30...
« on: June 12, 2005, 08:16:49 PM »
Well, I'm 30 today.

I'm not sure how I feel about that.  The 20's were full of adventure.  I've run Bible Camps, broken horses, (peeled one), gone to jail, made a death-march, won a few martial arts tournaments, was an air force cadet, learned how to walk again, fallen in love, proposed, got dumped, lived in 5 different states both north and south of the Mason/Dixon line, helped a lot of people, destroyed a few, almost killed my best freind (see the jail line above), found hope to win some major battles, learned who my friends were and weren't, and found out that I'm a lot stronger than I ever thought.

So... I turn 30 today.

What now?

Anyone got ideas for more adventures to be had in the State of MN (can't leave) and without a firearm (can't use/own/possess)?  I figured you guys could come up with some interesting ideas.

Youth is wasted on the young...

Have you?

...jumped out of a perfectly good aircraft, relying on nothing more than a scap of silk to slow you fall?

...hidden behind a low nastly bush, the better to the drop on the "enemy" as he crawls past not more than a step in front of you?

...ground the foot pegs on motorcycle to sparks, rather then ride off into the abyess?

...watched the sunlight of dawn set fire the nightime webs of the spiders who live in the tree?

...listened to the birds mark the approach of an Elk through the trees, and only have him turn aside when he got too close and you tipped your hat to let him know you were there?

At 30, like you, I masturbated intellectually about what I was going to do with the rest of my life.  At 33, I just want to fish more: I guess I'm not that deep!

"Happy Birthday".

Go to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) on a canoe/camping trip if you haven't yet!

Sindawe... I haven't done the skydiving or enemy thing.  Though in 7 years of a game of 'couselor hunt' played about every week for 8 yrs running, my hommade gillie suit (blanket based i don't have THAT much time) once meant that I got to lay perfectly still while 4 high schoolers sat within 2 feet of me and talked after they had given up hunting for me.  (30 minutes of discussion later when I stood up they were... upset.)
Spider thing... check.
Elk thing... I'll have to try that one.

Ezekiel:  We may not always agree, and sometimes we do.  But man oh man do you have a way with words.  "Masturbated intellectually".  I'm not sure what Art's gramma would think, but I'm definitely going to have to remember that one!

Shortly after I turned 30 I started to want to enjoy more things in life, I didn't have to go out every Friday and Saturday night and get three sheets to wind and so forth. Realized that if you go to bed earlier well at least sober, that you can get up and enjoy the daylight hours so much more.

Happy belated..
I'll be turning 32 this Dec, and I think back at what I was doing when I was 22.
While I am no richer than I was back then.. actually deeper in debt :p
I feel I have a richer understanding of life and am looking forward to the next 30 years.

I'm working on learning to grow grapes.

When I turned 30, I held a "Feast of the Passover" as my birthday party - passing over from youth to senility... Cheesy

Sixteen years later, I admit that I might have been a bit premature!

ROFL.  You guys are wonderful.  I'm currently kicking myself for taking some time off here.

Preach, was I supposed to wait until 30 to get senile?  Dang... I think I jumped the gun and started...

when was that again?
