Age 14!

My first cousin, Jacques Philip (AKA JP), turned 14 today. I can't believe the passing of time. He wasn't even born yet when I moved to the U.S.!

Age 14 was such a great time! Wait - did I just type that? When I was a kid and older people would say stuff like "you're 14? Great age! Have fun while you can...", it used to depress the youth out of me. Now I am saying it. I hope JP is not reading this because it might depress him. If you are reading this, JP, Happy Birthday, and know that 14 is NOT the best age...trust me! There's a lot to look forward to beyond age 14...like, age 15, for example.

  • Oh man, 14? Sky is the limit. All uphill from there. 15 is a rip off because you still can't drive, but get a learner's permit. 16 you can drive, that's cool.

    17 is another gip - you get nothing except R-rated movies (which you've snunk into for years.)

    At 18 you can vote, by cigarettes and go to war. Cool. 19-20 you get nothing.

    21 you can legally drink and not fear getting your fake I.D. snatched at a bar - even though you spend the first few months thinking your real I.D. is still fake.

    The rest of your twenties are fun. The best decade there is. Drinking, college, first career gig, a few dollars in your pocket, little responsiblity, energy to still go out every night to party, etc. Relationships, flings and good times.

    Thirties suck. End of story.
