birthday blues

Okay so I was sitting here thinking...
My 42 birthday is next thursday, and i was thinking back as to when i felt really depressed on how old I was going to be.
When I turned 40 I was so depressed. felt old and used..hehehhehe but not so much any more. "just another year" as they would say.

so what was your birthday year that really depressed and why...


licks and kisses everyone...
It gets better EVERY year doll. My new age is 29-12, so i'll ALWAYS be in my late twenties, yet the second # gives me the "experience factor" that most men prefer. (at least the one's I come accross).
An early Happy Birthday to you love in case I don't remember Thurs. (it's the second # causing that effect). ~smile
awesome.. grin on my face... lol
Uh...can't remember cause that's what happens when you get my age! "Maturity" does have its advantages...cough, cough! (lol) Ah honey, age is just a number...anyone can make themselves "old." Life's too short to worry about all the wrinkles, sagging and...eek, now I'm depressed!!

Seriously, I still like birthdays and get as excited about planning something special...just as I did when I was 20something. The only downfall, these days, is the fire dept charges me for coming out to extinguish my candles!

Hope you have a good Birthday...and do something nice for yourself!

Early Happy Birthday honey--your the best!
My most depressing? My 18th, I'd have to say.

Why? Because 5 - 6 weeks earlier, in an occupational accident at a car wash (that paid $1.25/hr), I got my foot caught in machinery (a bed of high-speed rollers) that ripped the flesh off the top of my foot, exposing muscles and tendons. I had to undergo multiple skin graft surgeries.

There was a young, married, secretary-receptionist on my hospital floor who had the morals of an alleycat. She'd sometimes drop by to chat, always in a tight blouse with a plunging neckline (she had quite an eyeful to show off), and "diss" her husband who'd gotten drafted to fight in Vietnam. Anyway, I digress -- She came in around 6:00AM one late October morning, at the start of her shift, to wish me a Happy Birthday -- while kissing me on either cheek, then fully on the lips.

What's so depressing about that? I was trying to stay "faithful" to my girl friend, Carol, who lived ~600 mi. away, in Minneapolis; so I quickly pulled away.

Sh**; I probably could have gotten a BBBJ on my 18th birthday, had I not been such a principled, naive, clueless dolt (I didn't even know there was such a thing as "oral")!

In the past year, I've done a damn good job of making up for the lost opportunities of my youth.

My best birthday -- I'd have to say my 57th, last year, when my ATF blew out my "candle"!

Don't celebrate them myself. Just another day of the year. All it signifies to me is that the planet is somewhat in the same postion around the sun 365 days before hand with the SS some distances away from its last position. :/
