Gah 21 Sep 2005

Today, I hit the ripe old age of thirty-three. Note that this post, for the first time in a couple of years, is not entitled “Ooof”…

Well, what a day. A ten hour meeting at work, a grabbed lunch from Pret’s, a quick bite to eat when I got home. Hopefully life will slow down a little so that I can enjoy things soon. In the meantime, I thought I’d better hold up my hands and admit the birthday — for consistency on this site if nothing else — and I’d also like to thank the friends who took time out to mention it…. you know who you are.

P.S. A few days after admitting to hitting thirty, Notes 6 went gold. Doesn’t time fly?

  2. hey! entering 30's is very hard. for me was the period when I realized that time goes by fast and there's nothing you can do to stop it. After that I just enjoy. :-D

  3. I hit 33 about a month ago. A week later I was told by a young innocent I was middle-aged. Thump. My ego hit the floor. Where does the time go indeed?? I feel like I'm only just getting started…Brendon Upson#

  5. Happy Birthday Ben!!

    So… is 33 the state where "Ooof" becomes "Gah"?! I wonder what you'll say at 40 ;-)

    I wish you the best and I hope you have time in your hectic schedule to enjoy it soon!
