Birthdays

Today is my birthday. One more for the old hippy. Funny how many more well wishers you can get due to facebook, twitter, aol, hotmail etc etc, ... I appreciate them all. Feels good to know somebody has taken note, ...no such thing as a forgotten birthday this day and age.

I'll spend my day doing what I love, spending some time with Yohkoh and my son all the while writing and performing stand up comedy with friends for friends tonight at a comedy club...that's always a celebration I get to have birthday or not. I'm just lucky that way.

Having a birthday that comes at the end of a year seems to be a little more defined. It's a definite close of something and the beginning of another, the way a birthday should be. I think it causes for just a bit more reflection than that birthday in June or July that seems to hit and move on like a fast moving summer storm.

So I'm older and I hope wiser...at least I'll feel that way until I do something stupid. Come to think of it I'm pretty good at doing something stupid...it's easy and doesn't take much thought. Though I do seem to do less stupid things as I get older. I guess that's what getting older and wiser is all about...doing less stupid things. Maybe THAT'S why we celebrate birthdays, we all hope that this will be the year we do less stupid things than ever before. Nah, that's a dumb thought, I'm just being stupid.

Have a nice day ...that just so happens to be the nice day that is my birthday.

peace,
your Uncle Hippie

Not doing stuff

I haven' t blogged in a while. I just haven't done it. I realized that I wasn't blogging on any kind of regular basis, I thought some days I might do it...but yet I never seemed to get around to it. I write most everyday too, you'd think it would have been easy. Nah, just did not do it.

Come to think of it I'm good at not doing things, sometimes too good. I can not do projects with the best. I'm gonna try to pick it up though, ...most likely, probably, I guess.

Ever consider what is your thing you like not to do the most? What is the task you put off constantly, it's almost automatic. You think of it and go....I'll do that later, maybe tomorrow
or next week. Isn't it great when there's a holiday and you can say ...I'll get on that after the holiday, yeah then!

I like the sign that says Do Not Enter. It means simply you cannot go in that way. They never tell you what will happen if you do choose to enter but you still do not enter.

I once saw a Not for Sale sign. Can't be much call for that huh? How many things can you think of you'd need to put a Not for Sale sign on. Is there that many people in this world that ask ...is that for sale that much?!
This Not for Sale sign was on an old automobile. Apparently the owner had been asked so many times if his piece of crap car was for sale that he felt the need to put the sign on the car.

It's hard not to do stuff. People are always asking you what you're doing. You end up doing stuff. You just can't NOT do stuff. Proof positive is the fact that I'm blogging again and not putting it off.
