Another Year Older

21 Jan 2005

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! ;-)

    “I’m neither excited nor stressed by the concept of aging.”

    You might change your mind on that when you hit 30 ;-)

    Happpy Birthday.

  3. John Lampard:

    Aging at 23? Hardly! Happy birthday :)

  4. Steve:

    Happy Birthday!

  5. Brian Cornett:

    Cheers to being 23!

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

  6. Rob Mientjes:

    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.

  7. Johnny Gulag:

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

  8. Jehiah:

    It’s nice to know i’m not the only one doing well in this line of work at 23

    =)

  9. Brady J. Frey:

    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!

  10. Jan Brasna:

    Wow, happy birthday old man! :)

    I wish you to have this feeling for some next years… We’ll see then :D

  11. Geoffrey Sneddon:

    Happy birthday, wait a couple of months then you’re only 10 years older than me again :D

  12. Jamie:

    Happy birthday to Andrew and Bradyj:p

  13. Feaverish:

    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).

  14. Ollie:

    Happy birthday Andrew :P .

  15. Chris Gwynne:

    No wonder we so often see eye to eye!

    Are you the same height too? *drumroll*… lame I know ;)

    Happy Birthday man, have a good one.

  16. Andrew:

    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!!! :D

    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 ;)

  17. Brady J. Frey:

    You can break out the mullet shot, I’m comfortable with myself and my newly shaven head ;)

  18. John Serris:

    Hey Happy Birthday man! It’s all downhill from here. :)

  19. Geoffrey Sneddon:

    and my newly shaven head ;)

    I’m scared now…

  20. Derek Featherstone:

    Happy birthday, matey! Hope it was a good one for you!

    I’ll buy you a birthday drink when we meet up (whenever that will be!)

  21. jeremy dowe:

    happy birthday from the work experience kid…

  22. Andrew:

    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…

  23. Jan Brasna:

    I don’t drink beer…

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

  24. Todd Seal:

    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.

  25. Gary:

    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.

  26. Ollie:

    LOL @ Gary :P

  27. Brian:

    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.

  28. Andrew:

    And officially too old for college chicks.

    Bah! NEVER!! :)

  29. Brady J. Frey:

    Never too old for college girls! C’mon…

  30. Todd Seal:

    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!?

  31. Andrew:

    ROFL! I’m so busted :o
    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? ;)

  32. Seth Thomas Rasmussen:

    Happy belated, sir. :)

  33. kahsoon:

    happy very belated birthday lol
