Blurry Year

Catching up in my reader I find that a couple of other people I read also had a birthday weekend. Happy b-(lated-a)day, Nicole and Rini CS!

Popular ways to post about a birthday are to re-cap life lessons or events that I’m probably going to want to remember in years to come.

Ok, fine, a list. What did this Gemini do at age 25?

Fell in love with New York City (okay, Brooklyn)
Survived layoffs. Twice. I am one lucky (or skilled?) sonofabitch
Moved agencies, and subsequently, figured out a career
Finally created an exit plan to stop working at the bar
Went to a friend’s wedding dressed as Eeyore and immediately following, had my sobriety beaten to a pulp by that which is the city of Las Vegas
Became, yet again, a musician in a local band; got that band to realize we are some of the best friends we’ll ever have
Learned not to dance like no one is watching, but to dance like people are watching, and to not give a rat’s ass what they think; because if they are too busy judging me then, clearly, I am already having more fun than they are
Became acutely attuned to recognizing that there are some ladies to whom I may sometimes be attracted who are really bad ideas to date; learned to take action accordingly
Lived, honest-to-God, with an ex-porn star (OMAGAD I haven’t told that story yet! I will in the next post)
Networked, networked, networked

I’d say that’s pretty eventful.

Here’s to 26.

And here goes nothing.
