It's my birthday too - TMI Tuesday 6/19/2012

"Being under the sway of the element of water also makes you highly caring, generous and intuitive. You are highly evolved, even spiritual — the water signs are karmically developed and refined in spirit."


TMI Tuesday 6/19/2012


1. What star sign are you?
I'm a Cancer, the Crab.  I'm very close in personality to the classic description of individuals born under the Crab sign, especially so when it reads: "You are basically cautious, prudent, and untiringly persistent in going after whatever you desire most."  That, and the post's opening quote sound like apt descriptions of Michael Samadhi to me . . .  (Yes I did just refer to myself in the third person.  No, this isn't an episode of Sienfeld.  Michael wants you to just pretend it never happened.)  However, to a great extent, I wonder if this isn't a self-fulfilling prophecy - see question 2.

2. Do you believe in horoscopes?

No, I don't.  I grew up in a home with a Father who studied Palmistry and Astrology, so I was immersed in the theories at an early age.  I wonder if I match the classic description of an individual with the astrological sign Cancer because I was told so many times as a youth that I was a "classic" for my sun sign.  It's my belief that children tend to grow up to become what they are told they will become by parents and other authority.  Call a kid a brat, he'll be a brat, tell them they are a nerd, and they usually grow up as one . . . Tell a child they are a classic for their sun sign, and you shouldn't be surprised if they end up fitting the description as an adult . . .


3. When is your birthday?

I wasn't born on July 4th, but I'm not terribly far off either.  My dog was born on the 4th of July, and he's a classic Cancerian personality . . .

4. What’s the worst birthday gift a partner has given you?

My ex-wife gave me a Green Bay Packers t-shirt.  It's not that a t-shirt is the lowest monetary value gift I've received, one girlfriend woke me up with the words "Happy Birthday" written in lipstick across her chest, a cheap but memorable gift indeed!  The real problem is that I'm a Minnesota Vikings fan, and there's no team I dislike more than the Packers, and that we'd been married for a decade.  To understand this phenomena, how someone you'd been together with for over a decade wouldn't even know your favorite sports team, read my post about Narcissists - Ubi Est Mea.

5. Are you organised when it comes to other people’s birthdays?

Isn't that why Facebook was invented, to remind me to tell my friends, "Happy Birthday"?  Seriously, I used to be much more organized before Facebook became like a crutch and allowed my brain to be filled with different useless information.

6. How do you normally celebrate your birthday?

Sex.  Hot kinky sex.  It's my favorite way to celebrate all holidays.  (See also question #1 where I'm described as being "untiringly persistent in going after whatever you desire most.")

7. If you could be one age again what would it be? Why?

I'm currently 48, and it's been the best year of my life.  Despite losing my Mother last summer, the time I've spent since then with my Serafina this last has been closer and more intimate than any other I've shared or experienced.  I'd want to experience that again more than anything else.  

Second place would be age 13, when I hit my first Grand Slam homerun, and then lost my virginity the same summer.

8. What would be your ideal birthday treat?

It's might sound redundant, but the answer is "Sex.  Hot kinky sex.  It's my favorite way to celebrate all holidays."

Bonus: Tell us your best birthday memory?
I'm planning on making it this year with my Serafina!

Bonus, Bonus: May we see you in your birthday suit? (post a photo)

He looks kinda chapped from overuse after a birthday party!
