Coming of Age....

Well how did that happen?

I'm sat here on the final day Ill ever be twenty something wondering what the hell just happened to the last decade; trying to decide whether I should just push back that list of things I was supposed to have done by now or write them off completely as a lost cause. Of course there are some things that are just unobcheivable now, like having a salary that equaled a certain amount by the time I'm 30 for instance, unless by some miracle I'm given an enormous pay rise over the weekend!

What's strange is that I really don't feel like an adult, most of my friends all seem much more "adult" than I and of course like any good middle class public schoolboy I like to fit in with crowd so I'm nodding my head and wracking my brain for the last time I watched the news. I can't help feeling like I'm still only a teenager, I mean surely it was only the other day that I was 17 and foolishly acting the rebel? Wasn't it? 13 years ago you say? Well nothing has changed, well except for the need to earn cash to pay the bills, and of course money to go on holiday, oh and don't forget that new coffee machine you wanted or that 32" television... Oh and about the most rebelious I get these days is...gasp... not wearing a suit to work! No surely not! the horror! I know, your shocked arnt you? Your finding it hard to go on with such depraivety....Ahem....Not really sure where I'm going with that line of thought, probably best I cut it off there!
Still you've got to ask yourself... A good whisky matures in an oak casket.... Maybe it's the same for us except we don't get in a casket until the very end.

Oh my god what have I written.... You see I'm only 29 and 364 days old and already I'm rambling, but then that's what the blog's called after all!
