Hello again! I mentioned earlier that I was turning 40 this year and had for the most part not even remembered that this milestone event was coming up! Well, boy has that changed! Not only am I looking forward to my 40th year on this little speck of dust called Earth, but I am embracing the whole idea of having and celebrating turning 40 in a big way! Many people like to hide that they are getting older when birthdays come around but not me! Yeah, we all got to get older, but that doesn't mean we have to act older, look older, or live like we are old.
Birthdays have alway been special for me and I think everyone needs to have their birthday celebrated. Whether it is something as simple as taking the day off of work or having a big party, it is your day and dang it, you better acknowledge it because no one is gonna do it for you. And if you think having a celebration, be it big or small, for your birthday is not your think, then I feel sorry for you. There are hundreds of days out there celebrating all kinds of things and people, but there is only one day that is set aside for you alone, and you better take advantage of it. No one will fault you for it. I think I get this from my mother, as she is a big one for celebrating special days and makes the most of them.
So I have decided that I am going to take charge of my 40th birthday party, and with the help of family and friends, throw and big celebration. It will not be simply a celebration of me turning 40 years old, but rather a party I am throwing to celebrate the family and friends I have had over these 40 years, a celebration of the music that has been the soundtrack to my life, and a celebration simply for sake of celebrating. Life is too short to not have fun once in a while, and being alive for me is about the people that make my life fun to live. So this party will be for my birthday of course, but it will also be a party that allows me to say thanks for being a part of my life for the last 40 years!
So to that end, I will find suitable accomodations for this party, plan for food and drink, and create the "soundtrack" music for the evening. Music will be a big part of the evening. I want to hear the music that I like and music that meant or means something to me. I don't necessarily want to hear what other people want to hear, because after all it is my party. There will be no country music, unless it is Johnny Cash or bluegrass, and there will be no rap or hip-hop, because we all know you cannot spell CRAP without RAP!!! So, anyone who reads this missive, first off, considered yourself invited, and secondly, feel free to make suggestions! Music from the 80's is a good place to start. From Top 40 to alternative, from classic WHO to Techno Dance, I plan on having a good selection of alot of stuff. I am also planning on setting up on this blog a list of the music I would like to here. Suggestions can be made there.
I think it will be a good time. At least I hope it is. It is my birthday and I deserve it and for the people I invite, they deserve it too.
Later!
