Well, I missed August.
I'm in the midst of 4 straight days at work, which might not sound like much, but I've been knee deep in poo for these first few days. Not a fan of poo.
I turn 30 on Wednesday, what an oddly appropriate day to turn 30. I feel a bit like I'm reaching what looks like a plateau, only to be faced with more climbing. I can't say I'm where I want to be. But that's not saying much seeing how I've spent a good portion of my life in a sort of limbo as to the direction of my life. In so many ways, being laid-back is good, but I seem to lack that needed self-kick-in-the-pants that more "successful" people have.
Treading water in the middle of a calm lake is the image that just came to my head. I've been staying afloat just fine, but I need to get to shore soon because I'm tired and it looks like clouds are forming.
I suppose this isn't the normal stuff I would share here, despite being serious from time to time. It is, after all 330 in the morning, and I'm tired. There's a clarity that comes from being tired I think.

seriously? you turn 30? i remember when it was your 20th!!! and i had just barely missed it. have a good birthday mon amie! and as for the rest, well, you do what you need to do. i personally think you've probably never been in a better place, so give yourself some credit. you guys will figure everything out..
Knee deep in poo, huh? Sounds like a whole lot of fun.
Happy early birthday, Joe! You should come to Vegas to celebrate!!
Bon anniversaire, mon ami. Sorry, your gift isn't even sent out yet. I have picked up this terrible habit lately in being late sending things off. Hope it was good day for you.
Don't worry about not being where you thought you would be at this point. I don't think anybody is. You have a gorgeous and wonderful wife and the cutest kid in the world, so I'd say that's all you really need. =)
I love you, handsome.... It WILL get better. I'm working on it, too...
Its funny, but I can totally identify with your statement. I don't think we're the only ones out there feeling this way...We are just leaving behind the 20's (which I feel are the dumbest years of a persons life) and moving into uncharted water of being real grown-ups with kids and jobs, and the real responsiblity sinks in. :) I think we'll find out its worth the struggle. :) Happy Belated birthday Joe! Cheers!
