This year I'll be joining the 27 club

Well, hopefully not actually. but the age is appropriate... and so I'm having a bit of a trip about it here

and the fact I used to look up to kurt cobain so much and now I'm about the same age as when he died, and as all these talented musicians.

I dont want to compare myself to cobain but I did when I was a lot younger. Now I'm reminded how fast my life is slipping away and I'm hardly doing anything with it.

I haven’t been 27 for 13 years.

You are still so young.

@iamonfire696 true

Much of the time I sort of live in the moment, how I currently am

@caPnAhab I am glad you live in the moment

@iamonfire696 For me it is shocking that 40 year olds are eight years my junior.

Like this is getting to be bullsh*t.

@CestManan I get it. I graduated high school in 2000. That seems forever ago.

@iamonfire696 I remember thinking, "That is going to be cool for the class of 2000, to graduate THAT year but they still have a while."

Hey, remember when society was worried about things being "Y2K compliant"? Bet you ain't heard that one in a while.

@CestManan Y2K was such a freaking bust. All that panic over nothing 🤣

@iamonfire696 There were some minor and laughable problems but no where NEAR the whole "airplanes falling out of the sky" scenario that they pushed.

One thing is for sure - they love to create panic. Here is one - religious leaders thought that 1993 was going to be the year to start the rapture and tribulations. I graduated in 1993 and you know what my thought was? "Can't I at least enjoy a couple years of being out of school before the world ends?" 😄

@CestManan I wonder what it was about 1993?
