On turning 30

I will be turning 30 this year. Yep... the big Three O

I really don't know what to expect in being 30 or going into my 30s. Have I achieved and done enough? Personally, I think so. Except for my career which is going no where. I have The Company to blame .... seriously. hehe. Other than that, I think I've pretty much covered everything that I need.

I received a comforting e-mail from a friend. I'm sure some of you have seen this article before.
An article from somebody called Andy Rooney from CBS 60 Minutes.

Andy Rooney says:
As I grow in age, I value women who are over 30 most of all. Here are just
a few reasons why:
A woman over 30 will never wake you in the middle of the night to ask,
"What are you thinking?" She doesn't care what you think. If a woman over
30 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it.
She does something she wants to do. And, it's usually something more
interesting.
A woman over 30 knows herself well enough to be assured in who she is, what
she is, what she wants and from whom. Few women past the age of 30 give a
hoot what you might think about her or what she's doing.
Women over 30 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at
the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you
deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you, if they think they can get
away with it.
Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's
like to be unappreciated.
A woman over 30 has the self-assurance to introduce you to her women
friends. A younger woman with a man will often ignore even her best friend
because she doesn't trust the guy with other women. Women over 30 couldn't
care less if you're attracted to her friends because she knows her friends
won't betray her.
Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a
woman over 30. They always know.
A woman over 30 looks good wearing bright red lipstick. This is not true of
younger women. Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 30 is far
sexier than her younger counterpart. Older women are forthright and honest.
They'll tell you right off if you are a jerk or if you are acting like one!
You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her.
Yes, we praise women over 30 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately,
it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed hot woman of
30+, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of
himself with some 22-year-old waitress.
Ladies, I apologize. For all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you
can get the milk for free". Here's an up date for you. Nowadays 80% of
women are against marriage, why? Because women realize it's not worth
buying an entire pig, just to get a little sausage.

I look forward to being 30 :D
