Oh Happy Day
Oh Happy... (Birth)...Day
A lot of my new friends here in Colorado probably haven't had the opportunity to learn that tomorrow is my birthday.
And I'm not going to give a lot of my friends back in Texas the opportunity to forget.
Tomorrow, Saturday, October 15 is my BIRTHDAY.
Now you'll have a right to feel guilty if you wake up in the middle of the night next week and you're like, "Oh crap! I forgot Shad's birthday!"
I'm not going to play it cool like I usually do and just wait for someone else to mention it while I happen to be around someone who doesn't know... you know and that person's like "it's your birthday?" and I just shrug as I nod and say, "yeah." while trying to exude "no big deal" subtext.
Nope.
This year, since I'm not around the majority of my family (who are required to remember and inform others of this special event) I'll be my own BDay-hype man.
I'm sure if I was better about keeping up with my blog, my readership would still be at it's peak, making this a more effective endeavor, but that's okay. You the faithful are the first ones I want to have remember anyway. So thanks.
And yes, if you are reading this a week or even a month after the day, I will still be glad to get your "Happy late birthday"s and best wishes and poems about how enhanced your quality of life is because of my existence... etc. (And for a short while I will also be accepting Happy Birthday Love Offerings for the months of October through September (Paypal accepted, just click the "How do I become a Shad Partner" link on the right side of the blog (just kidding (but I'm really only kidding because I'm not technologically inclined enough to know how to really do that stuff))).
Seriously, I hope everyone's doing great. I'm going have a great birthday and it helps a lot to know that I have friends like you guys (even you anonymous ones).
Talk to you when I'm 25.
Shad

oh wow! Happy Birthday!!! And welcome to the "25 club"...you can officially rent a car without it costing extra - thrilling, isn't it?
Seriously - I hope it's a great one...you deserve it!
Happy Birthday, Buddy.
Now, we can take trips where ever we want with slightly lower insurance rates.

Well, Shad I can see you out of the corner of my eye. You see, I forgot to comment on your blog all day like you asked me to...so I'm now perched at your house commenting on your blog you scripted down on this computer no doubt. Happy birthday my friend, its been a great last 5 months getting to know you better all the time. Really good friends are..well, really hard to find and it seems I've found 2 of them in the same family. Did God have you move up here just for me!?! No, but I'm glad you ended back up here anyway. I know your other friends like Daryl, Steve, your family etc...all think differently because your a great friend (son) and they want you to be with them, but...Colorado is the best state and it seems the infection is beginning to spread..because you all seem to end up here at some time. Hey Shad, I'm winking (in a manly way) at you right now while you sit in your lazy boy in the front room. Have you figured out that I'm trying to set the record for the longest comment left?
(I swiftly switch to my scottish accent)

Aww shucks guys. I had a really great birthday, thanks.
thanks for the call to tell me about your birthday!

to shad, an ode
in a land of mountains,
where the big horns go,
among the frozen fountains,
and peaks adrift with snow,
there is a fella we all love
we lift his name on high,
we shout and sing to God above,
shad's a heckuva guy!
shad, a cheer
shad!
shad!
shad!
sure enough, we're glad!
a great friend to be had!
he (hardly) never makes me mad!
i would sure be sad,
if i didn't know shad!
next time we celebrate your birthday in person.
...with swedish stewardesses.
Yo Shad! I heard it was your B-Day and sorry I'm late in saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Hope you had a wonderful day and it's been cool getting to know you lately! We'll have to bust out the Seagrams and Cigars sometime soon. Later dude
happy (late) birthday!
