Birthday Wish

Today is my birthday. Most years, you would have know this a month earlier. I drop hints, post about it, share things I would want, and make a big deal about it.

My family prioritized birthdays more than any other holiday. Since my birthday is in December, for me, it got more traction than any holiday gift. And my parents were always fair on my birthday. They did what they could to get me what I wanted. I would get it, and thenget a dinner I wanted. It was usually Little Caesars. I have to be honest, people always make fun of Little Caesars. Little Caesars is still one of my favorites.

As the years went on, my birthday got less and less special. Not in a bad way, but life is more important. My kids have birthdays, those are important. There are other big events. Every job had me work on my birthday and god forbid I were to ask off to do something fun. And it truly became another day.

Over the last few years, one of my favorite things to do was to go on Twitter and announce my birthday and see “Happy Birthday Tony” trend for a short amount of time. But this year, I just do not want it. I hate it there. I like it for sports cards. I like to promote an auction. That is all I like it for. It is just a cesspool of garbage. And it is only getting worse.

Sidenote- I will never ever ever be friends with someone whose main goal is to attack maginalized groups. I can put up with a lot. I can be friendly with those who vote a different way or see something in a different light than I do. But to truly attack and falisfy information to make people who just want to be happy get death threats…not for me.

But today I just kind of do not want to do that. It really is not a huge special day for me anymore. I am just older. That is about it.

But today I am asking for one wish.

I truly want you all to have an amazing day. And know there are a lot of fun things to come here. But make today about you. That will make me happy.
