39

And so, it begins….

Arkansas Highway 39

The start of my last year in my third decade on this planet. Or something like that.

There’s probably some mandatory time of reflection or something-or-another that I’m supposed to do. But I didn’t get that handbook. This post is probably about as reflective-ey as I get.

I never really understood or grasped the concept of celebrating my birthday. I don’t even know that I did as a child. It’s like I’m celebrating the fact that I’m still alive after another year. Which is a little morbid if you really think about it. And probably a little morbid of me as a child for thinking like that. If we didn’t have calenders, would we even celebrate such things? I guess humans just like a tidy way to deal with cycles.

Or maybe I’m just that mental.

It’s another day. A day that follows the previous day. Just like the 14,244 days before today since I was exuded from some unknown vaginal cavity. Another day of doing the same things I do daily: breath, eat, drink, pee, poop, do random stuff, sleep. Not necessarily in that order. And not necessarily with commas separating.

Oddly enough, the only thing I’m really concerned with is the fact that my drivers license expired today! And I won’t be able to renew it until Monday. That should make for an exciting gift to myself: a day at the DMV. Yes, I could have renewed it sooner, but life has been busy. Or so that’s my excuse.

Just lil’ ol’ me…

Have a day, y’all! It’s what I plan to do. Just like every day that I wake up. Which hopefully I’ll do, after I go to bed once I hit “Publish” on this post.

Oh, and a “Happy Father’s Day” to you dads out there!

Until next time...
Erik

  1. Happy birthday! I love your attitude towards the whole affair. I hope that your day is exactly as you want it to be. xo

    1. Thank you, thank you! It was just another normal day, aside from the handful of telephone calls I received from family members which is outside of the normal. 😉

  2. (1) Happy birthday!
    (2) You look very handsome in your pic! Much younger than 39!!
    (3) I’ll accept your ‘Happy Father’s Day’ wishes with thanks. I’m father to three kids (20, 18 and 16) all with me today and a “Daddy” to lots of sexy 20-something men.

  3. You do look really great in that photo! Happy Birthday (even if you don’t know what to do with that 🙂

    As to the age thing, forget it — it just gets better and better as it goes along.

  4. Well, you DO have one other thing to look forward to…Season Two of “Falling Skies” starts tonight. If you’re into that sort of thing.

    Have a great day my friend. Glad you liked the card, birthday girl!

    1. I haven’t watched any of “Falling Skies” yet. I guess I need to go look that up on Netflix.

      And thank you very much, again! You have such impeccable hand writing.

  5. Happy birthday. I don’t really care about my b day either. It seems to make my partner happy to celebrate it…so I do it for him.

  6. Happy birthday sexy. Didn’t realize that you’re my birthday twin as well! Now I know three other people with my birthday. <3

  7. I knew it!! I haven’t visited blog land in a week and something like this nearly escapes me.
    Many happy returns; may the next year(s) be your best ones yet.
