Archive for the ‘Birthday’ Category
Kind of sick of this countdown but since I started I gotta finish! Every time I do it I feel old…
Okay so I have 24 days left until the big 3-0 and I still haven’t decided what I want to do to celebrate my 3 decades on this earth Hmmm…
So if you guys are thinking of gifts, I love New Era fitted caps size 7 1/4!!
As the date gets closer the less I want to actually celebrate it.
Almost there folks!!!
Everyday I’m inching closer and closer…
My current age is the number of days until my 30th birthday! The closer it gets the more excited I get about it!
I have 30 days left until I hit 30!!!
That is all.
Just a lil video about this year and My birthday that I decided to put up while bored…
New Year’s Eve To You, A Birthday To Me from Sincere on Vimeo.
So I have made it to see another birthday. I really don’t celebrate my birthday by doing anything big because it will always be overshadowed by New Year’s eve. If you don’t know today is my birthday and I’m 29! That’s one year from my thirties and the last year of my twenties. Have I reached any of the goals I set like 10 years ago? Nope. Not even close. I kind of gave up on setting goals a long time ago. It’s just a big disappointment when I don’t reach them. Maybe I should just make realistic goals instead… Hmmm, maybe I’ll try that instead.
This year has been pretty uneventful actually. This was my first ‘official’ year living in Atlanta and I still haven’t gone to the Aquarium or the zoo. I’m a home body so as long as I have food, tv and internet I’m content. This year I realized that I am too addicted to technology. I know I’ve talked about my addiction in other posts but it’s ridiculous. I really need to disconnect from the Matrix.
I still can’t really believe that I’m 29. From looking at me you couldn’t tell. I still look like I’m 16. Okay maybe 18. *Thanks to my pork free diet!* There really hasn’t been a big change since last year and this year so let’s raise our glasses *lifting cup of Grey Goose & Cranapple juice* and toast to good life and good love!!!
Peace
Today is my birthday and I feel the need to say that, first of all, I’m not old. I’m just seasoned. At 28 I’m not really considered old anyway, unless you’re a teenager or younger. This year has been pretty good to me. Not my best but not my worst. Somewhere in the middle. I really can’t believe this year went by so quickly. Seems like just last week I was writing about how 30 is the new 20 and now I’m back talking about another birth milestone. It sucks that I had to work but at least I have a job. So many times we complain about the trivial things of life when we should be happy that we are even able to do them. I am grateful to have a job in this economy, sure I would like to be paid more, have a better position and all but at least I’m doing something. In time I’m sure things will work themselves out.
For some reason After I turned 21, birthdays aren’t really something that I look forward to every year. It’s just like any other day. then again, not really because my birthday is on new year’s eve but you understand what I’m trying to say. I hope. This year hasn’t been a hectic one. The major thing was the move to Atlanta. Other than that not too eventful. Pretty blah. I hate doing these yearly recaps because I can’t remember what I did 2 hours ago let alone 2 months ago! My short term memory is shot thanks to those college years (shouts to Morris College and Univ of South Carolina)! Let’s just say the Marleys and I have more in common than a love for music… Peer pressure is a beast I tell you!! but anyway, my short memory and slight speech impediment (I tend to talk really fast and/or slur my words and mumble)has lead me to write everything down. The problem with that is that I would forget where I wrote it down, or when I found it, why I wrote it down. Before I got into the smart phone game I couldn’t win for losing! Now I have everything labeled and date/time stamped.
This upcoming year I plan to make everyday somehow better than the day before.
“You should end each day smarter that you were when you started.” – Warren Buffett
No that’s not a resolution because I don’t make Resolutions. That is a daily goal.
I’m pretty happy with what I accomplished this year. I’m sure I could have done more, but I also could have done less. I think I achieved as much as I could given the circumstances. Make lemonade out of lemons, right? Given the right, or wrong depends on how you look at it, circumstances there’s no telling what I could accomplish. So here’s to me * raise your imaginary or real glasses in the air* for making it to another birthday and I wish you all a great and prosperous new year!
Peace and Blessings

Yesterday was Justin’s 1st birthday. he is now 1 years old, 12 months, or 366 days old. You know what? People kill me when they continue to use months after the one year mark. this is not a knock or dis to people that do this, It is what it is, you’re gonna keep doing it. I just don’t like to do it. If your child is let’s say… 27 months than just round it out and say 2 yrs. Do you say that you’re 324 months or do you say 27 yrs? Now if the situation calls for months than give me months, but general conversation doesn’t. I’m not trying to use up what little math skills I have left just to figure out how old your child is. Anyway, I’ll save the rest of that for my ‘Are you for real pt 2′. Now back to Justin, We got him an ice cream cake with The Backyardigans screen printed onto it. That is one of his favorite shows. He goes absolutely nuts when it comes on. No matter what he’s doing. if he hears that opening song he will stop and high-tail it to the TV. Even if he’s half asleep, he will wake up. Sometimes it seems to put him in a trance (I wonder if there are any subliminal messages hidden in those songs? hmmmm). He had a little get together type thing at day care. Since it was his first and he doesn’t really understand it all anyway, we decided not to go all out. Now when he turns 16 or 18, things may be a little different. For now, what we did is fine, at least to me it is. Sometimes those big elaborate parties are more for the parents than the children. Do you think in 5 or even 10 years from now he’s gonna remember his 1st birthday? I don’t think so. Anyway, it seems like this first year of his life went by so quickly. I still remember being in the hospital waiting on him to be born. Now he’s starting to walk and talk ( he can say Justin, Daddy, and DJ…. we’re still working on mommy) As the saying goes ‘time stands still for noone. The older he gets also means the older I get. Whoa…..
Peace and Blessings
