Another year older...

I am twenty seven today.  I have always been confused by people asking if I feel older or any different from year to year.  I think that the last year I felt older from the previous year had to be going from twenty to twenty one.  Maybe it was because my sister took me out and got me shit faced at midnight and I spent the next day in the basement under a blanket.  But it may also be the last 'big event' of getting older.  

At twenty one you can now go out to the bars, legally, and drink.  What else is there?  I guess that at twenty five you get cheaper car insurance, but I didn't even have that because our car insurance guy gave us a discount when I added onto A's insurance.  People make big deals about thirty and forty and fifty, but there is nothing that goes with it.  No big perks, nothing that you couldn't do before.  

Birthdays in between twenty one and the year you start getting senior citizen discounts are not monumental.  I am starting to make a habit out of taking time off of work for my birthday.  Taking trips and vacations.  Last year we were in Dallas and this year we are home.  It is nice to be away from Kansas and work.  Everyone should treat birthdays as personal holidays and stay the hell away from work.
