sometimes i feel like it's all been done

ok, so the beginning of a blog is supposed to be super exciting to draw people in, right?  interesting, how we have begun a practice that requires us to win over complete strangers just so that they find us worthwhile enough to learn more about, right?  well move on now complete strangers - you will not only find me unwittingly thoughtless, but also completely full of rants and trendy sub-topics.  ranging from over-your-head-in-an-under-current depth to the absolute nothingness of life... get ready folks, it's gonna be a gosh-darn bumpy ride!

alright, so here's the DL (thank you 90's throwback slang, you win again!)...  i am 27, married (to the love of my life!), and as so many have recently reminded me, on the cusp of adulthood.  not really though.  i mean, yes to the first two things, but i kinda refuse the third.  look kids, enjoy your youth, cuz the second you say goodbye to your 25th birthday (and i mean that same day yo!) everyone in your life will start to ask these 2 life-defining questions:

1) Oh honey (or dude, depending on your gender/socially acceptable terms of endearment), when ARE you getting married?
now it's important for you to know, that this question will be asked, regardless of whether or not you are dating someone.  it is a force of nature, something happens to adults at a certain age and they feel absolutely compelled to ask this question.  it's not their fault, it just happens.

the next usually applies after gettin hitched, but you can never be too prepared, so get your arsenal of excuses ready!
2) Well for goodness sake, when are you two lovebirds going to have some little babies?
this is a biggie, so don't be caught unprepared! you may be destined to be the infamous DINKS (double income no kids) or you may have a bundle of joy currently waitin in the womb, but either way, you gotta have somethin to say.  any stuttering or a stammering response is a sign or weakness and can be used against you, so prepare, prepare, prepare!

ok, so enough doom and gloom for tonight... are you ready for your launch into my adulthood? good luck folks, we're both gonna need it!
