Well, some news:
But I don’t know how I’m supposed to feel about it. A lifetime of TV and movies have led me to believe that my thirtieth birthday should be some milestone, dreaded as it approaches and then, once passed, a means to mature into the kind of person who can make sound fiscal decisions and maybe varnish a deck. Only I don’t feel like that will happen and am therefore forced to acknowledge that TV and movies may have lied to me. The closest I’ve come to varnishing a deck was polishing my wooden floors with a substance that later turned out to be specifically not for floors because it makes them dangerously slippery.
Cartoon watching and video game-playing, meanwhile, continue into my third decade unabated.
omg you are an inspiration for all younger-than-thirty people

ReplyDeleteThen you can agree that June is the best month and the rest are mere sucka months.
DeleteThe last sentence is exactly what I hope to hear myself say when I turn 30.
ReplyDeleteAnd thusly onto infinity.
DeleteYou and me both, my friend.
ReplyDeleteMany Happy Returns.
Returns, yes -- to the treasure cave where I find the gold coins that make the next ten years exceedingly easy.
DeleteIt's actually your fourth decade, assuming you started at zero like the rest of us. Happy etc.
ReplyDeleteDespite your good intentions, this news is not helpful.
DeleteHappy birthday! I got chicken pox for my 30th birthday, which I think was my body's way of saying I wasn't done with childhood yet. I'm afraid to find out what it has in store for me when I turn 50 next year.
ReplyDeleteYou probably get superpowers at that point, I'm guessing. Or at least a badass salt-and-pepper beard.
DeleteWell, get a drink of water.
ReplyDeleteDone and done.
DeleteA very happy birthday and a great third decade. it is really wonderful :D
ReplyDeleteIs it the one where my life magically flies together?
DeleteHappy birthday man! You're a mere 13 years older than me!
