As you may or may not already know, yesterday was my birthday. Subsequently, I’m writing the obligatory “taking stock of my life” post.

You see, now I’ve reached the grand old age of 28, I started to think that maybe there’s more to life than just drinking tea and beer? I mean, obviously I do other stuff as well, like go to work and eat dinner and all that. It’s just that if I were to die right now, and have my life flash before my eyes, I can’t help but think there would be a hell of a lot of tea and beer drinking to watch.

In fact, one could probably be forgiven for thinking that is wasn’t my life flashing before their eyes at all, but some random commercial break which just happened to be broadcast in their penultimate moments. It’s a scary thought.

So what does this mean for yours truly? A change of beverage perhaps? Well, no. That’s no really the point (although I can see why you might think that. I don’t blame you, it’s my fault really). The point is; maybe it’s time I grew up and did something with my life? Maybe it’s time I started acting my age?

The problem here being, acting my age is a lot more difficult that it sounds. You see, I have no idea what 28 year olds are supposed to act like. In fact I’ve been pretty much stumped since the age of 25. I have, therefore, been acting like a 25 year old ever since, and will probably continue to do so until I figure out exactly how I should be behaving. This may not sound like an issue now, but I can only assume it’s going to get worse the older I get.

And so, my birthday resolution is this; work out how 28 year olds are supposed to act, follow suit and, while I’m at it, achieve something meaningful with my life. Oh, and maybe lay off the tea and beer.
