Back...

...at work - although my stomach is a little rumbly, however hopefully that is due to lack of food rather than being ill. I've no desire to partake of the taste and tang of stomach acid any more thank you very much.

Cake and life

Someones birthday today at work, he brought in cakes - I had a cinamen swirl. I met him at the canteen just before and he mentioned it was his birthday, to which I replied "25 again eh?". Pausing for thought for a moment I wonder why I chose 25 (Apart from the fact that he is blatently older than 25!) it's some kind of neutral age? Maybe for me, now sadly past 25 and several years on; is there a neutral age for each bracket - I mean pre 20 everything past 20 seemed ancient to me, once I hit 20 itself things began to seem a little more concrete as regards to age and 25 then 30 became the next milestones. Maybe it's just me wishing back to the last milestone I passed before I hit the next one next year (oh gawd).
Fear of the future or fear of age I wonder? 30 is after all another number and it's only significant because of the numerical system we use - after all the significant ages would be 16 and 32 if we counted in hex. Do numbers have such significance or am I just getting shallower?
Maybe I'm just counting years and 30 seems like a halfway point or something, as the 'best years' slide away day by day.
Maybe I should just finish my cake.
