I Need To Turn 21
Since the beginning of time humans have used birthdays to mark monumental occasions in our lives. Rather it was getting your first club as a 4 year old cave kid, your first lead painted toy full of small pieces as a child in the 30’s, your first car at 16 or fearing your 18th birthday because of the draft; birthdays have always marked new journeys in our lives. I have been awaiting my 21st birthday since the day after my 18th birthday. I realized that I was old enough to vote, go to a strip club, join the army and buy porn, but all the real fun begins at 21. I did not realize how much it sucks to be 20 until recently. I’ve been getting invited to a ton of events that are strictly 21 and over. I know that nothing that is 21+ really means 21+ but I’m always afraid that I’ll be that one unlucky guy that gets caught. I cant risk messing up my life right now. I have too much potential. So now, I’m counting down the days to March 10th. I’ll repeat that…I turn 21 on March 10th, just in case you want to send me a present or paypal me some extra money. 20 days and counting. Happy future b-day to me.
