Chicken, yeah that's me
Mon, February 9, 2009 at 5:50 AM I hate to be the one to bring it up, but there are a few of us who will reach a fairly significant milestone this year--FORTY. 4-0. Foe-tee. Four damn decades. For-fucking-ty.
Me, thrilled? HELL NO! But, I'm taking a small bit of comfort in the fact that others before me have survived AND a bloggy friend is going through this too! And she's first! Kirsten celebrated her big fortieth this weekend. Hopefully she'll tell me it wasn't that painful or at least offer some tips on how to block out all memory of the occasion!
Personally I think we're pretty damn special, I mean we are '69 babies. That's a memorable position year, right? Plus we were born in the year of the COCK! Rooster. Male chicken. Future KFC meal. So that's cool.
Oh, and I was reading about Roosters and the synopsis said that we're, "deep thinkers, capable, and talented". OF COURSE! Was there any doubt? It also mentioned "eccentric", but you can't really trust EVERYTHING you read on the internetz.
Something I didn't know is that Roosters Chickens are compatible with Ox, Snake, and Dragon. The Ox makes sense cuz they're strong, hardworking and usually well hung (I'm guessing), but the Snake and Dragon are predators! What the hell? I'm snack-size for those dudes! Maybe us Chickens aren't meant to lead long lives? Okay, so I might be lucky to be turning forty. But still. . . "cluck-cluck".

My name is Quirkyloon and you killed my rooster, (swipes sword in the air) prepare to die!
I WISH I were turning 40 this year. Sigh.
And what they say is true. It's all downhill after 40. I've been in 40's for about five years and it sucks.
On that happy note....have a wonderful and special day! lalallalalalalalalalaaaaaaaaaaaa
I think I forgot my happy pill today. Sorry! hee hee

Aw, but 40 is only in your mind!... And on your birth certificate and driver's license.
But your mind. Mostly your mind. :)

As I motor over the hill of my mid-50s (a few years ago) I like to think 60 is the new 40. And, in that case, 40's lookin' mighty fine. Hey, you can call me delusional, but ya doesn't have to call me old!

40 is for babies! Shit, wait until 50. Believe me 40 is NOT old. It is when the sex gets really really good. Well, that is what I was told. Lying bastards!

I was in my prime at 40. Those were the best years of my life. Fifty wasn't all that great and now I'm looking at 60 in several years. Enjoy your forties. They indeed rock if you let them!
Have a terrific day. :)

You really want to feel old? Have a baby AFTER you turn 40.
The night before I turned 40, I had about twenty minutes of "OMG! 40! I'm going to die! and get wrinkes!" but then I snapped out of it. I feel damn lucky to have birthdays. Have a great one!

40 is easy. Because your "just 40." It's 41 when you really understand that you're into it and there's no turning back.

I love it! I was so clueless then. When I look back at some of the songs we used to listen to and I totally missed what they were talking about!
I don't know why, but I got exceptionally depressed on approaching my 40th birthday. I was in a major funk for a year leading up to that. Funnily, my 50th didn't bother me at all.
I was OK with my age as a now 56-year-old until I started hearing all of you 69'ers bitch and moan about how old you are getting as you turn 40 yourself. Alright, I know it's hypocritical of me to complain about your moaning considering how badly I took my 40th, but if you're getting old, I'm getting dead.
Don't get me wrong I'm all for you 69'ers. But that might be something else. It's just that you 69'ers ... wait a minute, my mind got fixated on the number 69 and I forgot where I was going with this. Never mind.

According to Jay-Z 30 is the new 20. So I suppose that makes 40 the new 30. Which, by transitivity, makes 40 the new 20.

You may be 40, but you've got the wit of a 20 year old! Just browsed through your blog as a beginning blogger. Hilarious.

The most amazing thing about this is that you don't seem to make the corellation between Cock, Snake, or Dragon!
Obviously, you've not had a long-term relationship, otherwise you'd know that any MAN would be proud to know he was compatible with some phallic reference!

The year of the cock is 69? How did I not know this before? My mind is constantly in the gutter. I'm sure I've had to have come across this before.

I'm still here and coherent, so I must have survived turning 40. I think. Hey, look at it this way: you are actually celebrating the END of your 40th year in existence on your 40th b'day and the beginning of your 41st year. I always like to look at the up side.

Don't sweat it. 40 is the new 30. And plastic surgery has come a long way. You've got nothing but good stuff ahead.
