Not that I didn't take any, but I should have taken bigger ones. I'm making up for it now ;) I wish I had taken more chances by the time I was 30, but better late than never.

It's good. A little effort required to keep it good, but if there wasn't any effort, that would be boring. I am 30. It’s good.

I'm 36 now and I remember 30 as being a turning point in my life in a lot of ways. I honestly think I only started growing up when I hit 30 and the rest of my thirties have so far been a real education in what is important in life. In many ways, I wasn't where I wanted to be at 30 and I'm still not. I had been married for a few years by then and was just getting started having kids. I also worked in a cubicle job I hated. Now I have a bunch of small kids and I'm looking at an imminent divorce and I'm still working in that shitty little cubicle. Believe it or not, I'm actually looking forward to 40 in a funny way. Not to be a downer, but hitting the fast forward button would be great right now. Maybe not to 40, though. Could I have 37 instead? Great discussion once again, Noah.

For me, 30 is a distant memory....not a recent recollection that I can glance at in the space-time continuum's rear view mirror, but a spot on the one-way highway of life that's a great many exits back. Back then, I pictured myself as chairman of the board.....but instead I've turned out to be something closer to the "leadoff man for Team Slacker". And it feels great. Fear not the passing of your youth. With it, life's most daunting hassles begin to seem petty. Worry not about the lessening of your ambition. Life's too short to work long hours. And fret not about the waning of your libido.....that banshee-like demon that clings to your back during a man's younger years, but fades into something more akin to a well-trained pet come his fourth decade. *WHEN* I’M 30????
