Birth And Resurrection

This is the last week of my 30’s…I’m gonna be 40 next week.  It’s a little weird I’ll admit – I was at the back-end of 29 when I joined this band!! – but, overall…I’m not that phased by it.  I certainly don’t feel like I’ve been in DDS for over ten years now (I do, however, feel like Dave has been a pain-in-my-ass for at least twice that long).  The best part about my birthday this year, though, is not going to be the “turning 40” part…it’s not going to be any of the birthday wishes by friends, family, and/or fans (although I honestly do appreciate the thoughtful sentiments)…and it’s not going to be any gifts I my receive (although I honestly really do appreciate all of those too :o)  ).  No, it’s going to be the part about what day it happens to fall on this year.  Are you ready for it?  I’m gonna be 40 on EASTER SUNDAY!!!!  Can you believe it?!?  Me neither!!  Oh, the irony is so thick and delicious that I just want to put chocolate icing on it, stick 40 candles in it, and have my wife and all my friends present it to me for desert whilst singing “Happy Birthday” at the very top of their heathenist lungs (*disclaimer – not all of my friends are heathens…I’m mostly referring to me and my wife*)!!!  I guess, when you think about it though…what better day for me to turn 40 than on the celebration of Zombie-Jesus right?  I mean c’mon, I LOVE Halloween AND…”Walking Dead” is one of my favorite shows – it fits perfectly.  This is actually not the first time in my life that this has happened…but it is the first time I’ve been old enough to appreciate it so thoroughly.  Happy Birthday to Me :o)
