My birthday. Could be worse. Could be dead.
It's amazing the changes that people expect both physically and psychologically just because a number has incremented by one. I mean some really pretty dumb comments. As if , by some miracle only possibly explained in a movie by Disney, at the stroke of midnight, everything changes. Every birthday it seems we get run through a barrage of "Y2K" like scares only to find upon waking that, ultimately, it's just another day.
Let me share some with you and my thoughts on them.
"You look pretty fit for a 30 year old".
-Well yesterday I was 29 and weighed 2 lbs more and there was no mention of how fit or out of shape I was then. Does some magic lard fairy supposed to sneak in on my while I sleep and deposit 20 lbs of lard in my ass or in my cheeks?
"So how does it feel to turn the big '3-oh'?"
-Didn't know I turned anything. Seriously, my heart has made X amount of beats, I have spent 10 years of my life sleeping so far, and travelled enough miles in my life to make it to the moon. A few more beats, and few more hours of sleep, and a few more steps isn't going to magically change how I feel. How do I feel? Hungry and horny. Ask me tomorrow. I will tell you the same thing.
"Oh oh. Might need to watch out for a midlife crisis"
- What the fuck? Seriously. Having a midlife crisis now implies
1) I am going to die at 60
2) There is something to have a crisis about
3) You are a fucking moron. ( I just threw this in there for shits and giggles ).
In the end, it was just another day. Birthdays are for other people to celebrate that you are farther along the path than you used to be, which makes them feel good. **sigh**
