My Life: I am the Driver and Passanger. Never the Passerby.

No matter how hard I run, it's coming!

It's around the corner. It lurks in the shadows like the boogeyman. It's that music you hear when Jaws or Jason Voorhees is about to come out for an attack. What threat to my safety do I fear when I go to sleep at night....the dreaded passage of time. Well more specifically the day that I turn 30 years old, which by my calculation is about four months away.

You never realize how much you lived and how much life you have until you hit 30. In everyone eyes, hitting that magic combination of numbers means a lot of things. You look at the younger generation with hate and pity. I know there has to people who watch reality shows out there and wonder, "Is this the best of society we have?" I mean I consider myself a Jersey kid, but damn if the "Jersey Shore" makes me want to reconsider that at times.

But the main thing about turning 30 that I've noticed, is that I want to experience life to the fullest! Instead of a Bucket List, of things to do before I die. I've created, well...just a "list"...(you thought I was going to have a fancy name for this list didn't you?)...of things to do make me feel even more alive and to appreciate what I have.

I don't see turning 30 as the beginning of the end. I see it as intermission during a really long boring movie. And I'm going to enjoy this bathroom break for as long as I can before I am dragged back to the second half of this movie.
