Excuse the AI radio interruption

But importantnewsright now

Last week I got a year older

But none the wiser!

I remember when I was 22, thinking...

"Gosh when I will be 35 I will be so oldddd

And so ADULT"

Well... I am neither

Definitely seeing few more smiley wrinkles

Definitely have a few more bills and boring stuff to deal

But still feel like a big kid

Still snort when i laugh really hard

Still like cake for breakfast

Still have moments when i am like "I'm not grown up enough to deal with this Sh**"

The one big bonus of growing older tho is

That on the way you get to meet a lot of very special people

The people who would learn how to play Happy Bday on a guitar just for you

Who would go to Costa Rica just because you say "Hey will you come?"

Who would make you a digital card with your AI avatar

Who would drive 8 hours from South Carolina to Nashville just to see you for 15 minutes

Who will be there through thick and thin regardless of how cool/happy/sexy/successful you are or if you are just a sad potato.

So yes, growing old is not so bad

When you have those people

Cheers to 35

And to not being eaten alive by a plastic leopard
