If 40 is the new 20, then I’m turning 14 today

Today’s my brithday and the best thing about it will be celebrating with friends tonight. If you’re curious, I’m turning 34 which is an in-between kind of age. 34. Meh.

The girl from Hickopolis is also celebrating her birthday today, so be sure to send her good wishes. She’s turning 30.

Happy birthday, you!

    happy b-day joe! 34 huh? yeah, seems a non-event kind of birthday if by event we mean a day filled with more irrational dread at getting older than strictly necessary.

    i’m only 31 so i guess it’s within my rights to call you old fart until the end of time, since you’ll always be just-that-much older and fartier than me… but i won’t. that’d be mean.

  2. The Girl at Hickopolis Says:

    Dude, 14 rocks! Happy happy day, Joe.

    Happy Birthday!
    For the record, I turned 32 in 2005, which is also sorta meh. But what you’ve got to do is celebrate this milquetoast milestone for, oh, a good week or so. Go to a movie or a show every night, or buy a new comic book every day. Get some mileage out of it.

    Thanks! jmorrison, you have until you’re 32 to call me an old fart and then there’s something about a pot and a kettle or something. Sharyn, that’s good advice, especially the comic book every day part.

    Hick girl, Happy 30th…dont worry, you’re still only a few hours out of your twenties, so all the free birthday cocktails tonight shouldn’t hurt too much, right?

    Happy Birthday!

    I think that this deservers a celebration. Or at least a lunch…

    Of course I am a big fan of un-birthdays. You can celebrate those any day with the upside of not having to worry about your age. Down the rabbit hole we go…

    Happy (late) b-day! :)

    Good to meet you this afternoon, too. Quite the birthday present you got yourself!

  7. Astronaut Says:

    Nice to meet you too Michael. Thnaks. I love my birthday present. Insert Gollum/Smeagol joke here.
