HELP! I seem to have lost my 20's
22Have you seen them anywhere? I swear I left them lying around here somewhere?
For realz though, it's my birthday. Shower me with praise.
I'm kidding, don't do that.
But, what I will let you do is to help me make a list of goals for my 30th year on this here Earth. I tend to not make New Years Resolutions and instead I usually try to set up a few goals for myself to accomplish during that year of my life.
This year I'm leaving those goals up to you. So have it. What will MEHcus accomplish in his 30th year?

Firat: Enjoy being another year older
Second: I was writing up a list of choices for you, but...
RIP
@Lotsofgoats So dark. I approve.
Warmest wishes for a most wonderful day!
On my 30th birthday I signed the escrow papers for my first house. I paid cash, which hints at what became of MY 20's (all work & no play made @ruouttaurmind a dull boy). In a blink you'll be asking if anyone has seen your 30's. Don't let them slip through your fingers unenjoyed... Be bold, be bright, be strong, but never, ever forget to have fun!
@ruouttaurmind
I have a couple of 10's I can lend you. Will that get you by until payday?
Everyone I knew told me that my 30's would be so much better than my 20's, but I tend to disagree. My 20's were so much fun. I am making more money in my 30's than I ever did before so there is that.
A few things to remember:
You cannot eat whatever you want like you did in your 20's. Making sure you have good eating habits will pay off in a few years when all the weight begins to stay with you.
Take care of your skin. You really start to look your age in your 30's. I never leave home without sunblock nowadays.
Pay attention to all those "old people" things like blood pressure and cholesterol. The earlier you take care of them, the better.
@conandlibrarian Oh! I almost forgot, happy birthday!
^^^ what he said about eating. so true.
Happy birthday. Just don't do what I did when I turned 30 a few months ago, and when you read about someone who is 30 think that they're old...only to realize you just turned 30!
Hmm. I hate to be the bearer of bad news and inconvenient arithmetic, but if you are turning thirty, you have already lived your thirtieth year. Now you need to figure out what to do during your 31st year of life.
@rockblossom @MEHcus People aren't kidding when they say those years go by quickly! And the older you get, the quicker they seem to go.
@rockblossom BOOM
pro-tip: don't try doing 30 shots. it doesn't ever end well.
@carl669 Oh come on, that's like only like 1/2 of a flask.
@MrMark half of this flask maybe.
@carl669
Couldn't find anything bigger?
@FroodyFrog that's the only one they sent me in my fuku. it's only a half gallon. guess the gallon size flask wouldn't fit in the box.
@carl669 30 shots... Wait... I'm 31 now... should I do 31... and of what? I can see this going to be a good day... The wife and I killed a bottle of tequila in 2 days... Who knew that a whole bottle of tequila only made 4 margaritas... ;)
@carl669
:(
Pay no attention to @carl669. Strive to accomplish things you've never done before and do those 30 shots. Happy Birthday to you!
My 30s are nearly gone. I really don't mind though.
Damn, me too, bro. A whole stack of 'em. So if you see any lying around, they're mine.
But seriously, happy birthday, @MEHcus. Sigh, I remember when 30 seemed old. So very very long ago.
I mean, not that I didn't lose some 20s. Be on the lookout.
Let's see... When I was 30... We had a newborn at home... so... It was a bit busy to get caught up in the whole I'm 30 thing... :) Maybe that'll catch up when I hit 40 ;) (PS... When I was younger I never thought I'd live to see 30... I thought the song was right... only the good die young.... maybe I'm not good then... but damn I'm glad I'm on this side of the dirt nap...)
@sohmageek
Wow, the whole middle part of that is so cheerful, and no, I'm not being sarcastic
Happy Birthday!
I'm firmly in the 30's are awesome camp. You've landed an awesome wife, good job, and are still able to eat most spicy food - I'd say you've hit some major goals already.
If you need a goal, make it one that will net you a fantastic tale no matter how it turns out. A trip to somewhere new, an artistic endeavor that makes you learn something, an adventure of some kind.
There are so many 'grown up' goals in life that we all work towards no matter what. Make 30 your year to challenge yourself to be passionate about something.
So true fucking story...while finishing up at school my plan was to offer the following as a goal...
SEND @STUDERC A FUCKING GOAT PRIZE
Well got home and found out you already did...good job you mother fucking mind reader. GOAL ACHIEVED.
Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday @MEHcus!
Happy 11110th Birthday....
If you look at it in base 2 then 30 doesn't seem so old does it?
My mother told me recently she has decided 104 is when you are old. So you have a ways to go yet.
One of us.
Happy Birthday, @MEHcus.
I
Goal: Make yourself a secret good deed memory.
Do something helpful or kind for someone else and don't tell anyone. Ever. Mow a senior's lawn, buy a homeless person a sandwich, disappear for a day and spend it working at a soup kitchen.
Although it is helping someone else, it will ultimately do more for you. A great way to start out and set the tone for your new decade.
Happy Birthday !
@MEHcus My lawn could use mowing. Shall I pencil you in on Thursdays?
Yes, make good memories. This is my last year in the 60s and I can't figure out where the hell they all went. I'm not climbing mountains or running marathons, but I'm still having a good time so there's something for you to look forward to.
Gosh to be 28-35 again. Before that yur a waste of resources.
Climb Mt. Everest.
"A man's only as old as the woman he feels." - Marx
A - Spend more time with your kids.
2 - If you don't have kids, spend more time making kids
iii) Go to an all inclusive resort if you've never tried that
@DMlivezey is right about 2. There are not enough people in the world so it's impartant for each of us to have as many children as we can afford.
Pro Tip: you can afford more than you think. The government has many programs to provide subsidies to help us fight underpopulation.
My favorite decade, the energy and optimism to do whatever you want and some life smarts to know what not to do. I just doubled that and still feel pretty much like I did then, except when I look in a mirror.
