Happiest of Birthday Wishes to YOU!

Well fuck me sideways! First things first. I must tell you what an epic blunder this one was for me. And, you will see that I epically failed this one.

You know how much I love other people’s birthday’s; I think everyone should be celebrated and acknowledged. It’s been a huge part of the blog, honoring birthday’s and making a big to-do out of them. Every. Single. Birthday.

Monday night during VNALive, we were talking about… who know’s what, really. Anyway, in the midst of conversation Mikey threw it out that the 23rd was his birthday. I stopped completely, and was flabbergasted to find out that he even has a birthday, but let alone, it was a few days away!

I say that because we have known each other over 10 years, Mikey and I. I have posted several threads asking for an update on birthday’s (for the new joiners) and to freshen up my birthday calendar. I’ve also tweeted many times over, regarding birthday roll calls.

Mikey is on Twitter.

We converse almost daily, back and forth on cam. AND on Twitter.

So, now you know, I am just now coming to terms with the fact Mikey’s birthday is March 23rd of every year. Yep, every single year.

Also, this is a big, milestone birthday. He’s sixty and that’s something to be celebrated all in itself!

Now on to my epic failure of a blunder that I mentioned earlier in this thread.

Yesterday happened. Thankfully. Mikey was in my cam room during his lunch break. We chatted. He checked back in on his breaks, and we chatted some more.

At about 8p his time, he came back in my cam room and we chatted again. Good conversations. Always. It’s good stuff. And then he reminded me…. and my heart sank. Epic failure. Today (yesterday) was his day and I let it slip.

Not only did I let it slip, but after giving him the side-eye upon learning of his day. HIS DAY. So yeah. *FP* My revelation to him is that I am an asshole! Gah!

Without further ado, Mikey, you are one of my wins. I say that because it has been an absolute pleasure getting to know you over the years, celebrating old jobs, new jobs, home ownership and every thing in between. I do hope that you know how much the world, my world, needs you and how much you matter.

I wish you the happiest of day’s, not just yesterday but every day. Happy 6-0, friend!

PS: I still think we should talk to your HOA about getting some covered parking.
