Just Another Day

To me, a birthday is just another day in the year. Nothing all that special, except that you are officially a year older now. Today I’ve hit the quarter century mark (for the slow thinkers out there that means 25 years). Man, I’m getting old!

It’s funny how we want to grow up so fast as kids, but as we get older, we want time to slow down.

Check out the picture below. The back is also engraved with my name. It suprisingly heavy too. They aren’t cheap, but you can buy your own.
