Turning 30

[Cerveza mas fina]

What's the deal hombres? 30 is some kind of milestone it seems. Just like 18. Seems like it's the time period where one should get their shit together, or have it together already.

Now that I'm making up the balance at 30 it seems I did ok:
-I'm engaged to a great lady
-I've travelled a bit
-I got an ok job (interview for better one is tomorrow)
-Still looking good but could lose a few kilo
-Managed to get a degree in Uni
-Met some awesome people along the way
-I got all my grandparents

But not all is peachy!
-Live far away from family and close friends
-No kids yet
-It's hard to find a place to settle down and have kids when you and your lady are from different countries
-All the people I seem to know now close by are party people, where is my boring stay at home 30ish couples crowd to dine with
-No motorbike to drive around on
-No property bought yet
-I drink too much beer, and it's hard to stop smoking

What about you at 30 dudes?

I forgot all about hangover man, that shit kills me now.

At thirty I was married, starting my own company, traveled a lot, no kids thank god.  Pretty good.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Do you have kids now?

[Steve Contra]

Fuck no

Hm, I got married at 31, gonna be four years come October, still no real career yet sadly but gonna do some courses in the fall to maybe get the ball rolling on that. We nearly bought a house recently until the inspection showed it needed razing and rebuilding basically. So doing decent but could be better I suppose. Life's an unending project like that.

You don't really know shit until you're 30, at least in the US in my experience.  You still don't know shit afterwards, but if you're lucky you might figure out that you don't know shit, and hooray self-awareness I guess.

"It's just numbers man" is the mantra for all worried ageing feggits.

Chillax, enjoy the ride bro.

Both positive viewpoints to live by.

Me at 30... jesus ...

if i could go back i'd slap myself and get myself to be more strict on saving as much as i could and to tell me to, you know, enjoy all the sex because once you have kids you're going to be jacking it into the sock drawer a fair bit.

1.X years until 40... heeeere we come!

[Verdigris Murder]

Hey! Me and Cog are post buddies, that's pretty sweet.

I have two more days of being 29.  I don't think I'm gonna make it, bros.

30 is not a big deal. I'll be 32 next month and my life is still awesome.

Not all vaginas turn into sock drawers after having children dude, theres the caesarean op. And feeding them powdered artificial milk can extend the shelf life of your good ladies tits.

Same in Germany. I hope I know more once I cross the line, but it's not too far off now and I don't feel like it's going to happen.

Shut up, Potter.

[Akala]

30 was kind of a big deal to me. It's working out so far though.

Hangover bit is TROOF.  :'(

[Flannel Boy]

30 sucks.

That said, I've never been in better shape.

Breast milk is very important for a baby

On the rare nights when I'm drinking more than 3-4 beers or a couple glasses of wine, I usually start chugging water towards the latter 1/3rd of the night and I'm ok.

If I'm having more than two beers, I always have a big glass of water that I'm constantly refilling.
