Today is the day that I turn 27. Big year. Will I join the 27 club? Only time will tell.
Being 27 is crazy because so many people say that in your 20s is when you can party and be young and stupid. Now that I am officially in my late 20’s, I feel like I have aged like a glass of milk. Why? You ask. Great question.
1: When I have 4 beers, I wake up hungover. There was a point of my life where I could crush 15 beers on the beach and another 15 after dinner. My body has gotten to a point where if I even attempt to drink 15 beers in 1 day total, it will completely shut down. I went to a golf outing recently and I drank a decent amount at the outing. I wasn’t shitfaced, but I definitely wasn’t able to drive a car. We went to a bar after the outing and I may have committed a felony in the bathroom. The amount of throw up that occured for the next 12 hours is astonishing. My body told me that I was a psychopath and just stopped working.
2: My body doesn’t allow for a lot of physical activity at one time. About a month ago I was doing yard work and I threw my back out. No idea how. I was pulling weeds and then all of a sudden I felt something pull all the way up the middle of my back. As an avid golfer, I was extremely worried about the tee time I had FOUR DAYS LATER! 3 or 4 years ago, I would know that I would be back in action in 2 days TOPS. Those days are long gone.
3: I hate being out late. Whenever someone asks me to do anything after 8pm, I am genuinely disgusted by the ask. 8pm? You wanna hangout for about an hour? Because I will be home by 930. The days of meeting people out at 10PM are loooong gone. There is not 1 ounce of me that would even consider walking out of my house after 10PM. You know what is great? Going to bedWaking up at 730AM with energy and being able to get shit done.
4: I am going to be a dad on purpose in January. If you follow me on the twitterverse, You’d know that I have been married for a little over a year. Something that I have not shared publically is that my wife and I were trying to get pregnant. We all know what that means ;). Anyway, I’m having a daughter in like 5 months.
When people talk about aging who are in their 30s, they say all of these things comes with age. But they all make it sound like they come about 6 years after they are happening to me. The only thing I have going that makes me feel young is my complete inability to grow a beard – the one thing I actually wanted to happen with aging.
