Bleh, never liked my birthday. I've always been too aware of my own mortality and getting older hasn't exactly been a thrill.

Havent accomplished that much in my life either, thats whats bothering me more than anything. I Lost a lot of pride a few years back and haven't really gotten it back.

lets face it graduating elementary school- college, isnt something to brag about, neither is getting a drivers license, or a handful of short films.

often wondered how many of you gents and gentles feel the same way as I do? I mean on my B-day I think about everything I've done during the year and wonder if I accomplished anything.

I feel the same way every year on my bday. All the could ofs and should ofs. I don't know what I can really do about it. I think all in all I just want to be remembered for something when I die. Same as you I guess because its the whole mortality thing with every year that passes.

Oh, I hear you, Wrath.

I didn't go to my college graduation because I honestly felt that it wasn't something that needed all that attention. The only thing I don't like about getting married (other than never touching another vagina ever again) is I'm not into getting attention unless I've done something truly unique.

I don't know. We have all of these useless celebrations in life that really aren't even celebrations as much as they are formalities. We do them because we're supposed to. I find myself asking the same questions as you every single day: "What the fuck am I doing with my life? Is this it, work until I die so I can have material things to brag to my neighbors about?"

Honestly, the only things I'm really, really looking forward to, when I'm ready, are kids. Every day that you raise a child you're making a true difference in someone's life because you are their #1 role model.

Other than kids though, I'm excited for nothing more than a two week break from work every year. Pretty fucking depressing. I've been in this rut, mentally, for a while, and I'd love to find something that truly motives me in life.

Buy yeah, happy birthday. At least it's on a Friday.

Happy Birthday, bro. Me being my age, I can't personally talk like I know what you're talking about, considering I'm only 17. Happy Birthday none-the-less bro :coolbeer:.

To tell ya the truth though, I've found the way to get past the blues you have, my friend.... play life as a game, earn points and relish every minor accomplishment... and NEVER be content... keep striving, keep dreaming and keep moving your ass up. I've had a lot of strikes against me, and I'll admit most of them were self-inflicted, but I look back and my life has gotten better with each year because I fucking ROCK my surroundings. I don't sit around bemoaning what could have been or what I fucked up... I kick the ass I need to kick and enjoy what I get for my work.

You aren't even 30 yet, bro... got plenty of time and youthful energy to make shit happen.

Do it, fucker!

I'm taking my first big step, but damn if it hasn't taken me almost 2 years to get to this point.

Everyone makes a difference. If your actions seem small, they are not. Everything affects everything. You waiving hi to someone could lead to them seeing how polite people can be, making them say hi to the woman across the street, leading to a relationship, leading to a child creating a cure for a disease. It's a very long and complex chain.

I'm proud to know that I produced two awsome children .. one destined to destroy the world.. one destined to save it... dunno which one is which yet though... all I do know is that one day they will battle and the fate of the world will lie in the outcome of that battle...

Nifty!!!

Happy Birthday man. I wouldn't dwell on the bad and could have beens instead focus on the good (like that piece of ass walking by you just missed because you were self loathing)

Happy Birthday!

I constantly have to remind myself that I am not old, even though I'm 24. That just seems old to me, yet I have many child-like qualities (I get too excited on Halloween and X-mas, I am amazed my shiny things, etc). Sometimes I feel more like a teenager because I live with my fiance..,.at his mom's house...:straightface: I can't find a job and I dropped out of college; but then I remember that I'm 24, and that's old. Then I remind myself that 24 is not old. It just turns into a vicious cycle.

You're only young. You'll look back someday and wish you were 24 again.
