Happy 30

Well, as you can see by the artistic display of Coke cans I recently turned 30. There’s nothing quite like coming home to 70+ cans of Coke laid out in my floor. The Coke surprise was from a good fiend here who knows my love for Coke all to well.
Even though there’s not to much to do on the base here we did mange to put together a little Texas Hold’em game on my birthday and low and behold wouldn’t you know it that the birthday boy won. Is was the first game we played where there was an actual buy-in for the game, so I walked away with a little bit of extra cash in my pocket on this special day.
A couple people have asked me if it feels any different to be 30. Well, I can honestly say I haven’t thought about much. It’s been about a week now and everything feels the same. For the most part I think I’ll always be young at heart, walking that line between funny and immature the rest of my life. Maybe I’m wrong, maybe this is just the Peter Pan syndrome talking, maybe I’ll wake up tomorrow and think about my “things to do before I’m 30 list” and flip out. Only time will tell. Let’s just hope that over the years I grow in a little bit of wisdom and manage to not lose too much hair. Who am I kidding? I gave up on the hair at age 23.
