I’m not sure yet, I don’t even really feel 21 years old. After 16 it never really feels like your birthday anymore, you just feel like you’re getting older. That might be due to the fact that there really is no more birthday parties. Just parties where your friends come over and you act like complete jackasses until 7am and then wake up at 12:30pm the next day, dust yourself off, and head out for breakfast at IHOP sunday “morning” while everyone is coming back from church.
The dirty looks you receive walking down the stairs add to that great feeling some call “nostalgia”. Pissing off the exact type of person that made me want to leave Utah in the first place, just made me want to come back that much more.
I really can’t wait to move back out here and do this on a regular basis.

George! you crack me the heck up. (As I’m sure you’ve heard before.) I just thought I’d leave an ego booster for you. Have a lovely day!

George, I think you’re looking for people to judge you.

Nice pics. But you better take the one of me down, or you die. That has to be the worse picture ever taken of me.

Nice digs.

Crap. You’ve evolved. Don’t they know what they’re doing when they LET you have your own website? I’m going to hide now. Under a table.
Happy Birthday Ass-hat! Come have a drink with us!

Like the new digs
Happy birthday! Welcome to the wonderful world of (legal) drinking!

Drinking is overrated, IHOP on the other hand, well hangover IHOP breakfasts are a right of passage in most cultures.
Happy (belated) Birthday George.

Nothing, I repeat NOTHING cures a hangover like IHOP. It’s the perfect combination of greasy meat fat and chubby carb-filled pancakes, and it soothes the soul (and liver). I wish you a most happy (and most belated) birthday, George.
P.S. - 24 is the greatest. show. ever.

I came upon your sight through about two others-good reads. You’re right about birthdays after 16. I’ll be 33 in a week and I still get disappointed that there isn’t some huge surprise (or not) party celebrating my birth. And presents. Don’t forget the presents. Happy 21st.

happy birthday! mine is 2 days after yours!

George, you’re right. From 21 onwards you’re just getting older…and it’s all downhill from there. I’m 27 in 10 days and I’m almost inconsolable. People shall address me as ‘twenty-ish’ thankyouverymuch.
But on the plus side G, now is the time to really start living! And with your cousin, that shouldn’t be hard to learn
hehe

Holy sh-t. I just looked at that pic again. I was wondering why the hell you had a picture of my husband on your website.
I’m skerd.
