The other day I was thinking about the fact that my 28th birthday is in 19 days.

That really blows my mind. I used to think 28 was so old. Now… not so much I guess. In a lot of ways I still feel like I’m 23. In other ways, I definitely feel 28. In 4 months it will be 10 years since I graduated high school. 10 years! What the hell??? That’s the same amount of time from 2nd - 12th grade. Doesn’t seem like it. Where did all the time go? Sometimes I wonder. I’ve done a lot of shit in the last 10 years, can’t say I regret any of it, but sometimes it does weird me out how fresh my memories of high school still are. I can think about things that happened 11 years ago like they happened this past summer. 10 years. Wow.

Life is good though. I don’t have much to complain about. Living on the farm is awesome. I’ve met several amazing people since I’ve been back. Lost touch with a few others, which is disappointing. But the people that really matter are still here (see: Kerry Jones). Life is life is life is life. I keep getting older, and I keep thinking it really doesn’t damn matter… I’m still the same person I always have been, and I probably will be when I’m 75.

Here’s to the next 28 years. And the 28 years after that. 28 years all the wiser.
