Happy Birthday to me

Older, and wiser?

from JoeUser Forums
       Today is my birthday, and I'm 27 today (assuming my math is correct, I was born in 1978). Yet I'm generally depressed. I'm just not a happy person. I doubt this has anything to do with my birthday (age or other related events). My life is not what I want, I don't think it can be, I definetly don't know how to go about getting it there if it was possible. So I sit here being a whiny maggot (which I often call my brother, yet the title fits me just as well, if not better).
       I have this nice computer that I got as an early birthday present, yet I don't know if I really want it. I almost don't want a computer at all, yet it's what I spend my day using. (Is a nice computer and it was nice of my parents to give it to me, don't get me wrong at that) I have ideas for articles that I'm sure would be nice and such, but I don't write them (like anyone could confirm or deny that, actions speak louder then words and I don't talk much). I'm just too lazy and unmotivated, apathetic even. Oh well.
       Happy birthday to me, see you all in a year (and likely many times between now and then).

Happy Birthday, Danny, and may your next see you happier.

Keep writing, cause I read your stuff, but more importantly, LIVE YOUR LIFE!

If you could see me, I'd be doing a dorky little dance with this (Imagine a hoe-down from Who's Line)

THIS..... IS...... YOUR.....BIRTHDAY SONG.... IT ISN'T VERY LONG!! HEY!!

Or, the truly horrible operatic version of Happy Birthday. I can do that one too.

Or maybe you'd prefer Marylin Monroe?

hehehe....HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!! (that was sung drunk style, if you know what I mean)

Happy Birthday Danny!!! (and many moooooooooooore)

Happy Birthday to you Danny. Enjoy your day, eat a piece of pie or somethng, indulge yourself. I hope you will cheer up soon.

Hey, you know what, when life gives you lime, make lemonade, you know the saying! And if you hate lemonade, then make punch. Just live your life as Xtine says. And it's never too late to make changes in your life. One day you'll find the will and the way. OK, OK, I'll stop preaching now. I'm just saying...!

if you could see me, id be sewn into this really tight satin sheath and standing at the podium breathlessly whisper/singing 'happpppyyy
birth--dayyyy
mister
pressssident.

good thing you aint jfk and i'm not ms monroe cuz if that were the case, we'd both be outta birthdays.

actions do speak louder than words; in your case, you act frequently, offering encouragement to so many people here through your always very supportive, kind words. don't devalue that sorta accomplishment please.

if youre still running, go head out and do a few miles if for nothing else than to enjoy the feeling of being only 27 and remaining that way for another full orbit of the sun.

I second everyone's sentiments and add my own. I wish you joy this year. If it doesn't come to you, you have to go out and grab it by the neck and throttle the crap out of it. JoeUser would not be the same without you.

When you are feeling down you can always count your blessings. Here's a starter: Thank God I am not there to sing to you in person (it would be horrendous, take my word for it).

xtine: Who elses life would i live?
Sugar High Elf: I'd actually like to hear any version, since your the professional singer and all
foreverserentiy: Lemonade is good, so is limade, or just plain lemons and limes. Mom will probably make a nice cheesecake for later.
kingbee: I'll agree, it is good to say kind words and such, but I feel I should be doing more with my life, maybe next year.
Cordelia: Even if you are bad at singing, the company would be nice, I'll have my family at least
Texas Wahine: So people tell me, I almost believe them sometimes too.
Gideon: Sure, you can bury me, just make a map so I can be found again.
ParaTed2k: Are those purple letters?
Dr. Guy: Yep, got it last week, using it right now even.
Manopeace: Smiling more would be nice.
Ravenblack: Good things come to those who wait? Think I've waited enough?
dharmagrl: haha, typo
InBloom: I meant the whiny maggot comment as more in general then just today, but at least it made you laugh.
And thanks everyone for the happy birthdays

Where did I ever say that? *scratches head* I was just wishing opportunities for you. (And personally I believe good things come to those who get into actiont, not wait.)
