<p style="text-align: left;">Today is my 30th birthday and I&#8217;m super excited right now!!!  I&#8217;ve been waiting on this day for a while.  I can finally say that I&#8217;m officially a &#8216;grown ass man&#8217;!!!  You see in my family you&#8217;re not really grown until you reach 30. Yeah you can vote and buy a pack of cigarettes aka cancer sticks at 18 and drink at 21 but that still doesn&#8217;t make you grown.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I really don&#8217;t feel any different than I felt last year.  Still not big on celebrating the day, just glad I made it to another one.  This birthday reflection is no different.  This year has been an eventful one.  I was laid off because of the company&#8217;s mismanagement of funds *Ahem Coughs AIG Bastids Cough*.  Now I&#8217;m working for a new company and still on the hunt for something else.<span style="color: #ff0000;"><em> It&#8217;s all about progression, loiterers should be arrested. © Jay Z</em>.</span> I&#8217;m in school looking to finish up in Nov 2010.  Oh and I found out that I have<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em> <a href="https://health.google.com/health/ref/Type+1+diabetes" target="_blank">Type I Diabetes aka Juvenile Diabetes</a></em></span>.  In other words, my body doesn&#8217;t produce enough insulin to help break down the sugar and carbohydrates that I take in therefore I have to use insulin to regulate it.  that&#8217;s about it.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Hey!  I just noticed that if you add up the year 2010 that it equals 30!! Maybe that&#8217;s a sign that this will be my year. If you add up next year 2011 it&#8217;ll equal 31 so maybe it&#8217;s not so much of a sign&#8230; Ah well. As tradition, lift your glasses *Lifting glass of Ciroc and Simply Lemonade AKA that Ciroc Obama* and toast to seeing another birthday and end of year as well as a prosperous new year!!      *Blows out candles*</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How was everyone&#8217;s Christmas holiday?  Did you go see family or did they come see you? Got any good gifts? What did you get your other half or that special someone?  My Christmas was pretty much the same as it always is.  for some reason, and I noticed a few of my blogger friends felt the same, I wasn&#8217;t really in the Christmas mood.  I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s because it came up faster than I anticipated or what but I definitely felt like a Scrooge.</p>
<p>My birthday is 5 days away and I still don&#8217;t know what I&#8217;m going to do to celebrate turning the big 3-0.  I really don&#8217;t want to do anything, like I do every year, but since this is one of those milestone birthdays (e.g. 12th, 16th, 18th, 21st) for some reason I feel inclined to do something.  I was told that 30 means that I am now an official &#8216;Grown ass man&#8217; so I gotta do it &#8216;Grown ass man&#8217; style!  Once I figure out my plans I&#8217;ll start on my annual birthday reflections post and my year in review post.  So much happened this year that I should have started a while ago.  Procrastination got me again.</p>
<p>Anyway, That&#8217;s about it for me. Nothing for Christmas but I have some great birthday presents coming in 5 days.  what&#8217;s happening on your end?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sincere</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Once again I&#8217;m sitting in the doctor&#8217;s office awaiting my lab results. So far everything has been going well and actually better than expected.  See I&#8217;m a fighter and I hate sickness. I refuse to let this not only claim my physical body but my mind as well. I treat it as if its nothing. When I say nothing I mean I have worked it into my daily routine so well that taking the insulin and testing my levels are second nature to me now.<br />
I&#8217;m still in the works as far as overhauling my eating habits completely but I&#8217;m about 60-70% done. I feel healthier and when I went home everyone seemed to noticed that I gained weight but I&#8217;m actually about 15 pounds smaller than the last time they saw me. Not sure what&#8217;s up with that.<br />
I haven&#8217;t really been in the Christmas/holiday/birthday celebration mood this year. Truth be told I haven&#8217;t really been in the mood for about 10 years now but I&#8217;m a good actor and I can pull it off when need be.<br />
I&#8217;ll be 30 years old this year yet I don&#8217;t feel excited about it. I was pretty hyped about it around a month ago but ut seems as the days get closer I&#8217;m less interested in doing anything and I just want to treat it like any other day. I should do something though. I&#8217;ve never had my own birthday celebration. Never. My birthday is on December 31st so I may get a cake and a song at the new years party as they really celebrate the new year. I thought about throwing myself a party but that would be wack because they still would focus on new years and not my actual birthday. Ah well, what are ya gonna do?</p>
