Another Day, Another Year...

I turned thirty about 4 minute ago

not quite sure how I feel

according to my mother I'm no longer trustworthy
[a reference to her hippy days]
[in the glorius 60s and 70s]
[where it was said "you couldnt trust anyone over 30"]

Of course I protested saying

"As if I ever was"

I've been gone from here a long time
and I'm not quite sure I'm ready to come back
but
I figured a momenteus occasion such as this
at least deserved an entry

turning thirty

in my general philosophy
is no big deal

I've never believed in celebrating my own birthday
it is a fact that I was born, and that is sufficent

but I suppose in another way
turning thirty is somewhat significant

as a child
turning thirty was beyond my comprehension
in fact prior to the last couple of years
I was fairly confident that'd I'd never live to see this day

given my general disposition towards taking risks
the odds were long indeed

so here I sit
wasting the few hours I have allotted myself for sleep
trying to put a finger on this thing
this ellusive twitch
which echoes inside me

thirty years

sounds like a long time
yet seems only a flash in the pan

I wonder how my fifteen year old self
would react to hearing how my life turned out

not that I have any complaints
for the most part I'm pretty happy
with what I have done and accomplished

sure many things havent happened how I expected or planned
and god knows these thirty years
have not been without a significant price
in blood and humanity

I suppose in my mind

there is something of a meaningless significance to it all

thirty

thirty

like it demands some tribute

or atleast

to grow the fuck up

but I remain

a coward hiding behind my own courage
striving to overcome outwardly
so that I can avoid the reality within

bah fuck it

even I dont know what I am rambling on about now
so
without making any sense or even approaching a point

I'll take my leave of you

love love

your plural

I mocked you with my youth when you told me when we met which, by the way... you was supposed to write about :scoffs:

But alas, happy birthday cheri.

Happy birthday.

I'd mock you, but turning 30 must be rough enough on its own.

Thank you for leading the way.. I might just make it oneyear more to become old like you. Of course if you had to live my life you might be even older still. ;)

Happy birthday my lovely.

it's so funny how when you're 11 or 18 you can never imagine getting to be 30. and when you are even closer in your early 20s you think life is going to magically start sucking, and any small ounce of coolness you might have then will disappear once you hit 30 and think there is no point in getting to be that age anyway, even though it's closer and more possible you'll make it.

but 30 is a good age - smart enough to know better, young enough not to give a damn...

so happy birthday! hope your year is excellent.
