Countdown the 38

On day 12 of this month I will be 38. Why would I count down to this? I guess really we count up to these things. 38 is late 30's. I was going on about 37 still being my mid thirties but there is no getting around the 8 being on the late side of the 30's. I mean what's next? 39. 39 is going on 40. So this is the late 30's coming up.

I guess people think about how they feel when they talk about birthdays. Me? I'm great. Most days. I mean, come on, to be honest I have crappy days just like the next person, but about life? I'm a happy guy. I've got two great kids, an awesometastic girlfriend, a good job (that no I don't post about my job because I fucking like it and would like to keep it. I guess the same is true for posting too much about the girlfriend... ok that made me laugh.) and a plan. Looking back? I've done stuff and then more stuff. I've spent adult years doing almost nothing. Three to be exact. Kid years doing nothing don't count. There were tough parts, but so? I have goals. I talk to the 8 ball. My conversations go like this:

"Will I ever play for the NBA?"

Shake shake shake

"It is decidedly so."
