Today is my birthday, otherwise known to any future cults who want to recognize me as a prophet, as the Kevin Barnett New Year. I was born in the extremely groovy year of 1978 so 2007 will be spent reflecting on my twenties and preparing for my thirties.
And I welcome my thirties with great anticipation because our twenties really are not “all that”. At least that’s what they say…
I intend on living this year to the fullest; one last hurrah before I become a thirty-something. If I am especially diligent, the “living this year to the fullest” mantra will just become habit. The first phase of this mantra is a trip to Europe in May that I’ve been planning for a few months. As of now, the destinations are Amsterdam, Prague and Dubrovnik but the latter is really left up to improvisation as I continue to do more research about Eastern Europe. The trip is going to be mostly about having a good time but I am going to be taking my camera and some better glass to work on a photography collection. More details to follow.
In other news, the stock market took a nose dive today which I am certain will be added to the list of historical events on February 27th. I wonder how much coke was consumed on Wall Street today?
Thanks again to everyone for birthday greetings, surprises, presents, lunch and dinner, a shot at becoming a multi-millionaire and to Evangeline Lily for her appearance on Letterman tonight.
