30 Down ??? To Go.

I was not planning on writing any notes or blogs today but when facebook points out that I am no longer in my 20s and am still single...I tend to find that a little personal. Upon logging in today, I found new advertisements reminding me that I am no longer in my 20s. "Happy Birthday from Facebook, Xavier. Take a look at these websites, here you can meet women or men that are between the ages of 30 and 39. The love of your life is just one click away! They even offered a website called "Professional Singles USA" or something like that. Why would I want to date a "professional single"? Those two words should not ever be used back to back. By the way, what is a "professional single"? That sounds pretty bad to me and I don't want to be affiliated with any "professional single" Sounds like all the dating websites sorted through their membership databank, found the oldest members, and tossed them into this new databank, and created a website which should read, "Single For Time and All Eternity or Till Death."

How about this ad, "Click hear to purchase music that will being back nostalgic memories from your childhood. We have the greatest hits from the 70's and 80s. Do you remember where you were the first time Michael Jackson did the Moonwalk on live television? With these classic hits you will be taken back to that historic moment in pop and r&b history."

Great thanks for pointing out the facts that I am 30, single, and was alive in the last decades of great original music and to answer your question, yes, I do remember where I was when Michael Jackson showed the world the Moonwalk on live television. Not that I am complaining, I love oldies. The music today is nothing but crap. Everything sounds the same. I was recently reminded of my age when some co-workers and I watched Karate Kid 1 and 2. I stated, "Man I remember watching that movie in theaters." Then I realized that the year that those movies came out, was the year that some of my co-workers were born. Again I am not complaining.

"Xavier your half way to 60!" is that the best you can do. How about this and I have to give credit to my father for this one. "I can count higher than that, how about this one? In one thousand years, I will be 1030. How bout them apples?"

With all that said, Sorry facebook, I beat you to the punch. I don't need your 30s+ singles website. I have ldssingles.com....not that I ever use it and I have a plethora of 80's music plus another 10 cds worth of 80s music that a family member has.

Maybe in another 30 years I'll write another note and talk about the "good old days when cars ran on gas and oil instead of electricity or alcohol, and good music was Paul Simon, Michael Jackson, and Paula Abdul, and good video games were Bomberman, Pac-man, Frogger, and Dig-Dug I'll reminisce and mope about all this while sitting on my porch sipping lemonade listening to a band known as Led Zeppelin sing about a "Stairway To Heaven" on an old portable cd player while giving the bird and fist of fury to the "young whippersnappers" speeding down the street in their automobiles and motorcycles.
