Quarter Century

Yesterday I turned 25. Twenty-five. I'm not going to lament about how old I feel, because I think it's sort of a ridiculous thing our culture does. What exactly is wrong with getting older? There is a song called "Older" by They Might be Giants. It points out the ridiculousness of it all. The lyrics go like this:

You're older than you've ever been.
And now you're even older.
And now you're even older.
And now you're even older.

You're older than you've ever been.
And now you're even older.
And now you're older still.



Every second we get older is really a blessing isn't it? I can't stay alive if I don't get older.

I had an amazing birthday, spending most of my time with Adrian by my side and a lot of the time with my friend Jessica. So I'm twenty-five and happy to get this far with out a quarter life crisis. Thanks for all the birthday wishes from you all, but thanks more for all the happy memories you've given me. I look forward to my next 75+/- years.
