It's my birthday,
so there.
It's my birthday. I'm 26, and in the last year of my mid-twenties. I've got three years of late-twenties to look forward to, and then... I don't know, mummification or something.
It's been a crazy weekend, and I've got a lot of mixed emotions (not related to my birthday; just a lot of different stuff). This morning at church lots of people asked me "how's it going?", but I could only respond I don't know. And that's the truth.
I didn't get a lot of sleep last night -- for various reasons -- and I've been feeling melancholy all day. We sang some Christmas songs this morning and I was fighting not to cry, although I'm not exactly sure why.
Come to think of it, maybe I shouldn't be writing about this on the internet; I'm going to ruin my suave reputation. The above image, taken from a video of my 10th birthday, sums up my mood nicely.
Ok, it's time for a nap.

Happy B-day! Sorry you feel so blue...hope it goes away soon!
prayin' for ya...birthdays are kinda....well...just wait 'til yer 40-sumthin!
Happy Birthday, Michael. Ronald Reagan was president when I was your age. I didn't turn into a mummy, though I've added a few gray hairs.
40-sumthin'...wait...i'm 39 and holding.....
Happy Birthday, Mike. I'm falling down the slippery slope toward 40 myself, and I envy you :)
40 is nothin'. Wait til 50 is staring you in the face! ;-)
Don't worry about it too much Michael. All this will pass away and you will, ultimately, prevail.
Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Michael. I'm sorry you're blue, but I do know how you feel -- I've been there.
Oh, and I am proof that life can begin at 45 -- or maybe that's restart...
Thanks for the encouragement everyone.
26? WAAAH!
Seriously, that was the hardest birthday for me as well. I was closer to thirty than to twenty. However...30 was nothing--going out to party, I got carded on that birthday--nor was 40.
Happy (belated) birthday.
