Last Sunday was my twenty-third birthday, but my quarter-life crisis began on Friday (8/1) and ended on Monday (8/4). When my mini-crisis began I began to panic that I was getting old and needed to find a way to capture my youthfulness before it escaped me. Due to this mini crisis I wore a shirt and tie to jeans/casual Friday at work and drove my dad’s ’72 Chevelle SS all day long. I figured that if I dressed like an older guy and drove an older car, I would feel younger…but it didn’t work.
The next day (Saturday) was even worse as I found myself at the Lexus dealership making negotiations to lease a grownup-esque, new, beautiful green Lexus LS460 with sand colored interior and a 19 speaker Mark Levinson sound system to make my heart jump out of my chest and do a little jig on the dashboard. I was able to negotiate the price of the lease to over $500 less than the originally proposed amount and I had a pretty sweet deal on my hands, but just as I was ready to sign the papers my mind yelled out “what are you doing?!?”
Really… what was I doing?
I snapped out of the quarter-life crisis pretty quickly and got right back into the swing of things. More information about my escapades, ventures and happenings to follow in the near future.
Happy Belated Birthday to ME!
