Happy Birthday

Today I am 27 and it makes me want to share a little story with you.

A few months ago I traveled to DC for an "off-site". Basically these are events where managers of a division get together and "press the flesh" (aka bond) so that when someone needs something they can drop a personal email to someone instead of going through all the red tape.

To start the night off everyone was sitting around a large wood table with a glass of wine and we started an ice breaker. The ice breaker was simple, and I'm sure fairly common, but it was the first time I had heard it.

You were to say your name, first concert and something life changing that will happen to you this year.

I was close to the last person to go. Most people talked about either selling their company, switching to come work for AOL, moving or having children. As the youngest in the room my response wasn't typical.

"My name is Gavin Hall, the Eagles and I'm 26...every day is life changing".

I think during your early twenties you figure out who you are and in your late twenties you finally have the means to put those findings into action.

I am now in my late twenties and it's my time to put those findings in to action.

And I couldn't be more excited.

Happy Birthday!

Todays is my Birthday (and also my Dads...Happy Birthday Dad!)!

I am 26 on the 26th of 2006!

I know!

Typically this would be my Golden Birthday (turning the same age as the day) but you add in the year and now I am all blinged out with my Platinum Birthday. Can you dig it?

So what will I do for my birthday? Well Mama didn't raise no retard (technically I was raised by the State)...I'm taking the day off and going to go watch some UCF Football! Woot!

So join me on this (should be) National Holiday! Take the day off and watch some football.

It's fine...they will understand.
