Why Is This Day Different Than Any Other Day?
So, um, if there’s a particular reason why you might leave me a ripple on Nov. 6, feel free to do so here and not in the Ted Haggard post. That would just be weird.
That is all.

I hope you’re having a good one! And enjoy many more different days in the future!
The “Happiness Is...” pics are great. As is your whole site. I enjoy it often.
Looking forward to seeing you in June.

Why is it that this post, the one before it, and all the comments are from some alternate universe in a language that I don’t understand. It’s like being in the UK, I know they’re speaking English..but I can’t understand it…

This is what happens when I’m such a cryptic doofus. Today’s my birthday, see. But I felt sorta strange about just putting up a post saying, “Yippee! Today’s my birthday!” So I had to write in some veiled sanskrit code that only like 10 people in the world would understand.
For some bizarre reason, after foisting almost 100,000 words on you kind souls over the past few months, it’s this that feels self-indulgent.
Never let it be said that I don’t have issues.
So, um, yeah. I’m older now.
The only saving grace is that I have good friends that are even more cryptic than I. I think the green frog has something to do with a spanish teacher bestman and I had 13 years ago. But for most of the day, that one completely baffled me.
So what about the previous post confuses you?

Welcome to the 30-something world!

Why thanks!
I was going to make a comment about how I did the thirty thing last year, so this world is starting to feel a little more comfortable to me.
But then I realized that until yesterday, I was in the thirty-nothing world. And this might be totally different. Hmmm…
Well, at least now I can watch thirtysomething and get all the jokes. There were jokes, right?

Well, shoot! I missed it. Y’know, I wondered about that but I felt kinda funny asking.
You young folks still celebrate birthdays. I’m over that now. The hill, that is.
Happy Birthday, sir! It’s a day late, but I’ll have a beer in your honor later tonight.
Blessings.

Okay, sign me up as one of those people that isn’t good at decoding cryptic messages. You don’t want me on your team in a Prison Break type of situation.
Just for the record, and based totally and completely on the amount of wisdom that I’ve read from your blog, I just assumed you were this really hip, but older than thirtysomething guy. Your life just seems to have a balance I didn’t think people found until they were...oh, 50 or so. So take that as a complete and total comment, if you can.
*Mr. GoingApe wants it known that he in no way endorses my above statement.

You thought I was like twice your age? Wowsers.
I mean, it would be fine if I was, I guess. But I’m just so not.
I think it best that I just, um, consider myself flattered and move on. That way, I won’t internalize the impression that y’all are giving me that I write like a 50-year-old alien clown.
Now if you’ll excuse me, my back’s acting up again. Where did I put my pills?
Nicole says:

*Sigh* I know, Zalm, some ideas I should just keep to myself. Also, I think that I tend to assume that all people anywhere near my age have no free time and no money. I think I assumed you were older because you tend to have a real life, one that involves doing all sorts of cool things and such. My bad, my bad. Okay, shuttin’ up now. I think I’ve effectively swallowed my foot completely.
How will I ever make it up to you?

Y’know what would’ve REALLY been interesting? If you’d had 88 ripples on *this* post, including several repeat visits from people who hadn’t met (or even “bmet") you before…
Jim says:
November 16, 2005 at 8:11 pm
Here’s one more on the way to 88. I smell a campaign.
