Happy Birthday Big Gabey!

My Brothers(L to R: "Just" Drew Gibbs, Me, and EJ "2 sweet" Gibbs)

Well today is my BIRTHDAY!! I have gotten some of the most unexpected age guesses. I asked co workers to guess my age or how old would they think I was if they didnt already know my age. And let me tell you, the one age guess you dont want is the guess thats actually younger than what you are. You know, the age that you criticize your friends of being. Saying things like "Ha ha your only 23? I remember that age your still young" or "You only 22, you not getting old" Things like that!
Well today I got that age guessed on me and I was shocked! I said "Wow do I really look that young?" I thought atleast my beard and facial hair alone was 23 years old LOL.

There were a few shocking age guesses. I told a few of my Supervisors and Bosses when asked, that I was 30. They went for it too! Can you believe that? I mean do I look 30 years old? Not that 30 is even considered "Old", but its older than me! by 5 years. And by the way at age 30 I have planned to be working in a Hospital performing and assisting with a heart surgery. So Im glad that was just a Joke!.
I was guessed by other staff of ages 25, 28 and 29, so my average age in this office is 25+28+29+30 and The most shockin 23!= 135 Divided by 5 gives me 27 years old.

I have claimed, what Joni Burnell (31) would call it, The offices' "Baby Status".  In some places I am called old, but as soon as I come to work with all of the older people I become instantly Young! It feels good sometimes to still be young on the inside and out, but I also would like my age respected as a maturing Young Man. I know I'm still young but I feel old or older, I guess because as I was once told that I "have an old soul"

Below are a couple pictures from the Birthday week.
Thats Me and B Matthews. I have been knowing him for about 8 years now. We have fought, argued, disagreed with one another and still to this day we are tight! Me and him always have conversations of synchronystic value, they are always full of advice and helpful. He's right serving in the Nat'l Guard.
