33 Realizations on Turning 33

Around this time last year I wrote my first blog ever. I published it on my MySpace page and it was entitled 32 Realizations on Turning 32. To celebrate my 1 year anniversary of entering the blogsphere, here’s another round of realizations as I age further into oblivion.


1. My life does not remotely resemble the lives of any of the characters on the hit 90’s show Thirtysomething.

2. Contrary to popular belief, 33 does not read the same way when you flip it around. It actually reads EE.

3. I still see a twenty-something when I look in the mirror.

4. Most pro athletes are younger then me.

5. I can’t imagine my life at 40.

6. Regrets are like children, I’m not sure if I want any.

7. I’ve underappreciated the value of traveling.

8. I don’t understand what Bluetooth does and how it works.

9. Embracing your inner geek is a good thing but sharing it with others is better.

10. Baseball looses more and more meaning for me every year.

11. Age ain't nothing but a number unless you spell it out and then its letters.

12. Old school rap is the new classic rock.

13. As much as I hate to admit it I’m still a romantic at heart.

14. Despite #13, I feel no rush to find someone to be romantic with.

15. As varied as my palate is, I’d be content to eat pizza 75% of the year.

16. My vanity has increased exponentially ever since I turned 30.

17. Clothes do not make the man but they don’t hurt either.

18. I’ve become more of a TV man then a movie man..

19. Much like allergies, it seems like I’m developing a slightly sweeter tooth as I get older.

20. I do not suffer fools or idiots easily.

21. I’ve never worked in an environment where I feel like the majority of my coworkers are my equals or my peers.

22. I’m quite full of myself.

23. Debt is more about attitude and less about money.

24. Growing old and growing up are not synonymous, at least in my case.

25. While I detest doing things for people in general, etc., I will bend over backwards to help people I care about.

26. I will never live to see the day where we all drive flying cars.

27. I will live to see Martin Scorsese win an Oscar.

28. Music keeps you feeling young even if it means suffering through Timberlake.

29. Deep down…inside…I’m probably a little less cynical then I think I am.

30. After a separation that lasted a couple of years I’ve reunited with The Simpsons and it feels so good.

31. Even though I love to surround myself with the latest gadgets I’m in no rush to have an HDTV.

32. If I ever have a “career” instead of a job, it will be as a writer.

33. 33 may be one year more then 32, but they feel about the same.
