I’m overwhelmed with all of the Facebook messages I woke up to. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for saying hi. It was incredible. I’m blessed and lucky to call all of you friends. This is a great day.
So thanks for that.
This is the GREATEST day I’ve ever known.
Now…if you’re like most people, you’re wondering, what can I do to celebrate Chris’s “Jesus Year.” And I’m glad you asked, because I have a short list of birthday wishes:
- Link to me. I need links both here at http://genuinechris.com and also at http://ftherapybook.com Link, baby, link. Thanks in advance.
- Buy 10-12 copies of my Buzz Generating Book book or books. You can do that here:
- Subscribe to all of my lists and stuff.
- Tell me how I can get better (honest feedback rocks)
- Be nice to my wife and kids.
- Make something beautiful, cool, or useful.
This is what I want you to do for me, and I hope that I can hang with it. I’ll leave you with about how I feel. So much to do this year, I’ve got 2500 hours left to kick ass. Time to use them.
From Harry Chapin:
When I started this song I was still thirty-three
The age that Mozart died and sweet Jesus was set free
Keats and Shelley too soon finished, Charley Parker would be
And I fantasized some tragedy’d be soon curtailing meWell just today I had my birthday — I made it thirty-four
Mere mortal, not immortal, not star-crossed anymore
I’ve got this problem with my aging I no longer can ignore
A tame and toothless tabby can’t produce a lion’s roar
