Blow Me
It's my birthday, bitches!
There are two things you're suppose to do on your birthday: celebrate yourself and make a wish. When my buddy Wes recently clocked into the big 3-4, he made sure to celebrate himself with as much self-love and fanfare as he wanted by making the day all about him. And why shouldn't he? He's a fantastic man who's grown and overcome a ton to accomplish exactly what he puts his mind to.
I've made some accomplishments this year too (though many are still a work-in-progress). I'm getting healthy by going to the gym and eating better and have cut out sodas, I'm still debt free, I'm looking for a better job while building my freelance business, and I'm stepping out of my comfort zone more often. (notice how nicely those accomplishments fit within my 10 for X list. You didn't forget about that New Years resolution of mine did you?)
So on this day to celebrate my accomplishments and my 34 years, I took my friends to to see "Sex and the City 2." We all went to dinner and then out for drinks in WeHo afterwards. I love my friends - not all of them are fans of Sex and the City but that didn't stop them from joining me in what I wanted to do for the day. And they made sure I had a great time!
A little side note: absent from my festivities was Randy and, well everyone of his and my mutual friends. I'm not gonna lie, it sucks that the one person who appreciates SITC as much as me is not around to share it with me this year. Oh, and according to Facebook, he spend his day with our mutual friends doing the exact same things as what I had planned for the day. Funny. This fight of ours is worse than when Carrie and Miranda fought over Big in season 3. But unlike theirs, he and I will never be the same again. It's yet another challenge to my character -- to remain strong in my values during this problem as I grow from the little boy who made so many mistakes in his 20's, to the confident man of my 30's (mid-thirtys even).
So as I blow out my 34 candles this year, I am thankful for the people in my life who are there for me in the good times and the bad times and I make a pledge to be an even better friend to to them in the future. My hope is for old friendships to transform themselves into something healthy for future continuation. I look forward to a year of positive change and great personal growth. I dedicate 34 to be a year of complete improvement. It is my Birthday wish for all the important people around me each to grow stronger, closer, and more successful, together, this year.
