Twenty two

February 22nd, 2006 | Comments (7) | Trackbacks (0) |


22 feels old.

I am now beyond most of the big birthday landmarks: 13 (becoming a teenager), 14 (driver’s permit in Iowa), 16 (driver’s licence), 18 (”legal” age, smoking and other “adult”-related matters), 20 (leaving the teens and entering twentysomethings), 21 (alcohol). I guess there is still 25 (renting a car).

I’m not really saying that I believe myself to be “old”, rather, 22 is the oldest I have felt. That sounds obvious, but look at it this way: I felt older when I turned 18 than I did when I turned 19. I think we all know what I mean.

I am going to go do something adult now. Like reflect upon the immaturity of teenagers.

Actually its legal to rent a car in Iowa at 21 now. So….you’re really just as cool as me. Sorry. Happy Birthday though. I hope it turns out to be a lot of fun. I’ll probably be there making fart noises and buying you drinks.

You aren’t yet old enough to be President so you could look forward to that milestone.

You’re not old enough for AARP or senior citizen discounts either. Heck, you have a lot of milestones to look forward to.

And when you turn 50, you get your prostate checked for the first time! Nothing like a gloved finger up your ass!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAKE! On this old thing I could go on and on about the milestones you are going to reach. You are right tho on the maturity thing and teenagers. Hope you have a great golden birthday. Are you going to do something fun.? Have a designated driver who is “mature”. Mom K.

A few things:
1.) I like your new picture heading thing on your website.
2.) Happy Birthday.
3.) Megan is still ridiculous.

Hope you’re having a great day! I expect a full report of the big 2-2.
