Today is June 26, 2008. I've officially been on the planet for 30 years. This used to be a day that I looked forward to but in recent years I've found myself wishing it wouldn't come. I used to go out and do something fun with friends or family. Now I just either don't care to or no one else cares to. I think my wife even forgot about it until her mom reminded her of it last night.
Sorry. I'm kinda bummed right now. Needed to vent....or a pat on the back or something.

I haven't read any of the other posts but I TOTALLY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH!!!!!!!! I turn the big 20+10 in week and I'm totally freakin' dreading it. If I could hide under a rock all day I would!! Luckily, I have no friends here in the area (we just moved) so nobody can bug me about throwing a party or having a get together. Damn, it's shocking, isn't it?!
I roll my eyes when my friends cousins tell me they're dreading 25 (quarter century).
Poor things... See, when you use the word century (be it even 1/4) it gets disturbing. It's the same deal as the half-full glass - 25 sounds a whole lot better!

I'm all about poor wording and phraseology. And you don't want to know what I tell those who turn 50.
Happy belated birthday drjones and Foma....30 is just a baby still!!!!!
I agree, happy belated birthday! drjones, I suggest that next year you plan a birthday celebration that will make you happy. Do whatever gives you joy and invite the people you want to spend time with. Don't wait for others to make the day special - do it yourself then it will be exactly the way you want it to be.
BTW - I fondly remember the thirties being better than the twenties. I wish the same for you!

NOW it's personal...put 'em up, put 'em up (in Bert Lahr voice)
