Happy 27th Birthday Gregg!

Category: , ,


Turning 27 is kind of scary, my favorite musician of all time died at 27 years old - Kurt Cobain. When he died in 1994 I was only 14 years old and 27 seemed so far away, old and mature. I’m 27 now and I still feel like I act 14 years old. I still like all the same things that I did back then; video games, music, playing music, girls, animals. The big difference of me then and now is I used to play basketball on my Junior High team. The only exercise I do now is walk-run my dogs.

I’m now in my late 20’s and a hell of a lot closer to 30 than 20. It’s kind of scary how fast life goes and how all the people in your life constantly change. I don’t talk to one person on a consistent basis from my childhood. OK, so I didn’t have any friends when I was a kid and my imaginary friends hate my guts now because I’m a successful blogger, but why should they discriminate against me? I created them damn it! I feel like I have a group of core friends (2 or 3 people) that I always communicate with, but then I have this other group that is always revolving. I’m such a bad friend ha ha.

If I compare the way I looked at 21 years old and now at 27 years old, I’ve lost that baby face and gained about 20 pounds. It’s not that hard to watch yourself age because it happens so gradually that you barely see it happen, unless you’re like me and love having photos of yourself, especially in compromising poses. If I think of how I’ll look 6 years from now at 33 I figure I’ll have some more wrinkles on my face, be bald, 20 lbs heavier than I am now and with a lot more responsibility. Kids? Marriage?

If you guys would like to wish me an audio happy birthday, please feel free to call my hotline at 619-377-0593 or you can send me an Apple Gift card by clicking here.

    Happy Birthday… I hope you go home (unless you took today off) go on the internet, play some video games and go to bed at 8:30. Old freakin’ fart.

  18. gregg o'connell March 6th, 2007 9:32 am

    erica: thanks! i was in bed last night at 7pm, then i watched Flushed Away until i fell asleep haha

  19. dirty March 6th, 2007 9:56 am

    If I have to watch Flushed Away one more time I will go insane.

    Going to bed is so over-rated.

  20. gregg o'connell March 6th, 2007 9:58 am

    dirty: flushed away kind of sucked…i wasnt impressed..but i am 27 years old and don’t really fit the 8 year old demographic

  21. dirty March 6th, 2007 10:00 am

    I like some kids movies…that one just blows. I want to flush it away.

    Happy Birthday Gramps!!

    I’m not far behind you!!

  24. Xtina March 6th, 2007 7:57 pm

    Gregg, in honor of your birthday, rather than contributing to some silly computer, I named a star after you…greggoconnell.com. Since you’e an international bloglebrity, it seemed the appropriate thing to do.

    But seriously, Happy Happy Birthday!

  25. gregg o'connell March 6th, 2007 8:39 pm

    boob lady: thx sweetie

    Xtina: hehe thanks i always wanted a star named after me!
    i wanted it way more than a computer :P

  26. The Boob Lady March 6th, 2007 9:22 pm

    Gregg!! I used up all my long distance minutes and left you a message on your birthday hotline!!

    Hooray!

  27. Ed March 7th, 2007 3:50 am

    Happy birthday! You’ll be pleased to know it’s all downhill from here. 27, you are in your prime. My hair started falling out at this point. Have you checked your comb??? On the bright side when I get up in the morning everything hurts…. Just kidding, enjoy the day.

  28. gregg o'connell March 7th, 2007 4:26 am

    boob lady: i got it thank you…your voice is as sexy as demi moore!

    ed: thx for the god wishes :P

  29. The Boob Lady March 7th, 2007 10:06 am

    Really? Demi Moore?

    I’m sexy, but shit, I didn’t know I was that good.
