Turn 30 today. Still feel like a teenager though. Single, sitting in a hotel room (stuck in a hotel out of town for work), playing video games, watching cartoons, anime, etc. Maybe I'll grow up one day.
Same age/lifestyle boat as you. I've seen what growing up does to people, especially my younger brother. **** that, I'm not changing even after I die. And **** that YOLO **** as well.

Happy Birthday! I remember when I turned 30, two decades+2 years ago, people said "Now time starts to fly by." They were right, it does, but nothing like when you hit 50. Hell, it seems like just yesterday I was setting my clock forward an hour!
I wouldn't count on it. The next generation will just see how we act and arbitrarily assign that as "how grownups act" while marveling at how it always seemed to them like we knew everything, but when they grew up, they felt like they didn't know ****.
Let's see, 30. I think that was when my knees started to go.

Well if you weren't on them all the time it probably wouldn't have become an issue, hmm?
Clever words, coming from my catcher!

It was; we've been meaning to talk to you about that.
