i didn’t like these commercials anyway

A few months ago, I started seeing this commercial on TV about Yaz, this new birth control method. Since I don’t really see any need in investing in birth control, I was nothing but irritated with the commercial. So much so, that anytime it came on, I just changed the channels. Oh, it was that bad. And recently, they started airing these new commercials about a yaz lawsuit, that clearly happened because they weren’t disclosing all of the side effects when people too the medication. Yes, of course, I feel horrible for the people that had side effects they weren’t expecting. But I can’t help but laugh every single time I see the same lady in these commercials talking about all the nasty side effects that can happen when you use YAZ in a 30 second commercial spot, considering she was the same lady that was in the commercials telling everyone to take Yaz, because it was so easy and so simple and blah blah blah. It makes me laugh. And that’s probably wrong.

i’m 32 today!

Here’s a picture of me, exactly 31 years ago today:

Man, I was cute, huh? Even cuter? The gigantic metal high chair likely coated with led and my dad’s cigarette hanging out of his mouth. Don’t say anything bad about it either, because in 1979, that was completely okay.

I need to tell you kids in your mid-20s something. You’re going to like your thirties. When I was 25, I did not like the idea of turning the big 3-0, and, boy, was that dumb. My thirties have been filled with things that have truly helped me discover who I am and where I belong (in more than just a physical sense!) and you don’t really get that in your twenties.

And looking forward, I’m even more excited. More growth! More opportunities! 40 seems daunting right now, but at this rate, I’m pretty sure life just gets better and better. I’m assuming my cause of death will be because my body explodes from so much awesome.
