It is April 14th, and it is my birthday. I have slowly noticed that as I get older, I start to care less and less about my birthdays. Obviously I am excited about next year, and I’m sure I will be excited when I turn 60 ( My IRA will be a tax free gold mine by then) but what took the excitement out of birthdays. I was always so excited about my birthday in the past. A day that people concentrated on you and gave you things that you wanted, and THEY paid for them. This year it’s different for some reason. I did get my mountain bike, which was my parents gift to me, about a month ago. This might have contributed to the less than excited state I’m in. At this point in my life age and responsibility are directly related. What types of things do I want for my birthday then? Anything that has a purpose! Of course, the girl I’m dating just wants to make me cake, which I would love if it didn’t make me even more over weight.
