel it.
