Trying To Outrun Bachelor Time

It seems my whole life these days have been full of new beginnings…new job, new apartment, new state, new friends, new joys, new frustrations and new independence. I guess it’s a fitting time for me to be transitioning into all these new things since my 27th birthday is now less than a week away.

It’s a crazy number, this 27. Once I met 26, the idea of the next one wasn’t too exciting for me. I used to sweat being in my mid-20s, but now that those days are, well, days away from being over, I can’t help but wonder if there’s some sort of intermediate numerology that would prevent me from sliding into the late category. Is there a price I can pay, some sort of bribe that would suffice?

Pretty sure the answer to that is no.
Ah, damnit.

So in the meantime, while I find out ways to deal with the fact that my hair is starting to thin just like I knew it would and how I found a white hair sticking straight out of my beard and how my body has begun a revolt against me working out every day when it had no problem with it just a few months ago, the clock keeps ticking.

Stupid time, it never wants to stop for anything…not even my neuroses.

27 is not so bad. I am more worried about when we turn 30!

ugh, let's not even talk about 30! I'm still trying to wrap my mind around 27 for now!
