Culture shock
The magic number
Wed, October 26, 2005 - 10:56 PMI never really thought about it in that way.
I've been giving some thought to my birthday, age, getting older and all that jazz that usually comes up for many of us as we blow out those candles. I've come to the determination that age is really relative and it's all just about how you live your life. If you live an old life you will be old. If you live a young one, young. And it's never too late to learn new things, start new hobbies, go on adventures, dream, and experience. I want to learn to do some gymnastics in capoeira and dammit if I'm not going to do it, even though my knees are a bit creakier than they used to be. I will do that handstand into the bridge, if it takes me another year or more to learn it!
So here's to the magical number of this year, to the adventures that I know are coming, and to all of the wonderful people in my life who help to make it what it is now.

happy birthday apple. i've got less than 3 months to go on my 37, and its been a long strange trip indeed.
i know you've got big plans in the next 365 days, and more... congratulations! i am happy for you in so many little ways. base 10 is natural to us because of our digits. i'm quite sure octupi (if they had the capacity) would be quite interested in base 8 constructs. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8+1, 8+2, 8+3... and so on. dolphins? base 2... binary? maybe dolphins make better computer programmers? or would they count their tails too? anyway... the ONLY thing i know about growing older are these: a. the years seem shorter. b. i am more interested in doing what i want, than finding out what i want to do. c. i still feel young. ready? go. |
