Dear friends and followers, today is my birthday!
(The first one, who guesses my age will get 2 SBDs from me.)
You can see me to the right wearing two of my birthday presents:
An amazing shirt designed by the talented @yoganarchista, which my wife ordered for me at her spreadshirt shop. She offers many different psychedelic animal designs, but I really wanted this blue lion.
The second present was a Xiaomi Mi Band fitness tracker, which hopefully will help me getting back in shape ;-)
My first birthday
For the records here is another photo of me at my 22nd birthday. This was actually the first birthday, that I really celebrated, because I grew up in a christian cult, that banned celebrating birthdays.
After I left the cult being 18 years old, it took some time to accept being someone special on that certain day.
But as you can see, I was very pleased by some great art-presents.
Happy birthday mate! I hope you will have art, women and Bier vom Fass in abundance.

I see your bday has been guessed correctly. You look younger for sure. You hide behind your beard. It is so nice to see you. I am a huge fan - I think you know. I hope you had a great day. Thanks for sharing your past too. I'm not very good at celebrating my own existence either. It is nice when those around you appreciate you though. 😊🎉🎈🎁

Ah, thanks so much for your nice words :-) I'm really happy about anyone who is appreciating me and my work. And I'm really thankful, that you're one of them :-) This said, my day could not have been better! Thanks again :-))

Happy 48th Birthday! I was going to guess 42. That T-shirt rocks!

Thank you so much! As 42 is the answer to all questions, you are also right with your guess ;-) The shirt is really cool! @yoganarchista did an amazing job!

Happy B-Day, @shortcut!
I don't know about your history, but don't you let anyone deprive you of celebrating your birthday again. Or any party for that matter!
I'm guessing 44: 2x22 :) Enjoy your day!

Thanks a lot @marty-art for guessing me younger than I am! - My personal history is one of the reasons, I'm really critical about religion in general. So hopefully I will never accept such nonsense again ;-)

birthdays are always tricky, the older you get the trickier they get, im coming up to a landmark birthday and i am not sure how i feel about it or how i am supposed to feel - all in all its always good to be alive though ..... happy birthday fella :)

Thank you very much!
I second that, it's definitely good to be alive. Society always wants us to be young and beautiful... But in my opinion what you do is more important than what you are.

Happy birthday mate! I wish you a lot of inspiration, many more awesome artwork from you in the next year that i can upvote!
Considering you current age... if you were 22 on that other photo i would say you have turned 23 today as you did not change much lol

Thanks a lot for your good wishes @bescouted - I guess I look a lot older than I feel right now. In my younger years, I always looked much younger, than I was... Maybe that's the reason, why I don't care much about it anymore.

Super nice gifts you got and the tshirt through the Steemit community. Even without a proper marketplace, shopping anf trading is executed. How cool!

Thanks a lot! There are so many talented people in this community and I love the idea of buying goods from fellow steemit artists.
I already bought an artwork by @yoganarchista, two prints by @mikkolyytinen and an ebook by @technovedanta before. It's so easy: If you see something you like, just ask for it ;-)

So cool! I never took the time to look for art that I would like to buy, 1 out of 3 I kinda follow. I bookmarked your comments here for later review; will for sure check out the other two.

Today I just started my passivity experiment. I'm taking a long break, I'll just be doing a little musical post a day, and using all of my voting for the music lovers who make their way there.
But I had to cheat and come by and thank you for the bommerang! Hope you had a great birthday, when you get a chance check out the guitarist on my passivity post -- he's absolutely amazing.
BTW, I rarely look at Twitter, but this morning, thanks to your birthday photo, I made the connection that we are following each other ! :-)
:-)

Glad you made an exception from your passivity experiment.
I can totally understand, that reading, voting and commenting can become a full time job... but I'm very happy to see, that you'll still be around and I will try to give your posts some extra-attention, while your experiment lasts.

I got a surprise this morning, Barbara Dennerlein saw my steemit post. It must have appeared in her google/news/alert. Anyway, she really enjoyed the post and the comments -- I guess I will post a bit of her message on my post today. Maybe we will get some jazz artists to join the platform -- I think that would be great.
Thanks so much for your support and for understanding. I guess I should post and clarify that my "passivity" does not mean I won't be checking out my favorite blogs on Steemit. Only now it will be more relaxed.
At least for now, it seems wise to me to keep my voting in a closed loop tied to my passivity experiment posts. That way I can give my 100% vote to those music friends who visit and leave a comment. Hopefully that will also help to increase the viewership a bit.

This is really cool! Barbara Dennerlein and other well known artists could really make a difference.
I can understand your motiviation to do this "passivity experiment". I also started voting for every comment, people leave under my posts, some time ago. This way I want to support the engagement and build a strong relationship to my followers at the same time.
