Red Shell - I'm 20 Today

It's happening so fast; I can't even forget the massive messages and wishes I received last year when I turned 19. Loku told me it was the "golden age" of life; now I seem to understand some of it...
Reading message after message off my phone, which hadn't stopped since I turned it on this morning; Thanking everyone who wished me a happy birthday; gathering my thoughts about everything; opening presents; reading cards; All making it so wierd because usually I never received so much attention. Strange really, when you turn old, you feel a strange pleasure, knowing you're becoming less and less energitic, less creative, less lively, and increasingly dull, numb, old, stupid - strange really.
Perhaps that's because it's a checkpoint of some sort in your life; every year, you check your own account: how much gained, how much spent, how much is the balance. So while I thought about everything, I gained... Quite handsomely. And I'm glad.
This means more possiblities have been unlocked in the game of life; as well enjoy them.
So much here... I'm likely to abandon my blog for another month......
Regards, a 20-year-old man, Timm.

I watch your wonderful progress and, as I have aid to you before, I wish you good fortune in all your endeavours. I do not mean to 'embarass' you publicly but I remind you of how highly you are regarded and the deep esteeem in which we, your constant friends, hold you in this Opera Community. While it is true that fortune turns on the wind and one must be prepared to meet storms and to experience sudden change, sometimes unexpected, unforseen, I am willing to bet that the collective affection that many here have for you, because of your refreshing, diligent, warm enthusiastic approach to all things (and these are only a few of the attributes I cite), will not turn on any wind to come. We love you and respect you and we are enriched by your prose and all the interesting and exciting things you tell us, dear Timm. Thank you for this. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
