Walking behind.. not running. I don't like to run.

Apparently I've only written one blog this year and that bothers me. It's been bothering me for a few weeks. I've been kinda dwelling on the fact that I've only written one blog and I couldn't honestly think of anything to write. But now I do.
I have a bad habit. Well, I think I have a bad habit. Correct me if I'm wrong, but on certain events in my life I've chose (chosen, choose?) to not make a big deal about it. I think at some point in my life I did, but for some reason, I just stopped. Let me explain what I mean by certain events. I think for most people big events that should be celebrated with friends and family would be a graduation, or a birthday. Maybe not every birthday, but major ones, certain numbers that have a significance. I remember very vividly that when I was about to FINALLY graduate from college with just my AA, that I wasn't gonna do the ceremony. In fact, I didn't even bring it up with my family that I had finished everything until my mom asked me about it. She asked me one week before the ceremony was supposed to happen. She wasn't too happy that I hadn't told anyone and made a bigger stink about it than I had expected. Hind-sight being 20/20 of course, years later I watched as my sister graduated from college with her bachelors and the huge party she had and the gifts and money she got too. Announcements were sent and everything. Don't get me wrong, I was (and still am) a very proud brother that day. I couldn't help but be so full of absolute joy at my little sister's accomplishments. A small piece of me though was a little regretful at my own nonchallantness towards such a major achievement in my own life. I had kinda promised myself I wouldn't do that again.
But, once again, I did.
I won't go into specifics about it, but I kinda wish I had made a bigger deal about something. Not sure what feeling actually got in the way of hiding the event, I still celebrated it, but a huge party or celebration would have been pretty cool.

I think everyone needs to have at least one major celebration in their life. No wait, I take that back. I think every decade in a person's life should have a major celebration, if for nothing else than to just celebrate being alive and making it that far in life without dying.

I'm thinking of just picking a random day of the year to have such an event. Maybe make it a day for everyone, like a happy unbirthday day, but with white elephant gifts. The White Elephant day. Nah, that kinda takes away from the point of celebration of making an individual feel special, then it's just a party.

Well, I got nothin'. That was the only thought provoking idea I had.

Here's to hoping I don't not make a big deal about big deal events again. Wait... let me reword that:
Here's to hoping I make deal deal about events again in my life. I'm sure there's some people would still like to know about them.


P.S. My girlfriend is super gorgeous and sexy and talented. She's dangerous and mine. That's right, you're jealous now huh? GOOD! You should be.
