Law Music

changing brackets

I haven’t been particularly excited about leaving marketers’ “most coveted age bracket” (although this guy thinks the boomers are changing that).  I like knowing companies spend millions of dollars trying to figure out how to please me and how to catch my attention.  It’s like dating a Rockefeller.

But not any more.  Tomorrow I hit 35.  No longer lumped with the 20-somethings.  No longer able to tell people “early 30s.”

So, I’ve been trying to curb the effects of aging by refusing to act my age.

How?

Per these clips discovered by local law enforcement on an abandoned iphone in Buckhead, I’ve been encouraging fellow distinguished members of the GA bar to engage in strange behavior involving poles and microphones:

Make that “formerly distinguished.”

I found signs of abuse the next day on my legs and back:  indicia that this activity was not without danger:

If ever there were iron clad proof that this behavior was not voluntary, this is decidedly it.  Awful:

I like how the dude in the glasses doesn’t even know where the screen showing the lyrics is.  It’s like he’s channeling Bret Michaels:

And if ever there were evidence of crossing into the “mid 30s,” it’s breaking out the Biz Markie:

I’m hoping to leave the office at lunchtime to do something I didn’t do a single time during my 34th year:  go to the movie theater.  I’ve missed it.

Hell, maybe I’ll get a senior discount.

  1. That Muskrat is so hot right now.

  2. As a marketer, let me tell you that you’re still plenty coveted. Baby boomers are in hock. Gen X ain’t.

    Of course, the Muskrat may be coveted for other reasons, but I suspect they’re personal.

  3. Happy Birthday, Padre. Enjoy old age.

  4. You’re a fun boy! Happy Birthday! When you get older, the brackets get longer. I keep waiting to move into the next age bracket for races so I can put the hurt on the old [er] gals. They keep moving it back.

    Keep singing, and pole dancing. That’ll keep you young. Have a great day with your gorgeous family!

  5. Now you can call those of us in the better age bracket “whippersnappers”.

  6. 34 is officially mid-30’s, so you’ve been living a lie for the past year. You can atone by telling everyone you’re in your late 30’s for the next year, or by giving me bunny.

  7. Remember when we used to get bruises from wild sex?

  8. Crap, now I’m depressed that this is my last year as a “young person.” Although I already failed because I had to search to find what channel MTV was last night. Happy birthday.

  10. Pretty Bride

    I still covet you. Even though I know where you keep all your wrinkly bits.

  11. I will hate when I have to check the box 35-old, for now I can still say I’m somewhere between 25-34! YES!

  12. Happy Birthday!

  13. Happy belated birthday….I would write more but I’m pretty delirious right now…3rd shift FTW.

  14. I don’t know how much alcohol was involved but I’m guessing it was a *LOT*.

    Did you get any tips stuffed in your…whatever…for pole dancing?

  15. You’re still just a baby Muskrat. A baby with a propensity to sing Wild Thing in public.

  16. Mourning for going into the 35 year old bracket! Give me a break! What till you hit the half century spot – then I’ll have some sympathy.

    How’s the baby? How’s PB?

    • @crazymomtats, I don’t plan to be around that long. They’re doing well…she’s more high maintenance than the others were, but she does sleep better at night, which is KEY. Thanks for asking–hope you’re well!

  17. I’m kind of turned on right now after seeing you work that pole.
