It's my Birthday - I can groove if I have to.

Turning 43, and telling my Professor, this book Little Dorit is the most inappropriately titled book ever.

Flip Prof, I can't pick this up?

How must I read it?

If AC/DC lived in the 19th century they'd write a song about a whole lot of "Doris".

Happy birthday. When you were born I was out of high school and in college.

Wow, still shaking off the army then.

Like now, I try to tell people about HIV/AIDS, and we once had a denialist Prez, and they're like 'huh"?

Happiest of Birthdays, HOM-ie!!

Shake it Don't Break it!!

🎶🌟🎶🤣

Yep-you're over the hump. Welcome to creaky knees, back aches, sore feet and extreme fatigue. Happy, happy birthday!

You're getting to be 3/4 old man now !! Still a whipper snipper, wait till you get to 46. Over the hill and far away.

Happy sparkly sprinkles day brother...

Happy Bithday.

I remember reading Roots (not much television back then), and my brother said, such a big book I don't even take out of the cupboard - and you're reading it!

Are you gay?

Funny thing, I have this buddy with long dread-locks who works in the Lego shop.

We always chat.

But he tells me, listen to this German band, their singer is like forty.

I said, I'm like forty.

They won't believe it.

To them it's unimaginable.

I've been where you've been (under forty).

But you haven't been where I've been.

Just a big bag of photos to show for it.
Yeah, amazing, before we could stick everything into a virtual folder - we had literal photographs.

And the shopping malls back then were full of people who would develop them for you.

Often people who worked there were classed as "weirdos" or "psychos" - they look at your personal pics.

Today, I suppose, we call it Facebook.

happy Birthday

hahahaha this is so true - you nailed it.

Yeah back in the day - validation meant getting your photos back stuck together.

So I'm not the only one.

Funny to say now, but that's how you felt.

I'm the only dude who likes dudes on the entire planet.

Happy birthday! So 43? What is the single most important lesson that you have learned during those years? About yourself, or the world, or your relationship with the world?

I sometimes like to try to learn from other peoples experiences, because i might have a tendency to make my own life not so... hmm... positively productive.

The nice thing about a birthday is though (no cake for me) you're almost allowed to do everything.

Is that wine I smell on your breath - who cares , it's your birthday.

Does your room reek of rabbit #e?

It's groovy, it's your birthday.

Some songs (especially the 1980s) say it should be Christmas every day.

I think it should be my birthday everyday.

You're never too old to rebel.
