How to celebrate my 30th birthday? - Toyota Yaris Forums

john21031 · 05-03-2010, 02:13 AM

Living in LA, only father here as a relative and he doesn't like to go out much. No close friends here. Budget up to couple of hundred dollars I guess.

Any thoughts?

Also, how did you guys celebrate your 30th bday those who lived that long...

Invite everyone to a beach party.

strip club???

buy an escort for the night??

or, you can drive up to canada....get cheap beer with the hotties near niagra falls. there's a pub about 10 miles down some back country road...they're topless and the beer is awesome. plus, throw a 5-dollar tip their way and they'll bea ll over you. well, it was that way when 5 bux to me was like 15 to them...

30 is a good one.

What is it that you enjoy doing? Perhaps you want to take a day off and go do [whatever] It doesn't have to be fancy or expensive, it has to be enjoyable.

I don't remember many of my birthdays but I remember one or two of them. The most memorable of them was when a co-worker borrowed the boss's car and took me to Marin Headlands at the end of the day. The view on San Francisco and the GG Bridge from there was incredible.

It's like this but at night, you see all the little lights from the city, pretty cool

He had champagne in the back of the car (I suppose we could have gotten in real trouble for that so I don't recommend it!) but we had a glass of champagne while looking at the beautiful view. The guy told me "you can now say that you've had champagne in a Porshe on your birthday and you' probably will never forget it." He's right, I never forgot it even though it was a long time ago.

I really wanted to drive the Porshe (that would have been pretty cool

) but he didn't let me (which was probably wise). Still, I remember the b'day. Cost next to nothing and made some great memories.

I don't remember my 30st but I do remember how it felt to be that age. 30's a good decade, enjoy!

Dood - that was 25 years ago - you expect me to remember THAT far back...?

Do something memorable. Go sky diving or something else you've never done/always wanted to do.

I took a 3-day solo backpacking trip along a portion of the Appalachian trail.

Took the wife to Jamaica for her 30th

I am still 28, but I got plenty of time to think of something good

kac · 05-10-2010, 11:21 PM

Do something different. Stay away from the norm. Whatever it is, have a good one!

Black Yaris · 05-10-2010, 11:29 PM

hookers and blow?

SilverBack · 05-11-2010, 01:45 AM

As someone who's also turning 30 in 8 months, I suggest you just live it up and go all out. Get wasted as much as possible (make it a 2 or 3 day long thing of you have to) and do all things you've always wanted to but never got around to because life got in the way. Smoke a few joints, bar-hop like a wild motherfucker, pay a few hookers an hour at a time, give the cops a hard time, skydive, base jump, take-up snowboarding and/or surfing, and/or just do whatever's been eating at you since you turned 18 or 21. Just do something wild and crazy to feel young again for one last time before you call it quits and let middle age settle in. It'll make for some sweet memories (unless you only went bar-hopping).

TLyttle · 05-11-2010, 02:12 AM

Hell, I was so surprised to see 30 after the way I had been living, I just congratulated myself on my good luck!

At that time, I was considering my poor judgment in a wife, checking out a couple of optional careers (and relationships), and wondering if my luck would hold for a few more years past 30.

So here I am at 71, with absolutely no clue how I survived this long, with the way I drive, the way I lived, and why my body survived all the mistreatment!! Good luck with 30, kid...

TRDMarty · 05-11-2010, 09:53 AM

GET NAKED

*tomato* · 05-11-2010, 01:13 PM

Personally I'm against massive drinking to celebrate anything (although I did that a few years back for one of my b'days - can't remember much of the evening though - only because people kept buying me drinks .. oops ) and the reason for that is that you can't remember much of what you did the night before so it's short lived plus you don't want to spend the rest of the night praying to the Porcelain God

just my 2 c of course

it's great to be 30 (a lot better, I think than the 20's )

I think its better went to that place which you like the most with your family and friends.and prepare something in home only and enjoy it with your family and friends.

why? · 05-12-2010, 02:42 PM

i ignored my 30th birthday. of course it was last year. birthdays suck when you get this old. Just reminds you that you will die, and yet you still haven't done enough with your life yet.
