Turning 29...

[rdomfoto]

First of all, happy (pre) birthday!

I loved my 30s. It wasn't all puppies and unicorns (I divorced during that decade, lost a job due to a lyoff, etc.) but I was far better equipped to deal with it. People started treating me like an adult and not a "college kid", etc. So, enjoy it.

As for setting goals, that's not a bad idea but I like to follow the advice of the bike community: A young bike chooses a destination and goes. An old biker chooses a direction and goes.

I guess what I am trying to say is to dare to dream, map out the journey to that dream, but make sure you're open to change and willing to see the small things happening along the way. On the motorcycle, if I drove past a small town's fair, I always stopped. I've met some great people, enjoyed some of the oddest stuff that small-town America can offer, and more.

recall wayback after x years of a typical late twenties hookers and blow rockstar type lifestyle , 30 lended itself real swellike for a get fit body and mind friendly approach ...

in my day , 30's - got jacked , took ma classes , and did roadwork ala a madman..

Or perhaps, in your case , it maybe the other way around :skew:

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

Like Billy Joel sang, "I love you just the way you are."

I'm old unfortunately.. I was forced to redo all 120 credits of my degree due to transfer issues with my private university from before, this puts me in classes with 17 year olds every day... Before I'm 30, I'd like to get married. No kids after 36.

Thanks for the suggestions guys!

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).

Soo... How's that birthday panning out?
Just thought I'd bring this back to the top! :eyebrow:

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 remember when I turned 29....wait a second..... No I don't, never mind.

I really didn't have a list. I was stationed in Korea when I turned 30. So really I was just trying to get out of Korea alive and without losing any rank. It is just a number, don't sweat turning 30, just enjoy yourself.

I would love to be turning 30 again. Enjoy it brother! You have been given some good suggestions and I can only reiterate to "Go for it" and "stop to smell the roses."

 

[dharbolt]

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.

this sounds familiar

To do list. At 29? Make it till 30. Let's get together. Got something for ya.

It was a long time ago, I can't remember... :rofl:

Actually, I moved to the US when I was 29 and turned 30 that year, so that was kind of the big thing that year.

I'm in the same boat, turn 29 next month, this year I got married, had my second kid, and graduated college, so the thing I'm looking for before 30 is just a year without craziness, one trip to the Dominican Republic, and to do as many things with my wife and kids as I can! Enjoy your birthday!

I turn 29 next month, and I was taking stock the other day that life has been somewhat good so far.

Something that was said was to make the family count, I'm going to try and def do that more. With college and grad school, and moving around for those and work, I feel that I have left some family out of the loop so it say.

Guess before 30 I would like to start a family, and then your goals change I would assume. Less you more them.

I think my biggest thing is to keep trying new things and professionally trying to stay fresh. I mean yesterday I golfed for the first time ever. Fun time.
