pre b-day

this weekend
two lovely pre b-day parties

sometimes i seem to forget
the joy of spending time
with good friends

and today i found this
very old Tom Waits song
from his Early Years



and some blue skies
to go along

Two pre-b-day parties...not bad...hopefully followed by actual- and post-birthday parties? Generally, it's around birthday time that I cash in on the fact that my friends mostly don't know each other. So, instead of all of them splitting the tab on one evening of dinner, movie & beers, I get a whole bunch of them....

Bonjour Berenice,

Blue sky. Good song. Right now, I am longing for b.s; we had rain and mist from Friday to today. Happy Easter!

When you have some time, just explain how you make this musical post.

Turning 40 Bere bere... hmmm tough topic... my smile erases as I write because I'm only a couple of years away... they say that once the initial shock has passed, everything begins to settle down and fit in its place and that it is actually a great feeling... oh man, I really wish they weren't lying those bastards!
Mi queridisima Bere bere Tomas, que este dia sea uno lleno de felicidad y satisfaccion y que las reflexiones te lleven a dias soleados con helado y cerveza. Sigue siendo tu misma, nunca cambies ya que eres una en un millon y sigue haciendo de tu vida todo aquello que tu quieras que sea.
Un gran gran hug and kisses for you, my dearest Mayor Tom from sunny San Diego ECE.

@Dr. Jay SW, thanks dear Doctor, yes! today is the BIG old day, so hopefully another little celebration and sure, why not? more to come, I am on the same situation as you with friends, that's why 2 pre b-day celebration, one with friends from work, another one with 'street' friends, some friendships over-lap but it's nice to have different groups to celebrate with! thanks and glad to see you around :) a downward facing-down sounds about right heh heh heh

@ herr Georg

Vielen Dank Georg, and you know? San Diego has been rainy misty too these days! today is cold and menacing to rain again, very unlike Sunny Diego, so i am there with you for the crave of B.S. (funny 'cause Americans might read the b.s. as bull shit heh heh not blue skies, you know? they might not be so optimistic hhe heh)
as for the 'musical' posts, i have an account with Ipernity, yet another site! I upload movies and/or sound files there and then share them in this blog, you can just embed the code given there by copy and paste, rather convenient and handy! here my ipernity site

sure you can create one for free and upload French and Bavarian oompah songs ;)

my dearest Al aka Ground Control, thank YOU!!! you are one of those long time friends that thankfully comes around and yes yes yes the confidence that the 40's bringing sure is beaten when you see the lines drawing around your face, yeah yeah the bastards indeed lied to us, ha ha!!

ahhh my betiur, pero como decimos en Mexico, es feo llegar a viejo, pero mas feo NO llegar! la neta no puedo creer que ya estoy cuarentona si todavía me la paso divirtiendome con las mismas tarugadas de la infancia, heh heh, pero la verdad contenta Betito de estar viva y pos' a seguirle!! ya verá usted que se siente medio feo pero nada que un buena chela fría y otros 'dulcesillos' no lo puedan a uno ayudar, muchas gracias mi Beto y recido abrazos tuyos y de la Gaby, y les mando muchos de regreso, espero verlos pronto!

y ha ha ha LOL con el grito de John Goodman, yes!! it does feel like that sometimes :)))

Hallo Berenice,

Thanks for the link.

I didn't understand "pre-b-party", otherwise I would have reacted.
