Today: Go, shorty. It’s my birthday.

[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false] A twelve year old boy called me a shorty while I was visiting his middle school a few weeks ago (he was promptly reprimanded and apologized for being disrespectful.  I love teachers.).  I’m 5’4″, but I don’t think he was referring to my height (or lack thereof).  It’s good to know as the years pass, I can still turn heads.  But sort of creepy to think those heads are turning in a school zone.  Let’s put an end to this line of thought.

We can sing 50 cent jams instead.

Go, shorty.  It’s your birthday.  We’re gonna party like it’s any other Tuesday for employed people. Go. Go. Go. Go to work on your birfday.  You don’t want to get fired on your birfday.  And you know we don’t give a f… it’s not your birthday.

Wait, but it really is my birthday, Curtis James Jackson III.  Important question: Who was cuter as a child?

Me?

Welp, this is why I got braces!

Or Fitty?

Cheeeeeez.

After completing most some of my While 28 List, I’m excited to start a whole new list for my 29th year. Maybe I should add “rap battle” to the list.  Or, “get a personality transplant.”  I’ll keep you posted.  Probably.

Also On Tap for Today:

What do you suggest I add to my While 29 List?  And seriously, who was cuter, me or .50?

    Happy Birthday ! I actually played that song yesterday for my son’s birthday, but I said, “LA LA LA, stop listening!” After, “We gonna drink bacardi like it’s your birthday.” Have a great year!

    Happy Happy Birthday to you! I turned 29 in December, and ya, I just went to work and did nothing-boo! Birthday’s get incredibly more dull the older you get, which kinda sucks! But I hope you have a great night eating out!!
    (Love the toliet:)

    Happy Birthday! I’d say you’re cuter, mostly because 50cent looks like he’s cringing, as if he sees his future and the fact that he gets shot 9 times 🙁 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/50_Cent#2000.E2.80.9301:_Shooting)

    Hope you have an awesome birthday dinner with Nick (at the mystery location)! Let us know later where you went…and if we should try it out, too.
