Old Age is Just Around the Bend, I Can't Wait to Be Gray
Congratulations to Ms. Katy Marr for correctly naming "Gone for Good" by the Shins as the Monday Song of the Day.
Well, as Katy alluded, today is, in fact, my 23rd birthday. I'm not sure what it is about twenty-three but some recording artists apparently think it is troublesome age. Just look at these lyrics
- "Nobody likes you when you're 23 and you still act like you're in Freshman year." "What's My Age Again?" by Blink-182.
- "I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24? The way things is going I don't know." "Gangster's Paradise" by Coolio.
I'm pretty sure that I'm not going to allow the poetic genius of Mark Hoppus or Coolio determine too much of my outlook on what it means to be 23, but when you hear songs about your age, I guess you want to find something just a bit more positive.
Well, at least I got a suitcase from my parents. Nothing like a little luggage to brighten your day.

There's also:
"I recall when I was 23, wondering how anyone could fall in love with me." — "Streets of Where I'm From," Old 97's
and
"23, I'm so tired of life, such a shame to throw it all away." — "Dancing Nancies," Dave Matthews Band
It's a pretty rough age, songwise. But an interesting one. Trust me.
Hey, you asked for that luggage! Mom
Happy birthday! Pretend that I wrote this a few days ago :)
