On saturday I turned the big 3-OH. I have officially been walking this earth for 30 years now. That’s a long time!

This year was a pretty crazy celebration. I wasn’t really quite sure what i was gonna plan for my celebration but i’m happy the way it turned out. My birthday fell on the Saturday, May 2nd, and originally i thought i’d just go for dinner and go to the club. But then i thought… “Hey why not make this a bit bigger?”

Friday is where it all began…

Friday, 8PM, Dinner at Chop Premium Steak House
-Chop doesn’t take reservations in the evening. I called ahead and they set something up where we all kinda sat together in one area at separate tables.
-I had about 20 guests at dinner
-Had some wine with Alison
-Had a ahi tuna pillar… rare tuna… mmm delicious
-Had the 12oz prime rib, medium rare…. excellent cut and nice and juicy… very tasty!
-Carrie ordered me a 24-layer chocolate cake… it really was 24-layers, 12 layers of cake, 12 layers of chocolate icing in between each layer of cake
-The server tells me i must be a popular guy to have 20 guests come for my bday dinner… yeah… you better recognize.

Friday, 10:30PM, Drinks at Bar Italia
-we get to Bar Italia and i send my friends to raid a booth that only had two people sitting in it. Shortly after those people left… LOL
-i had a bunch of shots and a couple Vodka RedBulls… cheapest Vodka RedBulls in the city, $6.75!
-left Bar Italia around 12:30… everyone kinda just left. That’s fine… there’s always tomorrow!

Saturday, 6PM, gaming time with XT friends

-3 minutes left in the game…. intercom: “EVERYONE VERSUS THE GUY IN THE SWAT VEST (me)”
-I turn to my teammates who happen to be 3 girls… “If you shoot me i will shoot you back!”
-I turn around and get shot in the gut, right where the vest stops, twice in the same spot by two different guys… ok i’m done.

-I imposed a rule for my birthday… Black and Crimson for the Women, and Shirts and Ties for the Guys.
-I thought i’d be the only one to follow my own rule.
-Surprisingly all my friends complied. All the guys wore ties, and all the girls wore black and red!
-So happy to see that so many people followed my rules!
-Definitely helped with the classing up of the crowd… all the people in my group were wearing shirts and ties… nice!
-Had over 35 people at the club… most of the guys wearing ties and most of the girls wearing black and red…. FUN!

i had a huge birthday this year! it was a 3-Part birthday! SO MUCH FUN!
I don’t think i’ve ever felt so important! I remember i had a birthday one year, and i had about 5 people come out. That was really depressing. But this year I had 2 large gatherings and a small gathering…. i couldn’t have asked for more. I do appreciate all that made it out… made feel important on that important day of the year for me.

Ever since i had that shitty birthday with 5 people i wanted to stop celebrating birthdays, and every year since then my sister, Carrie, comes out to all my birthdays and always asks me if i’m having a good birthday. I love my sister!

Anyways…. I think this year might have been the last large celebration for me. It was such a crazy weekend. can someone else plan my birthday for me next time?
