Advice on my 27th birthday

So I turned 27 years old last week. My girlfriend bought me a "Happy First Birthday" card in comedic fashion. What sage advice would you give me? What life lesson? Helpful tidbit? Anything, really.

As you make your way through life whatever be your goal keep your eye upon the doughnut and not upon the hole.

Happy Birthday Bradley! I'm 17 by that count now...almost old enough to vote!

I would say to venture into the expereintial, and avoid hanging out in the cerebral too much of the time. Living in one's head can become a great way of avoiding mistakes, but it's an even better way of avoiding great experiences. Take risks, live large, and make enough mistakes to make sure you're always learning.

Take care.

Your advice was greatly appreciated and well noted. You said:

Now, I've always been the cerebral type. I'm an INTP on the Meyer's-Briggs personality test if that means anything to you. But lately I've started to think that that is not best, that actual experiences count more than mental ones. Been thinking like a Nietzschean lately.

But, how does one avoid a myopic subjectivism, though?

Bradley, I think you are doing a great job at living. You've really come a long way since I first started getting to know you and I'm very proud of you! Look at what you've done in the last year....smoked a cigar, visited a topless bar, embarked on a relationship, gotten laid, gotten banned on a discussion board. I can't give you too much advice because I'm not that much older than you but I think you are going in the right direction!

Only thing I can think of is use more smilies...they're fun!

Well, for starters, you can stop using phrases like "myopic subjectivism" in conversation. ;) just kidding. i don't have any good advice. you seem to have your head screwed on pretty straight to me. argue with more cute girls, maybe ;)

luv ya bradley, happy first b-day. ;)

Happy birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. My you live a hundred years. May you drink a thousand beers. Get plastered you ............ bad boy, Happy Birthday to you. Well, on a more serious note, now that you are 27, live to be 28. I followed that advice for many years, and now I am 63. Hey, just enjoy every day.

Hey Runner! Happy B-day! If you want to live a long time, pick your parents well and keep having birthdays! Lots and lots of birthdays! One centenarian was quoted, when asked about living to 100, what his secret was? His reply," I never drink while the sun is up, and I never go to bed sober!" Maverick
