Everyone gets excited to turn 21 right? I mean we are finally becoming our own adult and can legally buy alcohol. So time to throw out all those fake ID's and get ready... kidding about the fake ID's Y'all shouldn't be having those they are dangerous. I mean we were all technically adults at 18, but many of us don't believe it until we can buy ourselves some shots.

I will most likely be like everyone else on my 21st and get completely wasted. Nothing wrong with having some fun, it will be my birthday and I have some catching up to do. I am excited to finally not be the young one anymore, I mean yes I'm still young but now I can actually go into bars, casinos, Vegas!

I am already counting down the days for Cinco De Mayo because Mexican food and margaritas... enough said!!

I am excited to actually be able to go to breweries and try different kinds of beer or go wine tasting. Or do a freaking paint and sip, not that I can paint so I hope there are numbers, although I will be doing a lot of sipping so let's hope I can read the numbers.

I am looking forward to actually being able to go out and have a drink with friends, or with my family.

I now know what I will buy everyone for their birthday since I will be able to purchase it.

Honestly, I'm super excited to be able to get my pistol permit and buy myself a handgun.


Because of federal law, I'm lucky I can buy any guns starting at the age of 18, which I understand it's a big deal. I am so ready though.

Turning 21 means so many different things to different people. I am also super scared I guess because adulting is already hard enough now I feel like I'm just getting older and will be even more tired. I am going to need to watch my money spending more than I already do especially since I will be able to buy alcohol. I'm not going to be one of those crazy 21-year-olds I will keep my cool, and be responsible with all of my actions while having fun and being safe.

I am just so ready to have fun, keep an eye out for the night of the 21st coming soon... hopefully

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
