Well, perhaps but this was in the "rural" DC area, and he was a spiked pink-haired punk rocker. They wouldn't let him do promos because he didn't fit the demographic, but he worked for what they could pay.

You'll have to live your entire life over again before 60, and one more time if you make it to 90.

For the most part there is very little difference in my life at almost 60 that at 30. Sure, I sometimes may be a little more sore, or a little slower but all the important things remain the same.

And, of course like most men, my brain still thinks I'm 18.

My brother and my sister constantly talk about the 30 year old brick wall. I don't get it. I'm 29, I'll be 30 this year. Am I just going to break on my birthday? It doesn't make sense.

Nothing about kids that require an SUV, at least not at first. Heck, my oldest son rode around in my '85 MR2 for the first 2 years of his life.

I do not understand the stigma attached to the age 30. It is just a number. Nothing changes when you hit that age any differently than any other age. If any ages should have any significance they are the milestone ones where things do change. Being able to drive, drink (not at the same time please), vote, receive pensions, etc all have way more impact in people's lives than 30. How many people do you say "Oh god I am going to be 16/18/21 next year I don't think I can handle it"?

Women will take you as "serious male" when you turn 30, at least on me

My parents were 28 when I was born. My parents are, and always have been "old" and "adult" to me. I'm turning 28 this month. I will be the same age as "old" and "adult" people. That makes me old and adult. It doesn't have to make logical sense.

But see you picked 28 not that magical 30 that everybody talks about.
If going by when kids were born I was "old and adult" when I was 21 so maybe that is why 30 meant nothing to me.

Welp, he did start the thread. I’m not gonna read it, post it nor even bother cleaning it up, so don’t even bother reporting it.

It is just a challenge for anybody stock to show their acceleration logs to see if they can beat him. So far the consensus is that his data means nothing without separating the pulley from the rest of the mods.

My parents had three kids by the time they were my age... I have high school friends that have 3 or more kids. Sometimes I feel old, but then I look at my single life, my lack of romance, and my condo that is pretty much a cliche single-dude home.
