Don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll do much to celebrate this time around.

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&#8217;m too old for them.  Please let me continue to use words like &#8220;awesome&#8221; and &#8220;dude&#8221; without sounding lame or completely phony.  Please let me be an advertiser&#8217;s target demographic for just a little while longer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yikes, I have another birthday coming up in a couple weeks.
