My Mid-Life Crisis

Yeah, I'm getting there...

Tomorrow is a scary day.

BTW before I start, I have no plan with today’s newsletter, so we’ll see where it goes.

That’s how you know this isn’t AI written.

Last week if I tried to tell AI to write my newsletter about how Drake Maye is God and the Patriots will win the Super Bowl, it would’ve rejected me and told me to shut up.

I promise I didn't give a speech on a party bus to the Pats Jets TNF last week...

I digress.

Why is tomorrow scary?

Well, I turn the old age of 29 (will take note of everyone who doesn’t reply to this email saying happy birthday and I will keep that in mind when your big day rolls around).

Yeah, that’s right Mom, I said it… OLD.

I’ve hated birthdays ever since I turned 26. Before that, they were always fun.

Although, you know what’s saving me from a mid-life crisis? Being in my (winter) happy place of Marco Island, FL this weekend to celebrate.

Wait a minute, I have already turned into a snowbird at 29 years old! WHAT AM I BECOMING!!!

But hard to pass up on this weather…

That Bud Light can on the right is ELITE. Need to bring those back

The mid-life crisis happens Monday when I’m back from this heavenly tropical fairy land.

Now let’s dissect what a “mid-life crisis” really is…

Everyone acts like it’s some scary, inevitable spiral of bad decisions and regret, like I alluded to above.

But you know, f*** that sh*t!!!

It’s really just a wake-up call. A reminder that maybe you want to go chase bigger goals, spend more time doing the things that actually excite you, and stop sweating the small stuff.

It’s not about freaking out.

Yeah, maybe you have back pain that makes it hard to even walk around sometimes and keeps you from playing your only love in life, golf.

But you’ll get over that (maybe a few surgeries later 🤞🤞). Go enjoy yourself as you tap into that next phase in life.

So sure, call it a “mid-life crisis” if you want, but I’m calling it “my pre-30 LFG moment.”

So, when your next big day rolls around, don’t freak out. You’re only getting wiser and better looking.

Now let’s play a game, will I fit more or less dudes on this boat this weekend in Florida?

Reply with your answers (and a happy birthday message)!

And yeah, we lost a prop that day on the far left there. Who was running the ship?!?!?!
