I have come to gather they're like non-immediate families. They come once a year, and they don't change a whole lot when they do. I have joined the ranks of the adults as of this very minute. Is it supposed to feel more different than it does? Anyway, I'm happy today. Family time is good time. -Sean
Just had to remind my wife it was her birthday for the third time. Not really they come they go, you might eat cake from time to time.
I think the more you have, the less they matter. I'm only 24, but I stopped caring years ago. I turned 18 before I was a senior in HS, and long before any of my friends, so it was no big deal to me. When I turned 21, it just meant I could go pick up more booze for a party when everyone else was plastered Now I'm 24 and I still don't feel like I've changed much since I was maybe 19 *shrug*
Get a bit fed up with them. Tho I dare say that happened a few years ago with always having exams around my birthday
Fixed it for ya. It's different for everyone. I look forward to my birthdays, but more so to hang out with good friends, than to get stuff. I gotta say that when you went to Telluride, I found out that you were just a youngster....I thought you were a bit older than that. You've got some miles under your belt before you even turned 18, and you seem wise beyond your years. That's awesome! Be proud of that! Oh and Happy Birthday Mang.
I do the same thing on my birthday as I do with christmas and new years: turn off my cellphone, turn off the door buzzer and lock into my apartment with gallon of vodka. Works like a charm, the last x-masses and b-days I can remember were around year 2000. But happy birthday to u
As do I, I just think that nothing particularly changes from one year to the next. I notice changes on random days far more than I do on my birthdays. Thanks! I should be updating that thread I posted about it in a few days, my band director has been a bit slow in getting me pics/tracks from it. It was one of the most beautiful places I've ever been though, by far. Best place, also, I've ever meditated. Highly recommended if you can ever make it out to the festival, or just out there period. Great bands during the festival is only a bonus to the amazing sight that is those gargantuan snow-capped mountains, and that awesome village down there. Anyway, like I said, more info on that in a couple days. Thanks everyone. I had a great day today. -Sean
My girlfriends is the day after tomorrow, and I havent heard a word from her about it yet? SOmething strange is a brewin'
gifts are a trap, w.e. u buy her, or dont buy...ure gunna end up screwing things up to her eyes....its a frkn trap
I guess I meant to touch on that. I didn't really feel any different when I turned 18,...just,...I could buy my own cigarettes and pron (back then you had to buy pron). When I turned 21 it just meant that I was able to buy myself and all the minors I squatted with alcohol, but other than that I still didn't know how to treat people or myself. It's only after my body is beginning to fall apart (after 30) that I realize that growing up isn't about getting older,...it's dropping your selfishness,...learning how to treat yourself and others with respect and unconditional love. And about a million other things that I shouldn't get into because I don't know everything yet. Sounds like good times,....looking forward to the light/sound.
