It came and went.

Family, bunches of social networking folks, and a couple friends wished me Happy Birthday.  They’re awesome.

Also awesome, I got a call from Bethany in the wee morning hours, she took it upon herself even.  <3

But overall, the whole event was pretty depressing.  The highlights of this poo sammich:

-  20 minutes into the day, a close friend elected to ask for tech support prior to the acknowledgment.

- The one person that spent time with me to celebrate the milestone, received some harsh news that abruptly ended things.

- I was complimented for my superior gift selection from a friend on their birthday, but on my birthday they neglected to even acknowledge it.  Even worse, they congratulated somebody else that they’ve openly spoken ill about.

- Even the people I talk to the most frequently had forgotten, they heard about the upcoming day a mere 4 days prior.

As a couple disclaimers,  I’ve become a hermit lately so I can’t expect people to hold onto my day with breathless anticipation.  Plus I’m guilty of forgetting birthdays too.

Its not like I’d want gifts or a party, no material perks at all.  If a birthday is somebody’s ‘next lap’ in their life long run, then I’d want an occasional cheer from the audience to know they’re still watching.
