The Little Things

I know what you’ve been thinking, “Just what exactly is it like to be him?” Well, maybe not but I put together this little movie over the last few days chronicling my morning. So, without further delay, “My Commute”

I’ll leave the Halloween pictures for Wifey to post, but I thought I’d put up some of my birthday pictures. I did good! I got handmade cards, rings of love, pictures, paper airplanes and some records(you know, albums, 33’s, vinyl) from the kids. Some lovely spirits from Dad and my seesters. I also got a tire for my bike and some arrows from Dad. Of course you’ve already seen the awesome video Wifey put together for me. Am I blessed or what?

I had a very short email conversation with my friend Jan and she joked about me being “29 again” like most of us do. I joked that no, I’m 37 but only look 29. Well, I don’t feel any older than that. I’ve had more life experience than most 50 year olds, but most days I don’t feel like I’m getting any older. Kids do that to you. They keep you young. They are the fountain of youth.

My birthday is tomorrow. I’ll feel about 137 the day after I get around to celebrating it, but for now I feel pretty damned good!

Know what I want for my birthday??? Comments! I want this post to be the most commented post in the history of blogs. Help me out, wouldya? (oh, and a Wurlitzer Jukebox)

Mother: Navin, it’s your birthday, and it’s time you knew. You’re not our natural-born child.
Navin R. Johnson: I’m not? You mean I’m gonna STAY this color?

Last week the candle factory burned down. Everyone just stood around and sang Happy Birthday. ~ Steven Wright

All the world is birthday cake, so take a piece, but not too much. ~ George Harrison

There is still no cure for the common birthday. ~ John Glenn

Lighten up. In line at the post office? Stuck in traffic? You have two choices: make yourself angry or make yourself laugh. Opt for the latter.

That's a quote from Dr. Weil's website. I get his newletter daily and i reccommend it to everyone. It goes on to say:

Not only can laughter lighten one's load during times of stress or illness, but studies are finding that it may boost immunity, relieve pain and even help protect against heart disease. We don't yet know what factors in laughter are responsible for the positive effects. Perhaps it's the physical act of laughing that does it, or the way laughter helps us cope in tough situations. Perhaps it's the social bond we form with others when we laugh with them. Maybe it's the combination of all three.

Click the link above for the entire article. Now to do my part to make everyone healthier and happier, check out these video's of Katherine singing We Will Rock You by Queen. I mentioned this in an earlier post. Now there's proof! You'll need Quick Time to view them. Video One Video Two

Right now we’re sitting in our living watching Halloween with Gary. OMG the kid can ask questions… “How is he strong like that?” “How do you kill him?” Etc. We’ll get him watching more scarey movies. Then he’ll get it…

If you don’t have time to go out and get a pumpkin to make a jack-o-lantern, try this. http://www.toilette-humor.com/flash/carve_pumpkin.swf It’s the next best thing.
