I'm thirty-three-and-a-third years old, either today or tomorrow, depending on how you look at it. Tomorrow if you pretend that the year is made up of twelve months of equal length, today if you consider that it's 122 days since my 33rd birthday today. Anyway, it's official - I'm a long-playing record. I'm the somewhat disappointing second sequel to "The Naked Gun". I'm a third of the way through my life, assuming I fulfil my lifetime ambition of dropping dead on my hundredth birthday, just before the arrival of the telegram from the Queen, prompting all my friends to write back by return of telegram condemning her rudeness in sending a telegram to the deceased and upsetting everyone like that, and in turn causing Her Majesty to be so grief-stricken and mortified that she realises the error of her ways, abdicates, abolishes the monarchy and the government and institutes a perfect socialist utopia.
I'm going to celebrate it tomorrow, anyway. And by 'celebrate', I mean that I'm going to spend the whole day wailing, lamenting and screaming curses at the gods for allowing me to get so old. It'll be fun!

Do you also like Keane? :) (because of the headline I ask) As I read it I immediately had to think on a song of them and it continued in my head "...I'm getting old and I need something to rely on..."
Maybe you could find a pleasant answer to this song in other songs and I don't mean "..rip out the wings of a butterfly for your soul..." from a HIM-song, but rather "It's not time to make a change. Just relax, take it easy...". ^^
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them they know, not me...
And yes, I love Keane, especially "Hopes and Fears". So I thought it was only appropriate to quote them, since I noticed tonight that the world has been turning, while I've been stood here, dithering around...
I also would like that album the most, because most of the songs I like from them are in their beginnings.(Somewhere Only We Know, Everybody's Changing, This Is The Last Time,Bedshaped...)
Are you really going to change something in your life now? What would it be? I hope you'll at least stay a memoryathlete. Or are you just a little bit melancholic now?
