On October 25, 1974, at approximately 6:50 AM, the skies darkened and the Earth shook. This is the day I was brought into this world, and it was forever changed. Well, ok, maybe not, but still I can dream, can't I? 🙂
Turning 32 isn't that big a deal, much like turning 27, 28, 29, or 31. At least 30 was a 'decade birthday'. Turning 32 is sort of like "yup, you're older than 21, but not 40". Not that special. However, it could be worse, I could be 12 (all the energy, none of the money) or 62 (all the money [I hope] and none of the energy). The only birthday I'm looking forward to is my 37th, related to a Monty Python and the Holy Grail quote:
King Arthur: Old woman.
Dennis: Man.
King Arthur: Man, sorry. What knight lives in that castle over there?
Dennis: I'm 37.
King Arthur: What?
Dennis: I'm 37. I'm not old.
King Arthur: Well I can't just call you "man".
Dennis: Well you could say "Dennis".
King Arthur: I didn't know you were called Dennis.
Dennis: Well you didn't bother to find out did you?
King Arthur: I did say sorry about the "old woman", but from behind you looked…
Dennis: What I object to is you automatically treat me like an inferior.
King Arthur: Well I am king.
Dennis: Oh, king eh? Very nice. And how'd you get that, eh? By exploiting the workers. By hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society.

Hey! Stealing my stuff, are ya? Why you… *shakes fist*
Ha ha, I only have about a year and a half until I get to use it. I win! Oh wait… 🙂
Happy Birthday anyway, my friend. 32 should be a good ‘un. Lowered expectations of a non-milestone year usually mean you exceed them. And you’re almost king of your demographic. W00t.
Happy birthday!
I’d say something about 32…but I don’t remember it.
GD: hehe, yeah, I know. But it’s true! And yes, you do win. 😉
Happy Birthday, you old fart!
I missed being able to drive over at the last minute and surprise you by creeping up to your house (once I found it … always got lost going there) and giving you a big birthday hug and knee to the groin … *sigh*
Oh well, just because I’m not kicking you in the nuts doesn’t mean you didn’t have a birthday! hope it was a good one!
martin: thanks. I do miss your annual birthday groin-kick. 🙂
