Birthdays

This blog goes out to a very special friend. Happy birthday Aaron, thanks for being my biggest fan. Anyway, on to our topic, Birthdays. When it's your birthday it's the best day ever (to quote spongebob) and you half expect the sky to start raining golden coins on your account. People either remember or forget, thanks to facebook the number of those that remember has gone up. It's always nice to have someone give you that acknowledgment and say "Happy Birthday" as if they were saying "I'm thankful for this day that you came into the world." It's even nicer when someone sings you the birthday song. While that song is probably the most unoriginal thing, it's designed specifically so that anyone anywhere can understand it and join in. We don't need some complicated long sonnet to be sung, just a simple, fun, easy to sing melody and simple words that you won't forget. It's perfect in all those categories and sounds great in an ensemble.
Birthday cake is another one. It's tradition really, even if the flavors differ. I'm not the biggest cake person, but I always enjoy having that little slice of sugary bread and overly sweet icing as a celebration of another year gone by. The balloons and horrible hats add to the fun atmosphere that one tries to create in order to get the most out of the day. While parties are for the younger crowds they still retain some fun when your older, and it's the company that really counts. Presents are nice, but they aren't what it's all about. It's the love that everyone gives you that is really important. So love on everybody, and shout happy birthday! Still working on a sign off line. Captain Obvious AWAY!!!!!!!!!!! ( a bit comic booky)
Sincerely,
