Entropy

Yikes, I have another birthday coming up in a couple weeks. This past year has gone by in a flash. I have noticed a subjective acceleration of time in the last couple years. Remember when you were a kid, and next week might as well have meant the heat death of the universe? Now, the weeks seem to melt away in between breaths. Don’t think I’ll do much to celebrate this time around. Not that you can’t still get me something, if you’re so inclined. But 31 doesn’t have the base-10 elegance of 30, so I don’t see much point in making a big fuss about it. Just so I’m not considered middle-aged. Anything but that. Please let me be hip and cool for at least a couple more years. Please let girls in their mid-twenties look at me without thinking I’m too old for them. Please let me continue to use words like “awesome” and “dude” without sounding lame or completely phony. Please let me be an advertiser’s target demographic for just a little while longer.
