I just turned 33 – that must put me in the upper age range of ProBloggers many of whom seem to be in their 20s.
Any suggestions on how I should celebrate when I wake up in the morning?
My name is Darren Rowse and I’m a full time Blogger making a living from this new and dynamic medium from blogs like Digital Photography School and TwiTip - Twitter Tips.
Back in 2002 I stumbled upon an article about ‘Blogging’. I didn’t know it at the time but that moment changed my life. Since then I've become a full time blogger and have blogged on over 20 blogs and co-founded the b5media blog network.

Happy Birthday!!! Now, blow out the candles and make a wish. No 20 something blogger wishes allowed! Enjoy the 30’s. They’re better than the 40’s. imo.

Happy birthday, Darren! No, you’re not that much more older than me. We’re even both April celebrants! :-)

I’m 35, but I haven’t turned pro yet. I’m working on it.
I can’t remember what I did for my 33rd birthday, but I did hold a “1/3rd of a century” party four months later. I recorded it for the MayDay photo project. The second Saturday of MAy is now my official birthday and, Manchester weather permitting, one of our first barbecues of the year.

Well, since I am in marketing, I want you to know that the demo is 18-34, so you are as good as 18, so if that makes you feel better…

Happy birthday old man. I suggest you buy up 33 new sites just to turnaround and sell them again.

33? You’re still a mere child!
Keep up the great work and visit me in another 33 years.

Happy birthday. For a moment I thought you were asking if you should celebrate with a wake this morning, which I thought was a little premature for a guy of you tender years. I’m not in Geezerville yet, but 33 was a few years ago.

Happy birthday, Darren! Loving your blog, glad I found it. Although I run more of a content portal than a blog, your site is helpful. I’m 19 and have been doing the same site since I was 12 (!).

In the words of Pulp, “a man told me to beware of 33. He said, ‘It was not an easy time for me’ ”
I think there’s something in that for all of us…. hhhhmmm….

Happy birthday! I’ll be turning 36 soon, so at least you’re not all the way at the upper end of the age range…
