The Sentient Search Engine

To commemorate my 25th Birthday, I thought I’d throw together a list of those things that are making me feel prematurely ancient these days (with commentary). Enjoy!

1. Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone: Tenth Anniversary Edition - Tenth What??!
2. My best friend’s “little” sister graduating from college. - This one had me looking for my sensible shoes. Congrats Carrie!
3. Eight seasons of American Idol – Dude, like, this totally feels like too many to be true, Dawg! Dreadful! Appalling! (I tried to do Paula, but I can’t sound properly unintelligible in print.)
4. Teen Culture – I used to try to be current. I at least knew what was popular. Now I just fake it.
5. Transformers, G.I. Joe, Ninja Turtles, Star Trek, and other childhood memories being “rebooted” so they are “cooler” – sigh…
6. I actually uttered the words “damn kids” recently. – Heavy sigh…
7. Any time I’m at work and a young customer looks at me like I’m from another planet (daily occurrence)… – Damn Kids…

Okay, seven items is enough. Anymore and I’ll become suicidal. Well, Happy Birthday to me I suppose… I’m going to go talk to my parents now. Maybe it’ll make me feel better…
