The Final Countdown

Tomorrow I will be 34. I don't really feel 34 which I guess is a good thing. Although it doesn't stop me from my blood running cold in the middle of the night when the reality of my mortality sinks in. That's a real adrenaline kick at 4am I can tell ya! I hope that feeling passes. You hear old folks (anyone older than 40) saying "I feel the same today as I did when I was eighteen" and I think I can now see that it is probably true - not some medicine induced false memory. Although it's a little odd to think that i was skateboarding around my city before alot of the kids I see doing the same now, were born! Gnaahh.. youth of today.... etc. My 33.99 years have been good ones so far and I have managed to get a super wife who gave me two super kids and can also hold down a stress free well paid job for which I am constantly commended! I am still on talking terms with all of my family and have no debts at all (apart from the mortgage). I didn't try too hard at school, didn't work at getting a good career and didn't cause my parents too much grief. However, I did annoy the police a few times and make a few drunken mistakes with girls - but who doesn't! At the moment, life is good. Who knows what tomorrow will bring.
