Daily photograph for 2008-11-18 - "bloom"

Today's photograph on my photoblog, "Photo-Persistence"

I’m 30!

Today is my birthday. Creaking around the corner to 30. Do I feel old? Heck no. I feel the same way as I did when I was in university. I still like cool toys, playing Playstation, drawing, skateboarding, snowboarding and dressing below my age. Not much has changed in the past 10 years. But I think I did see a couple gray hairs in the mirror today.

Most common question today: Do you feel old?
Most common answer: No.

I’ve actually been ignoring the fact that my birthday has been coming up. Jenn has been asking me repeatly for the past 2 weeks what I wanted to do for my birthday and I really haven’t given it any thought. I think I’m mostly just ignoring it.

Tonight, to celebrate, my friends have planned an evening at Rinx. This should be really fun. We went there for my company Xmas party and I had a blast.

Interesting events on this date: 1987 - a blizzard in New Jersey, as 334 attend the Devils-Flame NHL game, New Jersey wins 7-5. 1982 - 75% of North America is covered by snow. I wish I was snowboarding then. 2004 - Chinese New Year - The year of the monkey. Wear some red and party for the new year.
