The Tkday
I feel so ‘cool’ this morning! I learned something totally new. It is like the wildest thing ever…for this week at least. I know something that the guy sitting next to me at the McDonalds Restaurant doesn’t know. I know what ‘Tkday’ is now!
The ‘Tkday’ is…from the Urban Dictionary….
“It is your 10,000th day alive. You'll reach your Tkday when you're about 27 years, 3 months and 15 days. It's a big day. You've finally moved from being a four figure day person to a five figure day person and you'll always now be a five figure day person.On you're Tkday you actually become an adult. Forget 16th, 18th or 21st birthdays - you don't actually know anything then. But on your Tkday you should really have worked out that life's a bit tricky and things aren't going to work out exactly as you'd hoped but that you do have a couple of good friends.”
It marks your rite of passage…specially if in 2008 you are a ‘20 something’.
In the good old days of my youth a right of passage happened at a couple of special year markers.
I can remember the 13th Birthday – now I was officially a teenager. Wow – I could do all the things that a teenager did. I think that was when I stopped playing “Cowboys and Indians” and graduated to “Cops and Robbers” – but if any one else that was a teen showed up I dropped the gun in a bush nearby and stood there trying to look cool. When the redheaded Jo-Anne, who was 15 years old, from across the way – I carefully put the gun down – then picked it up when she went away.
I can remember the turning point at 16 years old too. That was ‘drivers license day’. The guys that turned 16 on a weekend were behind those of us that turned during the week. On your 16th birthday you were able to get your driving license. You moved from driving with your dad in the car to all the privilege and strength of cruising alone down a big empty street in a Big Powerful Car. For months your dad had helped you try out driving in the field nearby – or on the farm. Most of us had been behind the wheel a number of times before the 16th birthday.
Then there was the 21st birthday. That meant voting and being able to drink booze legally. A number of my friends did just that. That wasn’t too important to me as I was busy preparing for an exam that nearly killed me at the University I was attending. The 21st was kind of a fizzle as I remember – alone in a residence with a bunch of guys that could care less.
My Tkday began in an apartment in Oakville, Ontario, Canada. I was the father of two little girls that were at home with their mom. The pay was reasonable as a Computer Technician. I had lots of customers that wanted service now… minutes after their machine broke down…but would get in line in waiting for me. Oh the power of that position.
My Tkday was close to the time that I met Tim Horton – a famous hockey player in the USA and Canada. He and some partners opened a Coffee Shop in Oakville along with two others in the Hamilton area. I installed and maintained their business machines. I got to meet him in his Board Room – the dining room of the old house next door to the first Coffee Shop – Corporate Headquarters for the Tim Horton’s Coffee chain.
This Tkday and its odd idea that you “should really have worked out that life's a bit tricky and things aren't going to work out exactly as you'd hoped but that you do have a couple of good friends”… is important to a 27 year in 2008.
In 1971 when I went through it as a very late “Builder” married to a “Baby Boomer” – we knew we had to live/work another 13,740 before we would get a pension of some sort. Now in 2008 – in the shocking reality for me that means 409 more days for now… Oh boy!
Tkday is the new lingo and description for the “Gen Y’ people that are two groups behind the Baby Boomers.
But just knowing that Tkday is a term and has great meaning makes me as an older gentleman – feel ‘cool’…or ‘hip’…or not so dumb.
But hey… I am more progressive than just Tkday, I know that the following too…
Tjotjotjol – means ‘something is cool’ – usage…
“OMG. I own U. Tjotjotjol”
Tjamls - A mistyped form of "thanks" originating on the World of Warcraft Cenarius server – usage… Tjamls for helping me with that mob; Tjamls for the rez.
O Lawd - Kinda like saying "Oh lord". Obviously, "Oh" = "o", and "Lord" = "LAWD". Saying LAWD instead of LORD is like saying LAWL instead of LOL. Usage…
I HAX U
O LAWD! WHAT AM I GONA DO NOW?
Hax - Something deemed unfair or unexpectedly unfavorable. Could be used to accuse someone of using cheating/hacking/some sort of trickery to accomplish something, usually jokingly.
Usage…
Ceren: too bad you didnt defend the rear of your base Guardel has been eliminated.
Guardel: that is such hax.TriviaBot: Who is the mana element?
Guardel: driad
Guardel: dryda
Ceren: dryad
TriviaBot: Ceren has the correct answer -- Dryad!
Guardel: dryad
Guardel: hax!
The lesson of Tkday… in 2008… for anyone over 27… they aren’t looking at you with disgust or irreverence… they just “dunno what to say”
But “what” is a country – i.e. Do they speak English in "what"?
And “say” is like a word meaning "hey!" or "you there!" To get someone's attention, often in anger or when one is on crack. Say playa! why do yo lie to me man! I ain't seen no money!
Perhaps today – February 28 – is a new day for you too…
Happy New Day! Have a Great One and Remember – God Luvs U
