I prefer that money be used for housing. People are mad the games are cancelled but how much angrier would people be if he wasted 6-7 billion for 12 days of athletics.

Today I am 32. I am properly in my 30’s now and still have no idea what I’m doing with my life!!! But it’s okay because I’m eating cake for breakfast.

OH! OH I know this one! You’re going to physio a LOT more and actually paying attention when they give you exercises instead of your 20s where you just stuck the paper to the fridge and didnt do anything with them.

Happy Birthday.

I just wish I had taken up yoga a lot sooner - at least now when I throw my back out the recovery isn’t nearly as long as it was when I was in my 20s and barely able to get off the ground because I never lifted with my legs.

Yeah I was in an accident as a kid I never totally recovered from. Like not horrific or anything, but just seemed to set things in motion. That and I’m an IT guy/gamer. A lot of sitting down.

Also hangovers hurt now.

Oh you think you know hangovers from your drunken 20’s? You’re a toddler on a trike saying you’ve been in a motorbike accident

There’s something about this age where I think it’s perfectly normal to think that…saying from experience. I’m six years removed from this very birthdate and still have no idea what I’m doing with my life but the current is taking me where it wants and I’m slowly but surely getting comfortable with that idea. I might snag a branch or two along the way and see if I can steer the course but it’s all flowing downwards anyway. Happy birthday, though. And I hope you enjoyed that cake!

Happy birthday! I don’t think anyone ever fully has any idea of what they’re doing with their life. Cake for breaky is a pretty good starting point though 🎉

You’re now old enough to know better, but young enough to recover if you don’t.

Good times.

Also, I have no idea what I’m doing with my life either. I’m trying to just get through each day. That’s all we can do.

Lizzo was amazing again ❤️ I struggled with the fact that a lot of the people in my section just did not stand up! It’s Lizzo, it’s dance music, you gotta stand, dance, and enjoy…so I did. Lol. I did sit more for this one then Mondays concert though. Is this standard for concerts? Because for both Lorde and Harry, we stood the entire time.

I think it depends from artist to artist. If I had to generalise - the older the crowd, the more likely people in the seats are going to sit for the entire concert. Lorde and Harry would attract a younger crowd, Lizzo an older crowd. I don’t understand how people can sit through a pop/dance/rock/upbeat music concert and so I’ll typically get GA tickets.

True, it could definitely be that, noticed a lot of parents with children, both young children and adult children that perhaps would prefer to sit. Thankfully the stands are tiered so no one other than the people beside me are standing at my level behind me (and I’m shortish) so I don’t think I obstructed too many peoples views or at least I hope not.

Sometimes ppl purchase seated tickets cos they can’t stand for a period of time (disability/ fatigue/ chronic health issues/ sore feets from working all day…). If you wanna do more than dance/ enjoy while seated, select GA tix?

That is true, I hadn’t considered that side of things. I would’ve got GA but they sold out before I could. And I chose still have a seat because whilst I wanted to stand and dance during the concert, I didn’t love the idea of being sandwiched between a bunch of people as I overheat easily and struggle to regulate my temperature. It was just interesting observing the differences in even just the seated areas of crowds. Some sections were all standing and others weren’t.

The man is watching Enter The Dragon. The way he sits there like he hasn’t watched it 20 times is pretty impressive.
