This is the last day of my thirty fifth year. I maybe halfway through my life but I think I've done all the main bulletpoints which I set as my goals. Married with kids, big tv and family car. I still write a diaryfilm, watch films, read and play games consoles. 
Nothing has changed from when I was a teen. 
As long as when someone mentions my age they never proceed it with the phrase "today he would have been.." then I'm happy, as someone once said "being my age is better that the alternative"
