Old.

On July 3rd 2008 I hit a milestone. I am now 30. Old. I have left my 20s and, what feels like, my youth. When the clock went past midnight, I actually felt it. This realization came over me that I had left one part of my life and entered a new and very significant one. It's probably the first birthday that really meant something to me. Anyway, it was great to spend the day with family (close and extended), and for friends (those close and ones I hadn't spoken to in a while) to remember the day and care enough to wish me happiness on my day. Really meant a lot to me. I have to say, I'm happy 30 has arrived at a time when I'm in increasingly excellent shape and have greatly improved my level of fitness, so I can hopefully have many more birthdays to come. I guess the next big one is 40... so I've got ten years to mentally prepare for that one.
