30

And today, I finally turn 30. I've been grumpy about this day getting closer and closer for the last three or four years, which have passed in front of my eyes with me nearly not noticing.

The last year has had more downs than ups, and at times has been quite dark. I feel things are slowly getting better, and I spend more time looking forward than back, which certainly should help.

Tomorrow I'll hold a small party at home with some friends, but the big and proper event will be in September, when five or six people in our colla, born in 1978, will celebrate our 30th birthday, in a massive, weekend-long party already dubbed La festa dels excessos. You shouldn't miss this one!

Thanks to the many people who have phoned, texted or emailed me already. It reminds me that I'm surrounded by people who love me and were there when I needed them.

Whoa, 30. That's a long time to be gay!

The age is like a 600€ cat escaping the first time you open the door.

I also celebrated my 30th birthday this year but due to other activities only a few friends were celebrating with me. So I consider to celebrate the 31st birthday in a large way - and it is a prime anyway.

Maybe I'll switch to celebrating prime birthdays only :-)

Per molts anys Jordi! (Happy Birthday!)

Happy birthday! But the embrace of the internet, while super-well intentioned, is not as warm as friends at hand. Have fun at els excessos :)

Don't let the hype get you down. Turning 30 is awesome. I'll be doing it in 2018 - exciting to think how awesome FOSS will be by then!!!

We don't know each other, but please allow me to offer you a bit of counsel: fuhgeddabaoudit! I just turned 50, and I can tell you, it's ALL in the mind! Well, maybe a bit in the knee joints, etc., but not too much to worry about! Like Jordi says, enjoy the sex!
