Thirty: the Birth

Today is September 13th. In less than a month, I will be turning 30 years old. Like most people who get bored with the pornography on the internet, I've decided to start a blog about the experience of being in my 30's.

This will not be just some whiny blog about the aches and pains of my old body or the would-have should-haves of my life, oh no. In addition to the observation of life through my special 30 goggles, I will be challenging myself with quests that will (hopefully) confront the meaning of my life and entertain me in my downtime. These challenges will be personal (30 consecutive days of no high fructose corn syrup), social (30 straight days of actually supporting a cause), professional (30 days of doing something professional), etc... As the years go by, my challenge time will change by one day. Hopefully I will change as well.

I want this to be a memorable decade. I want you to join me. I also want to see how fast I get tired of writing the number 30.

So I'll pick this up when I've actually turned the magic age. In the meantime, I'm using this post as a place holder. See you soon!

My name is Matt. I live in Michigan. I have a wife, a dog, and two rats. In less than a month, I will be turning 30.
