Birthday philosophy

It was my cousin's birthday the other day. He is at one of those ages: great job, nice car, carefree life and too happy! You guessed right - time to tie the knot!! Sometimes one starts to get a little philosophical when pressure builds up. And here is what he had to say about each birthdays (till 28th).
And with my little further experience, I couldn't help adding a couple more at the end. Hopefully you'll get a sense of deja vu too as I did reading through.. :-)
