DJ...I envy your youth my friend...I wish I had 30 years back to give it a second go-round. I would probably place a few bets on the World Series too :)

Happy birthday! 30 is just the start of life. It's very much still on the young side. 30's are much better then 20's. You have the maturity and confidence, yet have the energy and drive. It's a good time in life to take charge of life.

Having too much sex can cause memory loss. I read that on page 69 in a medical journal on the 4th of May in 2008.

Yes, Happy Birthday DJ!

There was a woman where I worked who made birthday cakes for everyone. When I was turning 30, I felt like I had one foot in the grave, so I asked her to make my cake coffin-shaped and to color the frosting black. It turns out true black is a difficult color to achieve, and the frosting came out axle-grease grey. Color apparently affects a food's desirability, because nobody could eat very much of the piece they were given, including me. I am sure if I closed my eyes and just relied on taste it would have been fine.

And, as I was remembering this, I originally thought that the gloom-and-doom feelings would have been when I was turning 40. I am positive that this happened before my workplace got shut down and relocated to another state because I remember being in my original office with the cake on my battleship-grey desk. Doing the math for when that happened, however, means that I was "only" 33 when the closure happened. So, it MUST have been my 30th, and not my 40th, when the Greyt Cake Mistake happened.

Haha... I am a baker around Easter, I popped into my favorite baking supply shop to get coloring for my frosting. I saw they had kits with black, grey and brown. The photos on the box had a cupcake with black frosting. I thought to myself, "who would buy this and for what? Nasty." Haha... now I know who and for what type of cake. Haha... It is true color plays a big part in cakes. I tend to go for light colors like white, pink, lavender. I even find strong blues people will push the blue frosting. But they will eat a nice light pink and white rose. Often the flowers will have more frosting then the blue sections. Certain colors play such a big part in all this.

Hmmm.... maybe Gargamel should have tried some nice pink and white frosting roses on his dish:
