hey man i'm not too far behind you on that age stuff. doesn't it feel weird as hell posting here when you realize you were doing the exact same thing back when you were a decade younger than you are now? a lot of internet forums have kicked the bucket in that 10-year time frame yet these forums are still up (and on top of that, almost entirely unmodified) and provide a sort of connection to our younger selves in a way (if that makes any sense). just don't go looking back at your first posts unless you want to die of embarrassment.
p.s. happy birthday (probably should have started this post with that lol)
