After 32 years I still haven't figured out why people make such a big deal of birthdays. Is it because a person has survived another year or is it a feeble excuse to make them the centerpiece of attention for a day? Both? Really, I am at a loss right now. Would I be impolite to refuse any kind of celebration with friends? They probably think I'm rude or going through some sort of depression, but I just think of it as another day. Must be getting old....

 

Speaking of old, kicking air isn't helping my worn out knee a damn bit. Feels like mush and I have a color change belt test next week.

As far as the knee, make sure you're not snapping it on your kicks. That's a very common mistake that will cause severe knee pain. Also, make sure you inform the judges if you would consider it an injury.

 

As far as birthdays, I just don't let anyone know its my birthday.

yeah birthdays arent really a big deal to me

 

mine is on the 31 of december so people are too loaded to remember it.......

Yo PC

 

Tell me about it.

 

Mine's Dec 22nd - always gets swallowed up in the preparations for Christmas.

 

It's the big Four-Zero next year - Yikes!

 

 

 

 

ehh, Yoda, mines Dec. 23!! HAHA, i ain't gettin much attention!

I thought only Jehovahs Witnesses were the only ones that didnt like birthdays

 

 

Look, uh, whether or not ur birthday is important is beside the point.

 

The important thing is that you get cake. And more cake. All the cake you can eat.

 

:bdaybiggrin:

cake...beer..more beer...this is good but I have noticed the hangovers are getting worse with age!

Oh man. I don't know what happened to me last night. Some friends took me to the pub and I didn't feel like getting polluted. Some girls kept trying to get me to drink some shots to celebrate my birthday, and I refused. At least I don't have a hangover.

hahah... i like that!
