Going past 40

turned 42 a few days back and instead of partying was laid up in bed, did get a bit upset but then hey all the bad stuff finished on the first day so now the rest of the year is going to be fun.
You know growing up in years is not all that cool, besides the fact that one has to start behaving like an adult ( at some point ) the responsibilities get you man.
Not that I'm complaining , i think i have managed pretty well but hey give me a year of just chilling out. My mother and i have decided when my son turns 18 we are going to have a year of free time and just me. Ha ha as if.
Talking to my cousin the other day and we both agreed that 20 was fun, and we did a lot too. So the consensus is that they who say 40's are the best years of my life are liars or they did not have fun in their earlier days.
Actually leave my complaints aside, the best part is watching my hero son grow. not a cake walk but oh so much of fun. he is a handful and growing years are difficult for him but he is fun, and guess turning 42 is worth it when i see him.
