On a Lighter Note...

Hmmmm...perhaps the reason I feel old and you don't might have something to do with me being a beer guzzling, smoking, junk food eater who does not get regular exercise.  But seriously, I don't feel physically old, but two things bother me about getting older.  First, I see the time rapidly approaching (if it hasn't already happened) where there are fewer days ahead of me than behind me.  Second, I miss being really young.  The lack of any true responsibility, the hangovers were fewer, and the 18 year old girls (god, how I miss the 18 year old girls).

Synthguy:  Thanks for the birthday wishes.  Somehow I didn't think there were going to be too many takers for giving me large cash gifts on this site.  Especially considering my diatribe in another post in this forum.

Thanks Man with Hat.  Happy birthday to you too, a little early perhaps.  There do seem to be quite a few people in here with birthdays in July.  I'm amazed by all of the young people in this forum and very glad to know that progressive rock is continuing to have an impact on the younger generations.  Enjoy your youth (and the young girls) while you can.

BTW, you're name doesn't have anything to do with Men Without Hats does it?  "We can dance if we want to/we can leave your friends behind/cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance/well they're no friends of mine."

Well then Maani's not quite old enough to be my dad.  Unless he got a very early start, in which case I'd be jealous.  I didn't get lucky until I was 16.

Thank you and  no it actually doesn't...but i love that song. Maybe i can use that as my reasoning. I just picked this name because it was the first thing i could think of. I wanted a sly referance to prog...but this is what i got.

This post should come very close to Doc's birthday so...have a merry birthday and get smashed on my behalf.

my birthday is Dec. 27 and at that time people are still celebrating Jesus's birthday so It goes unnotice by all except family.

for just one birthday, I want someone to give me gold, frankincense and myyrh.
