My Next Thirty Years

So this is the big post. The big 3-0 post. I was thinking of a way to write this. I decided to do something different. Many people are still surprised by the fact that I like country music. So I thought it would be fitting to use a Tim McGraw song in this post. I will write the lyrics to the song and in between the lyrics I will tell you about my day as it happened. If you have not heard the song, it is a good one it is called "My Next Thirty Years"
'I think I'll take a moment, to celebrate my age
The ending of an era and the turning of a page.
Now it's time to focus in on where I go from here
Lord have mercy on my next thirty years'
-> I woke up in the morning and as always thanked God for another day of life, but in this case another year of life. I was so tired and I wanted to sleep more (old age I guess) but I knew I already had made plans to go to the gym and to spinning class. My wife wished me a happy birthday, I got early morning texts from my sister and best friend. Got ready and went to the gym to workout. On this day the first part of spin class did not feel like the normal 'kick your @$$' class that other instructors have, but the second half did get us some good fat burning work.
'In my next thirty years, I'm gonna have some fun
Try to forget about all the crazy things I've done
Maybe now I've conquered all my adolescent fears
And I'll do better in my next thirty years'
->We got home and for breakfast I had a healthy serving of mixed vegetables. Amilcar called me and invited me to lunch. On the way to meet him, my Arnel called and we spoke about activities that we were doing. He was hyped about the Pacquiao vs Mosley fight. I got to Amilcar's workplace and my nephew was there, we went over to eat at the Westlake Cafe. I have the Tuna melt sandwich with half of the fries. We sat around and talked for about an hour. After that I headed back home.
'My next thirty years I'm gonna settle all the scores
Cry a little less, laugh a little more
Find a world of happiness without the hate and fear
Figure out just what I'm doing here
In my next thirty years'
-> I had to go shopping for the last of the Mother's day gifts that I needed and I also went out to get me my birthday gift to myself. I got myself the book 'Worth the Wait', the 2010 San Francisco Giants year book and a t-shirt that had a world series ring on it. I was also able to walk around the mall for a bit to get some more exercise and to see what else I could get for myself. But that was it.
'Oh my next thirty years, I'm gonna watch my weight
Eat a few more salads and not stay up so late
Drink a little lemonade and not so many beers
Maybe I'll remember my next thirty years'
->So we got ready to go out to dinner at Bucca Di Beppo's in San Francisco. The guest list included my wife, mom, step-dad, mother-in-law, niece(God daughter), Nephew and his girlfriend, brother, sister, brother-in-law, best friend, cousin-in-law and his wife and of course me. We had a great meal, we had pizza, pasta and garlic cheese bread. It was a great time, the waiter and staff came out and sang happy birthday. All in all a good time out. As a gift my wife took care of the bill. Thank you =)
'My next thirty years will be the best years of my life
Raise a little family and hang out with my wife
Spend precious moments with the ones that I hold dear
Make up for lost time here, in my next thirty years'
->After the dinner, we were supposed to go out to some pub, but that did not work out so we just hung out at our apartment and watched Kevin Hart and me and Amilcar had a few drinks, Oscar, Monica and Ulisa just watched. It was a fun night, very relaxing, just the way I like it. Now that this is out of the way, we can focus on the wedding, honeymoon and next some babies =)
I do not know what the next thirty years hold for me, but as long as I am still with my wife and we have a family and are raising our children in a healthy and fun way. I would be happy. That was pretty much my day.
