Happy Birthday to Me!
Today is my Birthday.
I took the day off and everything is awesome. …except the weather here in Eugene which is pretty gray at the moment. But that’s ok, I am beginning to get use to it a little.
I had breakfast with a friend and some good conversation. And in case I didn’t say so before, thank you for that.
I am in week four of the 100 push up challenge, and so far I am hitting all of my goals, or at least coming very close. I haven’t been able to do anything close to 100 push ups since before my shoulder surgery, so this will be an interesting experiment. Check back on a couple weeks to see the results.
Sunday I signed up for the EWEB Half Marathon Run to Stay Warm. All proceeds benefit EWEB’s Customer Care Program to help pay for the heating bills of the needy. By “needy” I don’t mean high maintenance sort of needy. I mean financially challenged needy.
It should be a good ramp up to the Eugene marathon that I will run next May.
It has been a busy month on the running front, wonder what I will get myself into next.
And finally one last bit before I go for a late afternoon hike in the rain. It has all been said before, but here is a quick Top 15 list “Best Things About Being A Guy”.
(in no particular order)
1 Movie nudity is virtually always female.
2 A five day vacation requires only one suitcase.
3 Your bathroom lines are 80% shorter.
4 You can open all your own jars.
6 Guys in hockey masks don’t attack you.
7 You can kill your own food.
8 Your underwear is $10 for a three pack.
9 You don’t have to shave below your neck.
10 You can write your name in the snow.
11 You can eat a banana in a hardware store.
12 With 400 million sperm per shot, in a worst case scenario you could double the earth’s population in 15 tries, at least in theory.
13 If you retain water, it’s in a canteen.
14 Someday you’ll be a dirty old man.
15. You don’t have to curl up next to a hairy butt every nite.

Happy Birthday!!!
More scorpian scum! ( Mine is next friday
)
The best of days for you Todd.
Top 15 list “Best Things About Being A Guy”…. ROFL – Awesome!
Thanks Novack! And Happy Birthday to you mate. I just treated myself to a really big juicy stake, and the bartender girl sang me Happy Birthday. Think I’m gonna fall asleep now.
Not quite like last year, eh?
Happy birthday amigo!
Nope, no such luck. Last year will be hard to beat.
Happy birthday again man! Hope you had a fun relaxing day
Happy Birthday once again Little Brother! Well, ok, you are no longer officially my “little” brother, but you’ll always be my younger brother – a fact that I grow increasingly jealous over.
In response to your Top 15 list I could not resist:
“2 A five day vacation requires only one suitcase.” Personally, I don’t think being able to tolerate poop stains on the same pair of underwear for five days is something to brag about.
“4 You can open all your own jars.” True, but do you know what to do with the contents?
“7 You can kill your own food.” Perhaps, but again, do you know what to do with it afterwards?
“9 You don’t have to shave below your neck.” Also true, but if you do (or more like wax) you’ll get more women
“10 You can write your name in the snow.” If guys are so good at this then please explain why you can’t hit a bowl of water with a big target around it.
“11 You can eat a banana in a hardware store.” Women can do this, if fact, it means we never have to go looking around for one of those guys in an apron to get help finding stuff.
“15. You don’t have to curl up next to a hairy butt every nite.” Um, yeah, neither do we (see #9) also- that’s ONE of the reasons we don’t let you sleep in the nude.
Top 5 Reasons It’s Great to be a woman:
Smelling good
1) Having REAL Superpowers:
– boobs: they have the power to stun our opponents + make food – top that!
– being able to talk the hind end off a donkey
– crying
– creation – unlike an imaginary male omni power – we actually do this all the time
2) Boobs
3) Being able to wear clothing with color and jewelery
4) Knowing how to cook something delicious out of just about anything.
5) Being capable of not only asking for directions but actually following them.
6) We can carry our own stuff and open our own doors, but only if we feel like it
7) The ability to multi task – and be good at it
9) We get off first when the ship sinks
10) Not being a guy
…touché
Hey Todd, you bigger sister its beating us! All you will say is that?
…yup
If you have a witty counter, be my guest, but I think her pointing out “boobs” pretty much trumped anything I could come up with.
Yeah – all these years and I still have to try to one-up him. Guess it just runs in the family – sorry Little Brother. I have so much Karmic dept to pay off for torturing you as a kid that you’d think I’d know better by now. But I’ll keep trying to work it off in baked French toast, banana pudding, roasted turkey and chicken soup. Did I tell you I’m working on a baked French toast recipe with coconut?
Mmmmm …Banana turkey french toast pudding, Brilliant!
