Today is my birthday, and I suppose it needs some commentary. I am now 23...two years from 25...almost halfway to 50...almost a quarter century old. Talk about perspective. I say all the time "I'm so old," but am I really? I feel like I did when I was 18, but I know, I hope, I've matured. Others tell me I have, so I trust them. Perhaps I'm just hanging on to those days when I had the type of responsibility that isn't really responsibility. And now, I am finally about to dive into the real world, into what seems to only be a monotonous sequence of repetition. That's why I feel old I guess.
March 6th, 2007 is half way over and to say it's been a productive day would just be lying. I've talked on the phone today more than I have in the last 3 months. I've been constantly clearing out my inbox of e-mails from Facebook alerting me that I have received yet another generic--though very satisfying--happy birthday wallpost. Text messages come every now and then. It's sort of exhausting accepting all the good cheer. But, what I would be like without all of it isn't something I want to think about, because I love being loved. There, that was something positive about today. Maybe I should just leave it at that before my mood starts to plummet.
Tonight will be a low key evening: simply dinner, drinks and friends. There are a few of you I wish were with me right now--you know who you are. But, we'll rendezvous en spirit. It's been a giftless day so far, but, what do I need really? Besides the Journey: Greatest Hits DVD...
Happy Birthday to me. Happy Birthday to me. Happy Birthday, dear Seth, Happy Birthday to me.
