Turning 29...

[SDShark]

So next month, (not saying when), I will be turning 29 years young. The bigger thing to me is, I will only have a year until I turn 30. Is there anyone here who had a running list of things they wanted to experience, accomplish, or places you wanted to go before the big 3-0?

What was on your to-do list during your last year of being a twenty something? Thanks guys.

I'm married, so my list was short. LOL. One was to make sure we had another baby by then. I told the wife that I wasn't having kids after 30. Everything worked out.

Also, I should point out that birthday bombs usually don't care about the exact date, only month. Everyone agree??

NBA all star weekend, Super Bowl, out the country trip, and start being more involved with my savings own 401k mutual funds and the like. All were checked off before 30. Most important thing is to enjoy life and live it!! I have a plaque in my office that says "live as if your going to die tomorrow learn as if you will live forever"

 

[TonyRome]

And Doug is absolutely correct if we bomb enough one is bound to land on the right date!!'

Good way to get bombed...

Steve-

Next year you should celebrate the big 30 by going on the BOTL safari. I turned 40 last year and went on safari and it was one of the most unique and memorable experiences.

before 30 all i wanted was a stable life and make "x" amount of money in a year.

Now before 40 is where the real goals are going to be achieved.

My goal was to just make it to 30. Now my goal is to just make it to 50.

 

[Heath]

I honestly can say I did not have a goal. I was still to stupid to think ahead and plan. Now I am paying the price. My goal now is to buy a house.

 

[ENV]

My goal was to start a business and I did.

My other goal was to be a millionaire. I havent achieved that status yet.

The big 30 comes this year for me.

 

[Agentskull]

No real goals when the big 30 happened

With that said. I focus on work a little less(dont bring it home with me.) More personal contact with my family because as the years go on we get more distant. Use the word "yes" more often by going outside my comfort level and experiencing new things.

happy early birthday shark.

If you are implying that we haves a troll on our hands, I can assure you that this is a legitimate inquiry, and not some shifty way to lure guys into bombing him. Shark is too much of a straight shooter to pull that kinda foolishness. Besides, he'd probably ask this at our Thursday herf, but there are only a handful of us, and most of us are under 30 (although,I wish i could say that for myself). This makes BOTL, with its broad range of ages within the membership a much better resource.

That said, if you want to bomb him for his slip up (because Shark is ALWAYS putting his for in his mouth), his Birthday is either the 17th or the 19th (I can never keep them straight).

And now to respond to the question:

Shark, I had a list if things to do, but they were all "wants." On my 29th Birthday, I found out that Nicole was pregnant with Eamonn, so we went forward with the wedding plans that were in place. I became a husband and a farther when I turned 30. See, I got what I "needed."

i can see Cmac's point, but shark is NOT that guy in any interaction i have ever seen. at. all.

to the point, i have always had a nihilistic streak, so i just wanted to really see what thirty was like, doubting at times that i may see it. realistically, it's just more of the same. more important is the fact that if you are successfully living, you never stop doing something, learning things, growing, unless you choose to. i went to riot fest last year at thirty-five. regretted it physically for a week, but DAMN was it fun! this year, time allowing, might get back into spelunking. o)

set goals and work towards them. make sure your neeeds as a person, including the needs of those you are in relationships with, are taken care of. the real meat of life happens while you are doing this kinda shit.

I turned 30 last year and my only goal was to stop and enjoy life more often

 

[xFreebirdx]

I'd post a list of accomplishments but I don't remember them from when I turned 30...............

I don't know what Cmac was saying... It was either along the lines of "check this troll out" or maybe it was more like "hey ding-dong, how's your Chuck Taylor taste?" I just wanted to take a moment to point out that Shark is a cool dude... Not a troll.

 

[javajunkie]

no, I was denying the first, and agreeing with the second. o)

Right.


"Have I told you lately that I love you?"

 

[javajunkie]

the only "wind beneath your wings" you're getting off me is either steam off a coffe maker, or bacon farts. sorry.
