It's So Hard To Say Goodbye.....

Well, it’s time to say “so long” to my twenties. It has been a long tumultuous journey that will end on April 1st. There have been good time and plenty of bad time but there are few, if any, that I regret. As I say goodbye I thought I would come up with a list of “twenty something” achievements or landmarks that we all can relate to.

Well Twenties, I would say “I’ll see you later” but I’d be lying to you. Anyway, it’s been fun…..

1)Turning 21 and finally being able to drink….legally.
2)Turning 23 and being able to get into clubs that were supposedly for the “grown and sexy” 23 and up. You later found out that it was a bunch of bull*ish!
3)Turning 25. For some reason it just meant something.
4)Turning 20. You finally left your teen years behind but you still did the same dumb *ish that you did when you were 18 & 19.
5)You’d always heard that turning 18 made you grown but you weren’t REALLY grown until you turned 21. Nobody could tell you *ish!
6)Man, remember turning 21 and going into the liquor store to buy something for the first time. That *ish was like being in heaven. You went in for one thing but got lost in the cornucopia of beverages.
7)Didn’t you get sick of hearing, “you’re almost 30” when you turned 29?
8)Unless you were still frequenting Tweety’s, when you turned 21 you could finally rent a hotel room on your own. No longer did you have to get your “older cousin” to do it.
9)Ahhh….and renting a car became a little easier too.
10)Man, do you remember the feeling you had the first time someone asked you to see your ID? That was the *ish!
11)Now, you get pissed or frustrated every time you get carded!
12)Remember the *ucked up feeling you had when one of your younger siblings friends asked how old you were and when you told them they looked at you like “Damn you’re old!”
13)At 28 or 29, isn’t it strange to be the old person in a group of 20 year olds?
14)At your 10 year class reunion it finally hit you that you were getting older.
15)When you have kids, anything older than 19 is old as hell to them!
16)Remember when you got your first credit report and you see all the dumb *ish you did when you were 18 & 19….yeah, that one still hurts!
17)As bad as it sounds, remember the first time YOU were asked to buy some alcohol for someone under age? Yeah, you know you did it! Someone did it for you!
18)Remember the first time you ordered a drink when you were at dinner with your parents and you gave them that look like, “What, ni**a I’m grown”. Hell yeah, you remember that *ish.
19)What about the first time you heard a song or saw a movie and said, “I was like 17 when that came out”?
20)You FINALLY realized that it wasn’t cool to go to 21 and up clubs anymore!
21)Remember when you figured out that Happy Hour was some cool *ish and it wasn't for "old" people.
22)Hole-in-the walls actually became fun places to go.
23)Remember the day you realized that you could dance like the people in videos and you response to it was, "man, I'm too old for all that".
24)You realized that beer wasn't just for old pot-bellied men.
25)Reference back to #23, ain't that a b*tch! Now, everything is "I'm too old for that" or "I'm going to do some grown" *ish! Seems like yesterday when we were dreaming of being this old.

.......Man, those were the days.
