Its Official!

by Moby

I’m 38 years old today.1  Yes, yours truly has reached his 38th year on this old Earth.  And while I am definitely noticing my age, I don’t appear to be in any danger of slowing down.  If anything, I think I’m speeding up! 

Its funny, I can remember a moment in 5th grade thinking, "gosh what will it be like when I’m old."  Of course, my frame of reference then was 30. heehee   Now that I’m 38, I don’t feel old.  I also don’t feel young either.  Does that make sense?  I guess the naivety of youth has been tempered with wisdom (I’d like to think so anyway) and knowledge.  I’d like to think I’ve kept the best of both worlds so far. 

On the flip side, I don’t regret or fear getting older.  If anything, I look forward to it.  My life has gradually improved with age and I can hope that upward incline continues.  I’ve made some great friends along the way.  It would be nice to find a knuckle head who could put up with me but that is not a requirement. 

So, as I look backward and forward,  I find I am still optimistic.  I survived the past and the future is still an exciting place to me.  I guess that is a good thing. 

Here’s to 38 more years!

    Oh man…I’m sorry I missed the actual day. But how cool to have something so great happen on your birthday, huh?

    Happy Birthday, hotness.

    Happy belated birthday to you! I have to agree with Rich. In your 40′s you become Daddy material… all of a sudden and out of nowhere. It’s a little disconcerting and I’m still adjusting.

    Happy b-day, Moby!
    Just wait till 42.
    That’s when the ahes and pains really kick in.
    That’s when the hot boys looking for Daddy start to pop out of the woodwork.

    Happy Birthday Handsome! Many more to come!

    Of course you’re two years away from the expiration of your Limited Lifetime Warranty. That’s when you start thanking your bed for being there when you get in it at night. That’s when you start to notice hair migrating from different parts of your body from where it should be to places is shouldn’t. That’s when one day you notice “Hey, when did my knee start making THAT noise!” :)
