My 45th birthday is Saturday and all I want is to make it through the day without any hassles or headaches. It is just another day for me that makes me officially a year older on my ID. My wife has more fun on my birthday than I do.
Birthdays lost their thrill for me after 18 because there were no more hurdles then. The drinking age was 18 and I stayed ahead of the gradual age increase up to 21 and I never had to worry about being old enough.
Now I do not drink and am almost too old hoping I do not have to have another 45 more birthdays because I do not want to be 90 years old and useless as tits on a bull.

Now that I think about it, what I want for my birthday is for 2/3rds of the worlds population to vanish off the face of the Earth and take all the violence with them.
