So today (November 19) is my birthday! I am now officially 24. Today has been a great day so far! I’ve had about 3 billion people tell me “Happy Birthday” on Facebook, and another 1.67 billion thru text. Today at RH, we had a big Thanksgiving lunch. Great food! We also got our Christmas bonuses. It was over 5X what I expected, so that was a nice surprise. Oh, and RH also gave us an 8 lb ham! How sweet is that? Tonight I’m going to dinner and a movie with my wonderful girlfriend, and I’m sure there are more surprises in store. 

Anyway, to have some fun, I thought I would put together a “Hopeful Birthday List.” We all have lists we put together for our birthdays and Christmas with things we want. I thought I’d put something like that together for this birthday, but in a different style. I’m not griping or complaining or being ungrateful for this birthday. This has been an AWESOME birthday. Hopefully you’ll see the fun I’m trying to have.

My Birthday List:

- 10 lbs of fat turned into 10 lbs of muscle

- An MVP for Kurt Warner

- Earmuffs that block out all of the Twilight talk (and now I’ve angered every teen and tween in the world)

- My own sports talk radio show on ESPN (or just add me to a current show: “Mike and Mike and David in the Morning”)

- A strong Closer, SS, 2B, Power OF Bat, and 2 Left-handed relievers for the St. Louis Cardinals

- A trip to the Fiesta Bowl for the Missouri Tigers

-  A gas gauge that works

- The combination to the safe in Welch Library at FWBBC

- An interview with Josh Hamilton, All-Star OF for the Texas Rangers (This one MIGHT be a possibility!)

- The end of the “Saved By Zero” Toyota commercials (Doesn’t that song make you want to jump off a cliff?)

- To be one of John McCain’s “friends”

- A stimulus check

- A Fantasy Football title and trophy (I’d actually settle for making the playoffs)

- Another “Player of the Year” Award for Tyler Hansbrough

- A National Championship for UNC in basketball

- A boost in the economy

- Gas prices under $2.00 for the next year

- To figure out what happened with the Lex Luger announcement that got interrupted during WCW Nitro 8 years ago (That’s for Jeremy)

- A chance to meet Jon Lovitz

- The opportunity to have my book published
