It's Thursday!

I'm tired.
It's shortly after midnight and I'm awake, which doesn't bode well for my getting up early tomorrow. I had planned to write a little bit about a possible theme that I had considered earlier, only now I've forgotten what it is. This may be due to the fact that I'm exhausted. It also may be due to the fact that I'm getting older. It's true. Just last Monday I aged a year. I'm not sure how this happened, but I woke up and was suddenly 28 years old.

Now may not seems like it's very old. I wouldn't think so at least. But let's see what happens if we google "28 years old":

First is some boring fake web site, so we'll ignore that.

Second we have a Yahoo Answers question that proves I'm over the hill:
"Angel" asks whether 27-28 years is too old to have a child.

Thankfully Angel has received some insightful answers from some very experienced individuals. For example, "brooklyn..." writes:

I have to disagree with the people that are saying that "you're never to old to start a family" OH YES!!!

40 and over is too old! I understand people want to continue their education and start their careers but come on. How many 50 yr old can keep up with a 10 yr old, especially if the kid is out of control. 50 isn't old but too old to have a 10 yr old.

I had my son when I was 21. I would do it again and again and again. He's 7 now and a handful!! I couldn't imagining being 47 with him. No way! I'd need help. I want my next and last child b4 i turn 30 in two years.

To answer your question 27-28 is not too old to have your first kid! Just don't wait too long for the second if you want a second one.

Thanks "brooklyn...". I'm not sure why your name doesn't have a capital letter, or why it has an ellipsis, but I shall assume that it signifies a deep wisdom only attainable from raising a child before it's "too late". Thank bejeebus that brooklyn... will have the physical endurance to teach her child everything she knows, like how to spell "b4".

At 28 I guess that I better get on the whole baby thing soon then eh? I was thinking though that because I personally enjoy gay-man-man sex, chances are slim that I'll get one of my own soon. This is why I'm asking for some advice on Yahoo Answers myself...

Actually I'm not.

I was planning on posing whether anyone knew of somewhere that would rent out children. However after careful consideration I fear that this may lead some people to a *very* wrong conclusions. I'll hold back on Yahoo Answers for the moment.

Somewhat ironically, the third result was an article about an 11 year old who seduced men online... Don't worry - it was from a satire of christian fundamentalists.

So... I'm older... but it seems no wiser, no smarter, and no more talented. What have I then? Just another reason to feel that I've done nothing with my life, and the realisation that I'm too old to blame on having a Gen Y attitude.

I've also gotten more cynical I guess. I'll attempt to rectify this in future, but I make no promises.

Perhaps this blog will be about what it's like to live during my 28th year. It would give it a short lifespan as far as blogs go, but it's a start. I could talk about how I suddenly feel the pressure to achieve goals and contribute to society in some form. I could rant about how the children these days don't appreciate what they have. I could even reminisce about days before the Interweb and cellular telephones. Then again, I think I would rather go sit in a bath while making some toast and shaving my wrists after taking some pills to fall asleep.

This is my third post now, so you're probably curious as to why I named this blog "Save the sea cows!".
