His argument is well thought out, especially the part about the ravioli, but I disagree. I mean, how else do you “keep score”? Here is a list of a bunch of nerdy, meaningless, or simply depressing milestones you can celebrate between the time you turn 21 until you reach 40.
Feel free to celebrate, but don't expect presents on a lot of these days. In fact, when you tell someone when you turn 36 years, 8 months, and 16 days old that light leaving the Earth on the day you were born is just now reaching the star Arcturus, don't expect anything more positive than "Huh. No kidding." In addition, you may also expect to suddenly and violently have less lunch money than you did before you mentioned that fact.
Alternatively, you can use the list as a convenient excuse for when you forget someone else's birthday. For example, you are sitting there and you suddenly realize that your buddy's 31st b-day was two days ago. Do you send a lame apology text to soothe your nagging conscience? Hell, no! You nerd-up, make him a collage out of elbow macaroni and Dungeons and Dragons dice and wish him a "Happy Pi Cubed Day"... Totally on purpose, you BFF, you!
For a quick translations from the numbers below to real dates just go to WolframAlpha, type in mm/dd/yy + xx.xx years (a date, a plus sign, the number, then the word 'years')
I had a huge spiel to go with many of the items below, but this post is already too darn long. Without further ado, here is the list of nearly-useless milestones for you... say... did I mention that this was my 200th post as SnowUrchin?
Well, it is. Enjoy.
