39... wat do? · 11:04am Jan 28th, 2019
I'm not sure what I'm feeling. Philosophical? Maybe that's it. I don't really see myself having a midlife crisis, or rather I got it out of the way in my mid-twenties while examining the existential horror of one day ceasing to exist. It's probably easier for folks with faith, but either way I no longer fear that particular inevitability. Honestly it'll be a load off in pretty much every way possible. Between then and now though? I figure I've got a few more of these to go.
Nothing really planned, just got home from work and I go in again tonight so... even if I wanted to get drunk it'd be a bad idea. The scotch on the dresser nearby says otherwise, but I know better than to trust that guy. So I guess... that's it really. I s'pose I'll get a couple calls, maybe a message or two, assuming I'm not asleep (work nights), but yeah.
Happy birthday to me.
Happy birthday.
Night shifts are hell, especially on party planning, but as we get older I've found its often better to make a small party arrangement yourself instead of waiting for people to come visit. Try and get a few friends and just go have a fun day/night out and tack "because I turned 39" on it. Doesn't have to be many, or on the actual birthday, just find a couple to go out with and have fun. Watch a movie, go bowling, have a nice dinner, any combination of those. Just a moment where you grin at the end and say "yeah, we had a fun party."
Hey Sun Sage! Happy birthday, regardless. I'm sorry to hear that at the moment it's nought but existential horror at the moment, and that you're not able to do much because of work, but I am hoping that you'll have a good day. You've always been a great guy to talk to about stuff, and I do wish you well! I know maybe random comments on fimfiction may not mean much, but for what it is worth, happy birthday, and congrats on making it through another year!

On the contrary, I appreciate well wishes. And nah, as stated the existential horror was years ago; I got it... mostly out of the way early. Tis a quiet birthday, but not so bad really. Philosophical.

That's good advice, thank you for it and the well wishes! Yes, as it happens I'm off tomorrow and will get out and do something... maybe. Simple matter of the weather cooperating; we're currently getting a fair bit of snow.
Happy Birthday!
I hear that philosophy is best left to the experts. They say that on it lies the path to madness.
… but we've already been exposed to Pinkie Pie, so it's too late for that warning.
