Everyone is now asking me what i want for my birthday, there’s this strange pressure that because it’s a milestone birthday, you have to have something lavish, people say “you’re only 50 once you know!” but you’re also only 49 once too! and the truth is, i dont know, i haven’t got the foggiest idea of what I want.

To be honest id be happy with a couple of bottles of rum, maybe a bottle of red wine, and the obligatory things you’d buy your dad on father’s day, things like socks, pants and some Lynx toiletries!!

It’s just another birthday.

Edit: i was mainly referring to the presents that some people want to buy me, rather than things to actually do. I’m having the usual birthday bash, so don’t go thinking I’ll be moping around the house!!

    Well you did something big for 49, right? You’re only 7 squared once. Now you have to wait until 64.

      Pff, you should be celebrating 64 because it’s 2^6, not 8^2. For most people it’s the last binary power age. I guess eventually someone will reach 2^7, though I’d say we’re pretty far off 2^8, if it’s even possible in the far future.
