My 30th Birthday Party

Originally uploaded by vansunder.

Other people make such a big deal out of turning 30. To me, it’s just not that big a deal. True I’m still 29, at least until Wednesday, but I find it hard to believe that I’ll feel differrently then.

Hopefully, Jeff is reading this because today is his birthday. Happy 30th birthday, Jeff! I sent Jeff an ecard, but since I’m not sure where he is exactly, I wasn’t able to give him a call.

So, as a strange coincidence, my birthday party coincided with the anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima, August 6 and my birthday coincides with the bombing of Nagasaki, August 9. Strange coincidences I know, but sometimes that’s how these things work out. I’m sure it’s happened this way on at least one other birthday as well.

The birthday party was a success for the most part. You can’t please everyone all of the time, but almost everyone had a good time the whole time. Those other people, well…I’m sorry, but such is life. Besides, it was my birthday party.
