mmm not necessarily, shanking biker is definitely of a differing musical genre then the Jay-Z. I believe he may come from a, ska, reggae, punk inspired set of listening preferences.

You do notice a drop in metabolism but aside from that, life is good. My knees have been hurting for years thanks to a stupid snowboarding stunt; that's also why I concentrate on bicycling rather than running/snowboarding/etc. I still date "just out of college" girls. The single women I know are desperate to find men 30 years or older (we're considered mature/stable by their standards) to date and marry. Plus, you have more expendable income and can wear a suit/tux to a formal party and look the part.

As to my beverage of choice: either a brandy old-fashioned sweet (have to be from Wisconsin and be polish to understand) or Newcastle/Smithwicks.

At 30 I had my first professional MMA fight in Japan, ran my first half marathon, and began biking seriously.
My girlfriend is 5 years younger than I am and is wonderfull, and I am in better shape and happier now that I am 31 than ever before in my life. I feel like I am only just starting to understand what life is all about, and I feel more enrgized and aware than ever before.
A healthy human should live in prime health for about 120 years, then rapidly decline and die.
we arent numbers, after all....

Ahh yes, thats it.
26??---Enjoy your last 4 years of youth---life sucks when you hit 30. Its like hitting a brick wall or something. You instantly become "old." Knees start to hurt. College girls start looking like jailbait; all the single women your age are divorced or have kids or have things you don't want------not a pretty picture.

If your knees are hurting you need to look at how you're training. Train smarter and you'll be able to ride harder.

Big usually means bad.
Everybody has heard of Budweiser and it sucks. Get yourself some Founders.

Kind of. But I do remember how excited I was when you could get A&W rootbeer in a store. And I remember when they came up with "new coke" and got rid of the old formula until the nation rebelled.

By 25 you have nothing figured out---I mean total cluelessness---but you have no awareness of this fact.
By 35 you become aware of the fact that you have nothing figured out, but have no remedy for the situation.
(knowing is still a big plus)
By 45, you have begun to figure it out, but now you are almost halfway through life, and some of the things you have figured out don't matter as much as they used to.
By 55, you buy a really fast red something and get a girl at least half our age. Bingo...you are clueless again.
By 65, you have it mostly figured out, and things start to matter again---the things that you abandoned in your mid-life crisis.
By 75 (congrats for making it this far), you really don't give a damn what anyone thinks. You are free.
By 85, you are surprised/happy to be here.
By 95, you have forgotten most of what you learned---the things that brought you so much pain and angst--, yet you have retained all that is important to you. Bliss.
Growing old ain't so bad when you think about it.

Remember when like Michael Jackson made that video where he jumped on the car, grabbed his crotch and broke out all the windows?----that rocked
Remember when your mother grounded you for watching the video of "I touch myself" on MTV but then you snuck out of your bedroom at night and stuck a fork in the cable box to watch soft porn on showtime??

If you DO drink Zima, you aren't old enough.
