Joining the 27 Club

[hepcat]

Today I am 27.  As a musician, being 27 is easily the most dangerous year.  If I don't make it out, be sure to buy my album.  Thanks!

Just don't celebrate your birthday with a a handful of coke and you should be good to go

Nothing says happy birthday like 27 lines of coke.

I turned 27-&-a-half 3 days ago.  The first half was thrilling.

Don't listen to this guy.  Do two handfuls of coke.  You're 27 and you are invincible.

Never understood the 27 thing. The premise of to be remembered forever as a young person etc. But a little after 30 is when things go downhill in many aspects.

​I hope I die before I get old

It's hard to sound morbid, but I do as well. But I'd rather say I want to go before serious health complications affect my quality of life. I don't want to live 50-65/70 with an awful illness. That's in part why I take such good care of myself, but that does guarantee anything. No need to worry about such things though lol. You're 27, happy birthday!, and I'm 29. We've got at least 20 years or good life left given we're smart about our choices. 'Getting old' is a state of mind.

I hear ya man.  It's not that I don't enjoy life and want it to end - far from it.  But I have seen what "Assisted Living" homes look like.  What people look like at the end of their lives...shitting themselves, unable to feed themselves, don't even know where they are anymore, family doesn't care or come see you.  It's awful.  It's dehumanizing.  And it's a huge corporate scam now - squeezing out what little money pharmaceutical and insurance companies can get out of old people at the end of their lives.

Spoiler alert: 30s are so much better than 20s. Not even close.

​40s aren't as bad as people think, either. i mean you ache a little more, but you've also learned how to enjoy more of just life happening. it's just a shame that it speeds up so much.

life ain't over when you get older. life is over when you quit living. that happens when you make the mistake of saying "this is as good as it's ever going to get." that's a lie. you make it what it is.

I've got long underwear older than all of you.    Actually they are tights that my ex wife left behind - bless her heart.  I put them on to show off my hot old man physique - they do a great  job of covering the stretch marks. scars.  incipient cellulite. and show off my package to great advantage.

Are you shaving yet?
