Another Year Older

∞ | January 21, 2005 | Category: Site News

Today’s my 23rd birthday, and I really couldn’t care less. What a strange feeling — I’m neither excited nor stressed by the concept of aging. Oh well.

…and a big happy birthday to my friend and collegue, Brady J. Frey. No wonder we so often see eye to eye! ;-)

You might change your mind on that when you hit 30

Happpy Birthday.

Cheers to being 23!

I just turned 23 on the 10th of this month, and I pretty much felt the same way you do.

Congrats, enjoy. Birthdays are to be enjoyed after all. Though I have a subtle fear that you people a bit ahead of our time. So it’s late. Heck, I hope it was good.

I agree, when I turned 23 I was not concerned either. Though as mentioned above when you get to 30 you will care

Happy Birthday Andrew! I still have you by one year - it’s ok, you’ll get there soon enough:)

I admit, I don’t care much for birthday’s either. I had an interesting conversation with my sister the other day, she’s a leap year baby, and will be 29 this year; she said ‘Can you believe it? You’ll be 24, I’ll be 29… do you remember when we were kids or in high school – that was @&^# ancient!! But I don’t feel old, it’s so odd…’

It is so odd, with more oddness to come:)

…and it’s not late for me in the US, it’s 10:14am, January 21st in San Francisco!

Wow, happy birthday old man!

Happy birthday! I felt the same way at 23. Enjoy it while it lasts. After 25, the years come at you in double-time. Or so I’m told (only 26).

Happy Birthday man, have a good one.

Andrew said:

Thanks everyone! Wow, such a warm response I guess losing the excitement that comes with birthdays is a good indication that I’m almost an adult… ALMOST!!!

Brady: I know I threatened to post that embarrassing shot of you, but I just couldn’t do it… it’s still in storage though

Andrew said:

Derek: I don’t drink beer, but I’ll hold you to that promise

Jeremy: I hope you enjoyed your day at the office, sorry you didn’t get to whitness one of the hillarious ‘coloured balls + nerf guns’ battles! They’re more of an end of year thing, I think…

And if somebody promises you an original pilsner lager from Pilsen? ;P

Todd Seal said:

Ah, 23. I remember it well. I don’t think much about aging and birthdays either, but for about a month before and a month after my 30th, it got really freaky. Everything’s fine now, though.
[casting furtive glances left and right]

I hope it was a good day for you. Happy belated birthday, Andrew. I look forward to what you’ll put out there this year. Cheers.

An Aussie that doesn’t drink beer? Thanks a bunch Andrew, there goes another cosy cultural stereotype!

Anyway, belated birthday greetings, and all the best for this year and those to come.

24 is useless too. I have a feeling 25 is going to be pretty big, hopefully for the right reasons. A quarter of a century. It’s almost 30, officially old. And officially too old for college chicks.

Senility can’t be too far away.

And officially too old for college chicks.

AND this means that it’s time to update your “About” page, my friend! All this fancy codin’ and you can’t create an automatic age tally!?

Andrew said:

ROFL! I’m so busted
Ok, I’ll fix that up, but the myriad of other bugs this site suffers from are going to wait for version two… Which is actually happening, contrary to what people have been saying to me via email and MSN.

Re: ‘College girls debate’…Why do you think I work at a Uni?
