 Saying goodbye to one decade and hello to a new one today. On one hand, it feels weird to say my age now because I don't look or feel it. But saying it out loud makes me feel a lot older than a lot of the people around me. I didn't say "I feel old" because I don't want to be one of those people. There are literally people on here almost twice my age who would scoff at such silliness. Just as I do when someone in their early twenties says it. But as long as I feel and look young, it really is just a number to me for now. It's just mind blowing how time flies. I'm more than twice as old as WrestleMania was when I first started watching wrestling. I'm the same age The Rock in 2002. I'm the same age Boogyeman pretended he was on Tough Enough. Lance Cade died at 29. I've lived longer than so many big celebrities and it's only when I get to this age that I realise just how young these people were. Present wise I've gotten cards, a cake, The Championship Showdown Undertaker/Bret battle pack, the Throne Breaker Cody figure, Burnt Fiend, Elite 92 Rey, Elite 91 Hogan, a vanilla cupcake Yankee candle, honey scented stuff from Lush, the latest Inside The Ropes Magazine, some little fun things such as a crowd, party poppers, party blowers, balloons, decorations etc. Some birthday cake themed snacks such as cookie dough bites, candy floss and Oreos and cupcakes etc. I also bought myself some stuff from eBay including a loose basic 67 Goldust, RA2 Batista, AD10 JBL, Basic Tensai, TTL Albert, an RA Shelton Benjamin(Red attire, Backlash PPV maybe?), Basic 36 Christian, and rebought all the WWF games for PS1 and a couple of WWE PS2 games. Had a Subway breakfast and cashed in on my birthday free cookie using the app. Got my female friend coming over tonight for some Network and chill. Gonna order a Chinese as well and end the night with Raw... hopefully a Cody Rhodes arrival! Anyone else turned 30 recently or about to turn 30? How did you spend it? And to those who've been there and done it, what advice do you have for life in the thirties? |

I have concert T-shirts older than you.
Happy birthday.
Enjoy your hair while you still have it. Take care of your knees, shoulders, hearing, sight & back. Save your money. Don't squander it on stupid stuff (32 inch rims for a $600 car, $2,000 sneakers, etc.) Try investing into a 401K if your workplace offers it. This will help you later in life if you see a future working there. Don't rush into marriage. Take good care of your vehicle.

Have a happy one my dude!
I remember my 30th. It was the first time my wife and I got away from our newborn daughter who was just about 1 year old at that point. It was a long summer weekend at Lake George NY while the baby stayed with my mom

Happy birthday!
I've been greatly enjoying my 30s. Basically everything after 25 has been gravy for me in terms of my mind and how I feel. Hope you had a great one.

Happy belated birthday mate! I turn 30 next year, but I never think of my age at all to be honest with you, it's literally just a number to me. I do however get a bit of a "old man" feel when I think that when my nephew turns 18, I'll be 40 all things well, and that's mad to me.
Btw, Vanilla Cupcake Yankee candles are my favourite from their range. I get one every Christmas from my mum, haha.

I'm 41. I found that the first half of life drags. You're at home and have to follow the rules. You go to school and follow the rules. You're young, you have to follow the rules. There are a lot more controls put on young people. I went to college at 18 (only finished 1 year) and have been working and living since I was 19. You have many more opportunities and freedoms as an adult with your own place. My 20's up to now has FLOWN BY compared to 19 and under.
It's like the saying, "time flies when you're having fun" becomes a reality when you're in the "real world."
