Happy Birthday Matt!
Wouldn't mind shaving a few years off of my age but I don't think I would want to be that young again. I'd probably make the same mistakes all over again! Hmm...I think I might go for being about 35 again. That sounds just about right for me.

Don't rush it Matt. Once you hit 30 its a fast down hill ride and it speeds up with each passing year! Seems to me it should be just the opposite. The older one gets time should go by a tad more slowly but alas thats just not the way of things. Whats that 'ol saying......"Youth is wasted on the young".

Happy B-day Matt, and good look finding the misses.

Happy Birthday Matt
Treat life as adventure, do not expect too much you will never be disappointed.
Every Day above ground is a bonus. The day I wake up dead I will be really pi#*ed off so watch out.
