  • Thank you to everyone who helped me have a wonderful 40th birthday. One thing it really drove home for me is that all of the things I feel best about in my life are the times when I've given my time and skill and money to other people.

    I am not surprised that Hank pretended to have a British accent for a year when he was younger and has also pretended to be 40 for two whole years

      I did nearly the same thing. Last year I’d tell people I’m nearly 40 the whole year I was 39. I thought of 40 as a huge milestone as if it’s when I might actually be adultish. I love being 40 I am kinda sad to be leaving it and turning 41 this year.

      I went to high school with a dude that pretended to have a really obnoxious beetles-esque british accent for ALL FOUR YEARS of high school.
      I have never actually heard this guy's actual voice. I interacted with him on a near daily basis for a full 3 years, and I have no idea what his actual accent sounds like.
      I know the British thing was fake, because people that have known him much longer than I have told me it was. they also told me that he only does this British thing at school. He talks in his normal accent outside of school. He's never even been to the UK, much less grew up there.
      It was just a stupid bit that he stuck to for a solid 4 years.

    When I was 28, there was a time I was waiting for a train and talking with some of my co-workers who were a few years younger than me. I let slip out that I was 28, and my friend Kristin went "oh, wow, so you're like, almost 30 then?" And at that moment I had a panic attack at the epiphany that I was turning 30. 2 years later when I finally turned 30, a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. I wasn't turning 30, but I was now 30. Nothing was different. Everything was different.

  • @VideoNozoki

    I totally did that (pre- new- "zero" birthday, started saying I was that older age long before the birthday....
    (e.g. Before 30, before 40, 50, etc....) It really took the edge off the shock of the birthday.
    When I was juuust 29 and saying I was 30... people saying for 6-8 months, "REALLY! Wow! You don't look 30 at all! I would have guessed, I don't know,...28, maybe even 27...." felt so good.) Really made the accepting 30 or 40 when it actually came, soooo much easier. (maybe not healthy I suppose, but it really helped me)
    PS- Hank, you have accomplished SO much more than I have at 50, you have nothing to be ashamed about!

    I’m so glad you had a good birthday Hank! I’m also pretty selfishly glad that I got to witness it because it has lifted my spirits.

    Thank you Hank, I am about a month younger than you, so 40 is forthcoming for me too! This is such a positive message for us 80's babies. I don't know if this was a thing where you lived when you were a kid, but when anyone turned 40 back in the 80s it always seemed like the birthday person was resigned to the "HERE COMES DEATH" Birthday. I saw so many black balloons, cakes with tombstones with RIP written in frosting, a true doomsday message for the recipient. It doesn't feel like that for us Xennials. The message has changed for us. I hope it stays positive for Orin and my 3 yo niece's generation.

    How does this 40-year-old man look like a college student in their 20s when I, a recent college graduate in their 20s, look like a 40-year-old man?

    @shannonwalls7573 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I am right there with you Hank! 40 knocked me right out of my socks. I usually starting saying I am the next year up about 2 months before my B-Day so I can get used to it. But I feel like I need a much longer lead up to 50 so I've started saying it now, many months in advance, so hopefully I'll be used to it by the time I get there.

  • @brendal3676
    @brendal3676 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Happy Birthday, Hank! My elementary school used to use All Star as our school song because our mascot was a Star, and we opened the year after the Shrek movie came out. Only one verse and a chorus though. My sister and I even tried to write more but nothing came of it. I always wondered if they still sing the song or if music copyright law has snuck up on them 😂

    This was a great start to my 25th birthday! I’m glad you were able to enjoy your 40th Hank, and congratulations on the milestone in livelihood! Also that was a funny song that I will probably have to explain to my neighbor now seeing how thin my walls are. XD

    Great tip, I’ve got 6 months before I catch you up, might start doing that. That is some cool art and tshirt, good gifts. Was not expecting such a mature theme in song, but I enjoyed your embellishments.

    To respond to what you said in the end, it is so amazing how doing stuff for others can take us out of this time and give some joy. Planning for my mom's birthday and mother's day has been such a nice break from everything.
