Sweet man. Happy birthday! Guess what? It's my birthday too! Serious. I'm leaving 26 and entering 27 as of today. I hate it. I just hate getting older. :) People are telling me 27 is a life changing year. I'm wondering if that's true. Can anyone validate that or not?

Hendrix, Joplin, and Morrison all went *vamoose* at age 27.  At age 27, Kurt Cobain took a double-barreled shotgun and blew his face off.  Ted Bundy was 27 when he began a career as a serial killer.  

I think for many there's a psychological letdown at age 27 because by then your too old to be a rock star; a movie star; a professional athlete; a motorcycle racer.  Like Peter Fonda says while sitting around the campfire in Easy Rider, "We blew it."

Luckily, you're never too old to dream about winning the lottery.  :)

I think I'd be much happier turning 21 today. 21 was a good year from what I remember. ;)

I'm turning 45 in a few months and wouldn't be in my 20s again for all the tea in China. Its taken me years to built a life that fits: right job, right house.... Apart from the body becoming more difficult to maintain, I think overall it just gets better.

And, BTW, I DID become a "rock star" for a few years when I turned 40-literally. I started my first tour 2 days after my 40th birthday. OK, not famous, but I did spend two years touring the country with a good band, playing to some great crowds, and making my living doing it.  

Don't worry about getting older. 27 WAS a big year for me, but so was 26, 30, 36, 40, and definetly 44.

Concerns about gottin' older?  I think William M has cracked this one, every year has the potential to be life-changing, brilliant or crap awful, its what you make it. Incidently my youngest is 35 today, am I worried?

You bet!

I agree with Cal Price on the "any year could be a life changer".  For example this last year my apartment burnt to the ground, killing my three cats and bearded dragon, my wife cheated on me then left, i got blackballed from a good job cause the guy she cheated on me with worked where I did, I had to give up my dogs that survived the fire cause with the divorce I couldn't afford to keep and fine a place that would allow them.  But on the bright side I have a wonderful girlfriend that I have been dating for a little over six months and I finally was able to get that motorcycle I always wanted.  It was a shitty year, but the only thing i would change was losing my three kitties.  Man no 23 year old should be able to say that........oh well  :cheers: and happy birthday
