Congradulations and Happy Birthday!
You are now offically an old man.
In the comming months you will notice certain changes.
Your eyeglass prescription will go from standard to Bifocal, or if you didnt need glasses before, you now will.
You will find it harder to get up in the morning. And when you do get up you will find yourself making those strange groaning noises your father used to make from time to time.
You will also notice your body making "snapping" noises as you move into certain positions. Same sound as cracking your knuckles on it wont be your knuckles.
Your ears and nose will start growing longer hairs that you will actually want to trim.
Your eyebrow hair will have to be trimmed now also. Unless you like that "Baltar" look from the original Battlestar Galactica.
Oh and forget entering any races with anyone over the age of sayyyy 14.
While you still may be in pretty good shape and will still be able to hold your own in a great many things. Those legs aint gonna wanna move as fast as they used to. Or as fast as your mind is telling them to. And you will look ridiculous.
Your best hope is that your opponent will look over his shoulder at you and suddenly fall down laughing at your old man stride.
You will discover why "Midnight Snacks" are called that
You will suddenly be more concerned with keeping weight off then putting weight on.
But all this will be ok and do you know why?
Your donut will still work fine.
As a friend of mine once said. "I dont care what else happens. Just as long as my donut still works"
