Happy Birthday!

By the way, I actually thought about you the other day. Three years ago, I predicted that this wrestler named John Cena would be a champion and it came true.

I have made precious few bold predictions in this journal, but they all seem to come true eventually. Which is why I thought of you. You see, I also predicted you would be a star one day after hearing your Airplane Song.

So, I'm still waiting on you to become rich and famous so that I can keep my spotless record. Hopefully things are going well on the music front.

Hello. How's life? Still in Sydney?

It comes as some surprise to see you're turning 23, that's only about 3 months older than me. I always assumed you were a couple of years older.

I know what you mean by disliking getting older (I refused to celebrate my 20th birthday, and I ignore birthdays in general), though I dislike it for different reasons. It's disconcerting to look at the age 23 when you dont feel that old, it makes you feel like you might be lagging behind in life!

Intense changes can be frustrating, but I usualy feel like I come out the other side of them feeling more mature and in harmony with myself, so I don't try to aviod them.

But then you look at all those people around the place who are 30 and 40 an 50 and 60 and seem less sensible and nice and responsible and mature and caring and in touch with themselves and you get over it... It's just a number in the end; we are who we are

Well, it's not like anyone asked you to go and move to Australia, and shit. My Gawd! I, least of all, don't feel sorry for you.

You do it to yourself, you do, and that's what really hurts.

Sing it, Thom!

And happy birthday in a few, in case I forget...

I freaked out when I turned 23 because my mom was 23 when she had me.

Same thing when I turned 25. My dad was 25 when I was born.

And yes...I'm ready to let things settle a bit. A little bit of inertia will do our bodies good, no?
