Growing Up

Last week I had a big birthday. I turned (mumble)-ty. I can't say I've been looking forward to this birthday, necessarily, but I have been doing my best to proactively come to terms with the end of my youth (I'm not at all overdramatic)--Sometimes I even managed to forget that I wasn't yet my new age. I'm not really sure why this birthday seemed so ominous, but it did, for several months. And then serendipity placed this video in my RSS reader and I happened to come across it during my lunch hour on my birthday. Gaining another year isn't so bad, especially if I think of all of the cool things to come (and it's certainly better than the alternative, as my Grandpa used to say).
