Everyone celebrates a little more when they turn 18, 21, 30, 40, 50 etc. They are seen as milestone moments, but when you think about it they come along at least every 10-years so why when something even more rare comes along do we not celebrate it at all? Probably because it is too hard to keep count to 10,000 but that is the number I missed out on celebrating by just five days. Yep, just five days ago on Wednesday 13 May 2009 I turned 10,000 days old. Pretty dam big huh and I missed out on a big time party, I even spent the event in a shopping centre buying a ‘normal birthday’ present for someone else!!

To get an idea of the significance of this I won’t celebrate my 20,000 days old birthday until 28 September 2036. If the skeptics have their way, by then the world will have ended long ago either through Nuclear war, global warming, financial meltdown, alien invasion, metior strike or all of the above.

So here is a belated 10,000 days old to me five days to late. Maybe I’ll open a beer to that tonight.
