Happy Birthday to me. I have spent 28 glorious years on this planet. At 28, I have a wonderful wife, the best toddler in the world, great family, great friends and plenty to be thankful for. I have taken risks. I have changed careers. I go to Disney far too often and you can drink bleach if you have a problem with that.
As I celebrate 28, I would love to write a blog telling everyone about me and who I am. But I would much rather let you hear from those close to me. I texted my family and friends the following…
“If someone asked you to describe me, what would you say?”
Here are responses from 28 different people. Some are friends. Some are family. Some have known me since I was a child. Some have met me within the last few years. But either way, I value every person who responded. As a thanks, I will share memories, facts and other blurbs about them.
Lance: The only man I know who can tear an ACL during my wedding. Ironically enough, the guy who completely tore my already injured PCL by falling on my knee getting out of a car. Always a good time when we hang out though.
Ryan: Baseball Sucks. Read that post on Friday for the back story. I am thankful to live down the street from one of my best friends. If people knew the way we spoke to each other, they would think our rivalry resembled the US and Russia during the Cold War. One of the most fun people to banter with.
Danny: I appreciate the fact that I can say a movie quote and you can typically pick up what I am putting down. You’re also a giant piece of shit. Don’t ever forget that.
Anonymous: Yabba Dabba Do. Also, “oh I almost forgot.”
Nick: The best slot machine since Wes Welker.
Brian: For all intents and purposes, you know what I would say about you here. But I won’t.
Justin: Top Fans must stick together. Thanks for showing me the light.
Bob: Still real to him damn it. One of the biggest cheerleaders for me and it doesn’t go unnoticed. Also, I prefer the term fact checking over antagonizing.
Taylor: Three words, Golf Course Football.
Charles: The only person who can get away with telling Mrs. Spear that a rock bottom may be coming her way. Although you don’t remember, I will never forget that.
David: Makes a mean mix drink. Anyone reading this really has no idea.
Mike: Bad and Worse. M&M Boys. The oldest and best childhood friend. You were always the Cory to my Shawn.
Josh: I still say we start making headway on our presidential run in 2032 so we can change the world.
Kyle: Tim Rebowe fanboys have to stick together. Although I haven’t known you long, I always enjoy our chats at Nicholls sporting events. I also now envy you due to being retweeted by Chris freaking Jericho.
Andrew: Conference, period. Also I’d like to say being that you are the only person I get to play twice in the regular season of fantasy this year, your ass is grass. I am going to make you wish you never played fantasy football in 2019.
Manny: Moment of silence for the champions. One of the guys I want on my team every day of the week that ends in “y.” I am pumped we have reconnected since high school my dude.
Matt: Odd that we turned out to be the great friends we have considering I met you through mutual friends. One of the few people I still actively talk to that I was friends with at Nicholls. Much like many out of town friends, I always appreciate you taking time to come visit when you’re in town. You are a true friend of the crown!
Ashley: Thanks for the time on a family trip to the beach for bringing my future wife and helping repair our relationship.
George: Another friend I lost touch with for a while after leaving John Curtis and somewhere along the way reconnected. All I can say is, “I feel like Vince Young babayyyyy.”
Blake: Truly one of the most loyal dudes I know. Also, it’s pretty dope knowing a police officer who goes viral for dancing at a wedding while on duty. #Legendary
Pierce: One, you know damn good and well my floater is not awful. Two, you’ve also been a big cheerleader for my personal ventures such as this blog. Three, it was pleasure winning a ring with you. I am happy I could help you get one last ring in your old age.
Jeremy: Jesus Christ. I wouldn’t even know where to begin with the stupidity we have engaged in. One of the things coming to mind was heading to the movies (which we did frequently in college) when we were both drunk so someone else drove my car and didn’t like that we were drunk. When that person started bitching about it, you opened the door and fell out into the parking lot. That was one of the most savage things I have ever seen. For anyone reading, we were going less than 5 mph in a parking lot so relax.
Ally: It has been awesome getting to know you since you began dating one of my great college buddies. You two are awesome together and I always enjoy our discussions on politics, life and more when you guys come around. Can’t wait to be part of the day when you guys tie the knot. I’m honored to have a place in it.
To all my friends and family who participated in this and for everyone who sent me happy birthdays, thank you very much. Here is to number 28! I am just here so I won’t get fined.
