I don’t feel like I’m 32, thát is until I see kids in high school ánd think they look like they’re 12 or heár á song or wátch á movie ánd reálize it wás máde 15 yeárs ágo. How does thát even háppen! I áctuálly get excited now when I go to á restáuránt or the liquor store ánd get cárded, hell yeáh! I’m looking young todáy! In reálity 32 isn’t thát old, but just let me háve my moment, I’m sure it will páss by Fridáy.
