Today, I'm 45.
Halfway between 40 and 50. I'm not exactly thrilled about it, but as there is little in my life that I am thrilled about it hardly matters.

Today has been a really shitty day; you guys brighten it up substantially!
I hit 45 a couple-three weeks ago. I rather like it.
I was just thinking yesterday (for absolutely no good reason): if God or whomever showed up and said, "You're going to die tomorrow from X. But if you're willing to re-live your life from such-and-so a point, I'll step in at the right moment and fix X so this doesn't happen," then I'd be all like, "Whoops, time to go then, I guess. I am so not doing that again."
Because seriously, I look back at my life and say, "You couldn't pay me to be 20 again. Or 30. Or 35." I don't even think I'd want to do the last five years over again.
I share a birthday with:
Mary Wollstonecraft
Samuel Morse
U.S. Grant (he's got a place just south of here...)
Chris Carpenter
Roger Hornsby
Enos Slaughter (whoops, a trend)
Coretta King
Casey Kasem
Cuba Gooding
Ace Freely (OMG)
Russell T. Davies (w00t)
and a host of others found Wiki-able.
As far as going back to a "fix" point, .... well that would go back a long, long time.
This would actually be a great age if certain things hadn't happened along the way. Let's just say I was on track to be exactly where I wanted and how I wanted at age 45 and something beyond my control jacked it up.
That being said, I always thought 26 was the perfect age to be. You are old enough so that everyone considers you an Adult - no questions - but, you are still young enough that if you totally screw something up you will get the benefit of the doubt and they will say, "eh, he's young".
