Off the cliff
Fri, 2 September 2005
I have added a link to Jon from New York, U.S.A. It's interesting that I have more blog friends from the east coast while I don't have friends on the East Coast in real life. :-) Jon is an addict. Yes. baby. China Town Addict. :-) I won't come back home before midnight today so it's posted earlier than usual. It's Friday and I don't have to work tomorrow so I should be happy... One friend who went to high school together messaged me at midnight saying "Oh, you are now officialy old". Another one said "Don't act like you are 20 anymore.". Are these supposed to celebrate me in any way? For the last few weeks, I really tried to hang onto the edge of the cliff named 20s. I must admit I was a little scared of my being 30 myself a month ago. On the bright side, I am still 29 in some parts of this world. :-) Anyhow, I am over that 30 something fear crap. I am now feeling pretty damn well about it. Oddly, I am not sad nor am I in denial like so many people when they turn 30. I just wish I could have achieved so many things before today. I will have to value next 10 years more than I did in my 20s. Okay, I today turned 30 years old. There, I said it. I have no worries. My skin tone isn't as great as it used to be but I am feeling fabulous after all. My friends set up this little celebration at my usual drinking place. I hope no one is going to bullshit me with that old joke "oh you are old!" I will MAKE MY 30s FABULOUS!!! Okay, off to work. Have a fabulous weekend, guys!

Yeah I pretty much flipped out about 30. It's Terry's fault. He told me this story about how he worked at a club on his 30th birthday and this old drag queen came up to him and said "30 is 80 in gay years". Somehow that phrase became lodged in my subconscious and I was pretty freaked about making that transition. But it isn't that bad. And in Japan the social stigmas are probably different. I bet you never even had to cut off your penis like 30 year olds have to in the US.
Kidding :)
Shigeki, even though I have no idea what you look like, I'm sure that you're still just as hot as you were at 29, 28, 27, well... you get the picture. Your cool factor will never fade, regardless of the leading number in your age.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!

First of all, sorry if my posts have been bugging you. 30 is not old. Watch Sex & The City, Desprate House Wives Etc. 30 IS the new 20! Plus you are blessed with that immaculate asian complexion that allows you to defy age for another decade or more!
More importantly with age, you have grown wiser inside... or atleast i hope! Have a good birthday!

Happy birthday honey!
I think it's better to look back on what you've already accomplished, and look forward to more stuff to actually accomplish, instead of thinking of what you should or should not have done...
For example, WE LOVE YOUR BLOG. You're so kawaiiI could make a Tamagotchi out of you.

Turning 30 is easy. It's when you wake up and realize you're pushing 40 that you truly start to panic. 30 is the new 20, but 40 is just 40.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
