It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to…  But, I don’t feel much like crying, I feel like posting a message on the internet to tell the world that I’m happy to still be above ground and breathing.  Some didn’t quite make it this far but I did and I’m not planning on wasting the moment.

42 and I’m not through.  42 with so much more to do.  42 and still serving you.  I couldn’t decide which motto to settle on for my 42^nd birthday today so I thought I’d use them all.

Yes it was on this day 42 years ago that I got my first spanking and took my first breath.  I can’t pretend to know when it’ll be my last but I’m guessing it’s sometime in the not-so-distant future, so I can’t spend much time sitting around worrying about it.

I heard that the more birthdays you have the longer you live, so I plan to have as many as I can.  Sooooo much more to do with an unknown amount of time to do it in can be a bit perplexing at times, yet I press-on and endure.

Truth be told, I feel like I’ve just finished the salad-appetizer of life at this stage so I’ve kept my fork in anticipation of the main course.  So stay tuned for the chicken-fried steak and eggs with a mouth-watering gravy that’s to die for or even live for.  🙂

Today I renew my commitment to continue to source and serve others until my time is up.  Yes, you can fully expect me to continue in my efforts to make this good life, GREAT!!!  42 and I’m not through!!!

Talking about seizing the moment and Making it GREAT.  Last night we arrived at the movie theater a little early for a change.  As we were walking to the ticket booth I looked to my right and saw a perfectly cast shadow of me and my son Cedric Jr. on the wall of the building.  Most people would think, “No big deal” right?  But we’re definitely not “Most People.”

“Hey Look!” I said, “A perfect size shadow.”  I then broke into my best Pop-lock dance move from the 80’s.  Seconds later I stopped and pointed at Little “C” and right on queue he started gyrating and delivering his best “Chris Brown” moves.  At this time I felt an overwhelming duty not to let Generation “Y” think for one minute that they’ve created better dance moves then Generation “X.”  So I pulled out my secret weapon.  The incomparable Michael Jackson.  Yes that’s right folks, the “Smooth Criminal” told little “Billie Jean” to “Beat it.”

During all the mayhem I didn’t realize that we’d created an audience of spectators who were in the long lines laughing and enjoying the free show.  I was still prepared to keep going but generation “Y” figured he had enough for now.  Laughter, smiles and trash-talk continued for a few more minutes as we headed to take our place in the line.

It’s times like these that I truly enjoy the most.  Yes, we could’ve let that moment slip away but we took it captive and made a great little memory.  It wasn’t the first time and it definitely won’t be the last.  Generation “X” won this round, but I fully expect generation “Y” to come charging back soon with guns and new dance-moves a-blazing.  And, you can bet I’ll be ready for the next showdown in the dark.

Actually Showdown Shadow Dancing is kind of fun.  You should try it sometime.  Don’t miss your opportunity to make those great memories and moments.  This is a pretty sweet breadcrumb to making this good life, GREAT!
