George Carlin

In honor of George Carlin's passing I considered one of his most famous monologues about aging. It pertains to this blog specifically...

"How old are you?" "I'm gonna be 16!" You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life . . . you become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony . . YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!!
But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk! He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're Just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed?
You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40. Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50 and your dreams are gone. "

Maybe Carlin had it right 30 makes us turn whether it's turning old, turning out of date, turning bad, turning sour, turning bitter... The list could go on BUT IT WON'T!!

How about some good turns? I think I will

• Turn over a new leaf
• Turn someone on
• Turn heads
• Turn left for a new direction
• Turn the world around
• Turn into a complete women
• Turn into the love of his life

What will Turning 30 turn you into??
