Celebrate Good Times! Come On! Yahoo!
The past two nights, I have celebrated 5 birthdays including an extremely awesome cat birthday celebration. But these birthdays weren't on their respective dates. So I propose this question: Does it matter when birthdays are celebrated? Are we commemorating the day of the birth of the person (or cat) or the fact that they have survived in this cruel world for a certain number of years? Either way, I am not very into celebrating my own birthday but I love celebrating birthdays of others.
While it's great to celebrate birthdays for any reason, I think the most significant justification is to surround yourself with friends and family. While family and friends may not rejoice in the same method, the love is always there. That's even more of a reason to celebrate on multiple days and different times.
The past two nights were very different in commemorating. Last night was filled with dancing and tons of fun for a wonderful cat's first birthday! (Happy Birthday Zoey! Secretly I celebrated for my grandma's birthday too!) Tonight was a great time too but it was much more calm and relaxing. This included dinner, a baseball game (With Fireworks!), and a quieter time at the bar. (Happy Birthday Scott, Marv, and Frosty! Secretly I celebrated for my grandma's birthday again!) I really enjoyed both night and greatly appreciated the company I had for both nights! Got to love my city! Got to rep to the death, this is home. I could be anywhere but I'm right here and I livINg live right now right now! I need to get that TinCaps fitted (And P. Diddy?) on though!
What better reason to have great fun with people than to honor someone's birth? Some may include different stages should be a reason; including graduations, various career stages, marriages, buying the most wonderful car ever, it's Monday (Best day of the week), and just being an awesome person (Which is daily for me). I think my conclusion is while specific dates may seem to be logical dates to celebrate with family and friends, we should celebrate as much as we can for being amazing, while concentrating on certain aspects for certain dates (And assuming you're amazing). If you really need specific dates to do such, I'm sure you can find one for everything, including big horse racing days, Groundhog day, Pi Day, Best Friend Day, Happy 3rd Cousins Day, and so much more! Sometimes you don't know you're beautiful (maybe that's what you makes you beautiful), but celebrate it everyday! Celebrate like you're higher than the Empire State!
