For all the advances in medicine, there is still no cure for the common birthday. -- John Herschel Glenn
Well, it's my birthday. I don't feel any different than I did yesterday. Now birthdays just cause me to think about
Three decades on this planet and I've accomplished nothing.
By 30:
Alexander the Great had conquered most of the known world. Died at age 32
King Henry V of England defeated the French in decisive battles at Calais, Agincourt. Died at age 35
Christopher Marlowe wrote 7 plays, invented blank verse, and basically provided the foundation for English Renaissance drama. Died at age 29.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart had written 38 Symphonies and 10 operas. Died at age 35.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death.
Well I guess I might have a few more years to do something great.
To think, when one is no longer young, when one is not yet old, that one is no longer young, that one is not yet old, that is perhaps something. - Samuel Beckett
i mean, can it??<worrying>
