Mah Birfday – U Planz It

I was getting ready to take an “I’m totally annoyed at work right now” nap, when I had a brainstorm.
You know what I want most to do for my birthday?
TO SIT BACK AND NOT HAVE TO PLAN IT!
So. Here’s the challenge.  My birthday proper is April 16th, and in the evening I’m inviting my close circle of friends to come with me to Cold Stone Creamery for ice cream.
But the actual celebration should take place that weekend, or perhaps the weekend before.  Since my birfday is on a Wednesday, that’s a good half-way point.
I like:  Seafood, margaritas, outdoor activities, fitness, spas, live music, video games, independent films, and shopping.
I dislike: Large quantities of red meat, golf, suffocatingly heavy crowds, romantic comedies, people not getting along, most sports except baseball and hockey.
Ready? GO!

Editor’s note:  I’ve had it implied that this rash of blogging about my birthday is a shameless plug for said birthday.  It’s not.  I really just have no idea what to do this year and am having a bit of fun with my readers.

Here It Is, Your Moment of Zen

How does Ronnie James Dio* take himself seriously?
Maybe he doesn’t.
I would add this track to my workout mix but I would probably fall off the treadmill for realz and possibly pee myself laughing too. That’d be awkward.

 *Shutting up because the dude was 63** years old when this was filmed! I hope I rock like that at 63…
**Which means he could be someone’s GRANDFATHER. Can you imagine??
