Celebrating the Birthday

Growing up I use to not want much attention or did not want to do anything for my birthday. Also I had many friends or groups I belonged to that would organize a party or something fun to help me celebrate my birthday. I also use to be very low key and dislike the attention of spending time with people for a celebration.

Maybe I was a quite person or very shy but those years have come to a close. I realized a few years back I have to start organizing my own celebrations. Each year is different, one year it was playing Texas Hold'em with friends, another year was spent at a jazz club, and another year was a day out for movies. This year was dinner with friends at a restaurant one night and then on a separate night having drinks and cigars with the guys.

I have not done something every year but it is fun to do something to commemorate the occasion. This may be the last year I invite people out to do something as it maybe more fun to have my own adventure in the following years. Go sky-diving, nice vacation somewhere, run a race or something like that.

Until I figure out what to do next year my birthday mantra will always be the same "Ho ray, I'm old".
