Turning the Big 3-0

I always put so much pressure on birthdays….i can remember back to being a toddler, wanting the biggest and best mcDonalds birthday party out of all my friends….some birthdays in my 20s were wild nightclub, most of which was in new york city.

Social media has me so in tiuch with every friend i have ever had my whole life, its great to get the facebook wall posts, twitter @ replies, and emails etc…..overwhelming, even my aunt has facebook and sends me messages

i just want to relax, at the aberdeen marine club with gary now, just looking out the window, typing this blog on my tablet, and posting this photo from the window.

Simple life is the best life.

Addition, my aunt Nina is great….facebook (amazing my aunt uses facebook!) and sent this message
