50...how the freak did that happen then?
Yep, it happened. Back end of last year - I made 50!
Now, there have been some 'challenging' birthdays in my life - 30 was a bit strange, 40 was just wrong - and now this!
3 months on and I still don't get it! Surely by now I should have grown up? I remember my old man being 50 - and he was grown up. But I'm like a kid - still get stupidly excited when it's a Friday (beer day!), drink too much beer, play this stupid game until the wee small hours while talking absolute rubbish with my buddies on skype.
I look in the mirror and I see that 30 year old. I feel like a 30 year old (well, inside my head I do). I think like a 20 year old - well, maybe 30. But somehow, I'm 50...ffs! It just sounds so WRONG!
A couple of school friends have recently 'found me' on facebook - I looked at their pictures and they looked like granddads! I couldn't believe it. Then, last week, our company had a photoshoot. And that my friends and followers of this thread, is where it smacked me round the chops like a Tyson roundhouse! I look OLD!!!
Going to take some time getting used to this.
Any tips and advice welcome - got to be cheaper than the therapy I'm thinking of taking... lol.
Happy hitting to young and old - and special warm regards to the squirrel man and hoping peace is with you.
