Broke Up the Time and Put the Pieces in a Different Order

[roadrunnertwice]

I'm in the middle of this MusicFestNW shit, where I'm going to at least one concert every day Wednesday through... probably Sunday. It is nice! It's been way too long since I've been in the habit of going to tons of shows. (I used to! Back in Minneapolis I was always going out to hear some music, come hell, high water, snowstorms, snowstorms plus dudes riding around in trucks shooting paintballs at people, or 5:20am opening shifts at the bakery.)

Anyway, what with all the staying-out-late-on-a-work-night shenanigans, something occurred to me the other day: at 29, I think I feel younger than I did at 20. It's a little harder for me to get up early in the morning than it was, but that may well just be practice. Other than that, I'm stronger and faster and tougher, my back and neck seem to be in much better shape despite having a desk job, I don't have any RSI-ish twinges in the wrists anymore (ditto previous), and I think I'm a lot prettier, too. Hell, I even get sick only like a quarter as often as I used to.

I don't have a good way to end this post, but damn, that was an interesting thing to realize. Is this normal these days, or what?

I am loving the hell out of my late twenties and am so looking forward to my thirties. The impending arthritis feeling in my hands is gone, the only pains are the ones well earned a decade ago that never get worse if I do my damned stretches.

But yeah, hotter, faster, stronger. You could not pay me to be 25 and under again.

This socialising thing! Going out! It is so weird to get back into the habit of it.
