Easter Sunday March 29th 1970 – George Alvin Dickinson IIIAlthough my memories don’t go back that far, it seems like just yesterday I was a child in Mobile Alabama. But wow, 36, I am now 36. How did that happen? Hell, when did that happen? The last few years I have certainly been feeling my age not necessarily physically but mentally. Life weighs on me now. I feel my mortality. My years are slipping away. I am driven to accomplish. Every day has a meaning and time can’t be wasted. Our time is too short here in this life and I want to be sure I am remembered for something. But, honestly, I can really look around and see that I am very blessed. There is not much at all that I would change in my life and I am grateful for every experience.
I need to get over this only child thing that keeps me from wanting to celebrate. I simply have never felt comfortable allowing people to throw parties or surprises for me. This has been to my detriment in some cases (long story for another post) but I want to change it. Again I have a birthday, and I seem to just want it to pass by without attention. Am I too modest about this?
Forget about the reasons and
The treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that
Our emotions can be swept away
Forget about being guilty,
We are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away

We all celebrate them in our own ways. Whether it be with a party with friends or alone with a glass of wine you should at least acknowledge the event. We only get so many of them in this lifetime.
Happy birthday my new friend!!!
I so getcha on the birthday thing though. At work last week they threw me my bday bash because the doctor I work for was leaving on vacation anyways, I just sorta stood there not knowing what to say.
I hope you had a wonderful day!
I'm gonna go off on a wierdo limb here- but when I saw your profile pic over on KimmyK's site, I thought you had a personalized pic of THE Stanley Cup.
Upon closer inspection, I see that I'm just really friggin' tired.
Diggin the site man.
Know what you mean dude. I find myself not wanting to let people do anything for me on my birthday either.
I guess I'm solitary, nothing wrong with that though.
Well I am 34 and have never had a birthday party, even as a child there never was a party.
Have to agree with kow on this one though...you celebrate however you want to celebrate!
And Happy Belated Birthday.
