Most of my friends don't believe me when I say Im 25. I actually had one ask me to show that I was that old and so I showed them my drivers license. It feels weird knowing that so many of the people I came into college with are graduated and some of them are now married or finishing grad school.

I think that's the problem. It's been waaaay too cold for golf. I'm not like this in the summer.

Sounds like you have a classic case of Seasonal Affective Disorder.

I think you guys need to wait a while and not create a new crisis. I mean you are still in your 20s come on! My 20s were the best part of my life. Wehn I was 24 I built my house. Go find something useful and challenging to do. Wait till you are old like Fumble then get upset. :P

If I tried building a house, it'd be like the one Homer built for Ned after the Flanders's house was destroyed by a hurricane...

(ummm... if i'm using Simpsons references, then I *am* young... And therefore, have a lot in front of me. Carpe Diem!)

Sorry to hear that, Ed: 26 is definitely the "wrong side of 20" as you are now closer to your 30s than you are your teen years. Time to start shopping for the mid-life crisis vehicle purchase and begin working on your comb-over. If you aren't married by then, forget it, because it's never going to happen; if you are married and your wife is the same age, this is her prime child-bearing years (I'll let the fathers on here explain what that means).
I'm screwed than. I'm 32 and never been married. It is funny, because I'm the king of the single moms (everyone keeps trying to hook me up with these mid 20 to early 30 year old women with 1 or more kids). Several are attractive, but I just don't know if I could get married, and wake up the next morning to a 5 year old kid (or older).

your marrying a 5 year old...that's sick dude. That's not a mid life crisis, you need help.

Its even wierder when everyone you went to school with is married, some have grandkids, many are dead, and others have kids in college.

And for BELCHER: it comes down to this- would you get angry if you find yourself with a plastic pokemon figurine impaled in your foot after simply attempting to pee at 0200? Or perhaps, LEGOs?

Scenario #2: you arrive home after working an overnite and cannot get into your own bed (Queen size) due to it being occupied by :
  • (1) wife
    (1) 8 yr old boy
    (1) 6 yr old Jack Russell
    (1) 2 month old demon child
sleeping in a dinosaur themed bunk bed isn't as bed as it seems. The kid has those cool tempur-pedic foam pillows and a toasty-warm leopard print blankey with fringes. It sure beats the couch.

If you can handle that and baby puke in the face daily (oh- nearly forgot the pee soaked bath mat around the tub and toilet)
then you're good to go.

Scenario #3: cleaning out your car- you are mildly suprised (not really, more intrigued) to find several 3 lb rocks stashed next to the booster seat. When quesioned, the aforementioned 8 yrd old advises they are "fossiles" and he's "saving them"

of course.

Hey y'all -- for those of you who actually care (and aside from ... um... okay fine, no one cares, but I just wanted to type this to book-end this tale), but I wanted up getting a promotion at work. So all is well in the Dantes household.

Our daughter moved back home after being gone for two years. She graduated from LU this past May and is going through it too. She was reading an article the other day about how more and more, college grads are moving back into their parents home. Yea, I don't deal with pee soaked towels, poo-pee diapers and throw up. After going through the heartache of seeing her move out two years ago.....she's back!!!! And so are her dishes, her furniture (our house is small enough as it is), her kitty-cat and not to mention fighting over the remote control. It's was tough letting her go two years....... and now that she's back I love her but yeeeesh, can't wait til she finds what she's going to do and gets her own place and takes her furniture and her kitty. :dramaqueen
