well folks, the countdown to 30 is almost over.
i’ve been a little busy and couldn’t pull together as many ’30 blanks until 30′ events as i had hoped, but i have decided to do a little something for this tragic momentous occasion.
all in all i’m content with where i am today. i’ve been blessed with a loving family, gnarly friends, good health and the opportunity to pursue my personal and professional goals. i cannot complain about the hand i’ve been dealt (although i will complain about a bunch of other stuff) and i look forward to what the next 60 or so years will bring (being on this earth for 100 years is not necessary unless i’m in ridiculously good shape).
i’m a little peeved that my birthday isn’t included in the NYT On This Day list as an event or as a celebrity birthday… gotta work on that for 2020. but i do have 2 degrees to keep me warm. that should count for something, right?
at any rate, i figured i would look back and regret spending the day in my hot ass apartment all by myself, so without further ado here is:

ummm
definitely not from the 80’s but i’ve had mixed emotions about this birthday. don’t be surprised if you hear me say this over the weekend…
clearly not 1980… but so fitting
