I think the fear of getting older is one of the biggest problems in the world today. That’s right, I said it. In my opinion it’s one of the leading causes for all of those wars going on in the Middle East right now.

But I’ve come up with a solution to this problem: lie about your age. If you don’t want to be 43, tell everybody you’re really 33. If you want to go the absurd route, tell people you’re 13. No one’s gonna know.

Now a lot of people in showbiz already do this. Many actors on something like imdb.com create a birthdate that makes them younger than they really are. But for me, the opposite has occured. Someone posted a birthdate that has actually made me older than I really am. Check it out here:

www.imdb.com

As you can see, according to imdb.com I am actually 35 years old. (For all of you Rob Lathan trivia buffs, I’m actually 30). Another weird thing is that whoever posted it got the city right where I was born (Atlanta), but got everything else wrong. So this leads me to believe that whoever posted it knows me well enough to know that I’m from Atlanta. And from that I can conclude one of two things:

1) Somebody’s out to get me.

Or:

2) Somebody really wants me to be 35 years old.

I did try to contact imdb.com to change it, but haven’t heard back. So I guess I have to be 35 years old now. Wait, 35? How am I gonna get a gig now? Casting directors will write me off in no time! You know what? Fuck that! I hate being 35!!! I’m gonna go start a war in the Middle East!! Who’s with me??????
