Mid-Twenties, T-Shirts, and Food-Art
Thanks to all of those who recently helped celebrate my birthday. Supposedly turning twenty-six isn’t a very interesting birthday because your life doesn’t really change much with no significant milestones. Somehow I have found myself in the middle of a mid-twenties crisis.
I’ve been accused of entering my late-twenties prematurely by close sources. (Guess: It’s neither me nor the mysterious man in leather pictured to your left.) I submit the following age demographic breakdown of the twenty-somethings for your consideration.
- 20-23 = Early Twenties
- 24-26* = Mid Twenties (I’d also be open to considering 23.5 - 27.5)
- 27-29 = Late Twenties
Feel free to share your prejudice in the comments.
T-Shirt Adventures
With that reality nicely dealt with I’d like to share a quick tale of my birthday celebration. As you may have noticed in the photo above, Nadine and I are wearing similarly heart-themed t-shirts. They are in fact the 8-bit dynamic life shirt from ThinkGeek.com. When near another shirt all six of your hearts light up, when apart only two and a half.
This novelty has not worn off all-day and has garnered us attention at work and abroad including numerous potential workplace harassment incidents due to intrigue (inappropriate touching and the like)! I’ll keep you apprised as the cases develop.
Flower in Sauce
The art you see on your right is my latest food-art creation Flower in Sauce. I laboured over its creation after a delicious sushi-lunch. Its medium is remnant chicken skewer sauce, and was painted with a single chopstick. Some have relegated it to the lower class of “handy-work” rather than “art”. This piece us that while sushi is certainly delicious it is not without its thorns. (Some side effects have included: mysterious sushi regret and full-belly)
Art? Handy-work? Certainly Art.
One response so far




You should update more, otherwise you are letting me put you to regular blog update shame.
P.S.
26 is not old, nor is it “late-twenties”. It is most certainly still “mid-twenties”.
Debate over.
