Birthday Blowout: Day 20 of 20 and The Aftermath

Dear Friends,

What I am about to share is something I wish I could make up but the events of my 34th birthday and the day after are something I will not forget. I never though I could have a good birthday in my 30's but this was a good birthday. I hope I can remember everything but for the most part, I am happy have seen another year of my life. With that said, this is day 20 of 20 and also the aftermath of it.
My friend April S. paid for a room for me and her to share. I thanked her for that because I did not have to work and it was nice to have a date and someone real to spend it with. For the most part, it was a nice room. Once we got into the room, it was a dream that become real. The room was nice and it was also roomy. After we checked into the room and showered, we decided to go to the movies. We saw a good movie. We both had fun not only seeing this movie but we also had fun being with each other.

After the movie, this is where things started to get better. We decided to go to the casino to gamble for a bit before going out to dinner. Once at the casino, both me and April S. hit big at the casino. Ususally, I do good at the casino but to have someone with me that hit big was a blessing. So after we cashed in our winnings, we go out to dinner. Nothing fancy but it was nice. After dinner, I decided we should go to a bar and drink. It was funny to drink because I don't do it often. Also I decided to drink some of the things I sell at work. I did not get a chance to drink what is called a Summer Shandy but I did get to drink something with lime in it. April decided to invite her cousin and that was cool. Before we went to the bar, April bought me a cool sweater that I will wear this fall and winter. There will be a pic of it soon.

Once we waited for her cousin, we go from the bar to the strip club. It was around 1am, I was drunk and so was April and her cousin. It has been a while since I was in a titty bar but nothing really changed. The women were wild and shit was expensive. I did see some females that I would love to have a private dance with or something more freaky. Once we got into the place, my wildest dreams were seen in that place. I saw a woman get a lap dance from another woman. I also saw three women make out and tease a man. I wish it was me but I did get to see something like that happen. Also I did get a couple of sexy birthday kisses from the girls working the poles. At 2am, the place was closing and my birthday was almost over. When I woke up in the morning, there was one more thing to do for my birthday......

As I got to work, I was greeted by my mom, my aunt and my mom's friend. I got them tickets to the game and also got a nice pic of all of us together. It was nice to see my mommy come to a game. It was also nice to have my aunt come since I have not seen her in a while. This was the end of my 34th birthday. This is what made me happy. This is what wanted me to celebrate and also do more for my 35th birthday. I got to do things and see things I never though I would see. I thank God for a lot of it but April S. getting the room was the catalyst of the greatest birthday of my life. Happy Birthday To Me!!!!!!!!!

Birthday Blowout: Day 19 of 20

Dear Friends,

Well it is the day before my birthday and I am nervous as hell. I guess the hype of the day is getting to me. I want to think that the day before my 34th birthday, I want to be happy and blessed. I am happy and blessed. Also I am sad and worried because I am older but don't feel wiser. Unlike most of my blogs about the days leading to my birthday, this one is going to be short and sweet. I want to say all my writing for the actual day. So with that said, here's my thoughts for day 19 of 20.....
.
I will be 34 years old in less than 24 hours. I have thought about how I was ten years ago, and also 20 years ago. I loved that when I was 14, I was really idealistic and hopeful of the future. What's sad is that when I was 24, I was less idealistic but more realistic. It is funny that the older you get, the wiser you suppose to be. I don't see that because I repeat mistakes but they have different names.

Something else I notice is the way things change before birthdays. When I was 14 years old, I barely liked my father but as I am now, I have new respect for him. Same with my mother at 14 and now. As a teen, you hate the world but the older you are, you see new things to make you want to be a aprt of the world.

One more thing, I have decided to celebrate this birthday because you only live once. Why hide and be depressed? Also why be a sour puss? I am going to be more lively as I get older because I don't want to regret shit. People that regret are those who nag about the little shit in life. I am tired of that.
Until tomorrow, I will focus on today. I also want to be able to have people see that I am getting better not worse. No more being depressed or sad for something that someone wanted from me. I want to be happy and also very determined to be more than what I am in life. So until tomorrow, have a good night my friends.
