Eye En Tee El…Baba!

As I’m sure you already know, today is International Baba Day. Children filled the streets in many third world countries today, hoping that International Baba would simply appear on his personal closed-circuit television feed and wave at the youngsters who hope to be like him one day.

International Baba Day–it encourages the children to dream.

Anyway, it’s the big two-cinco. Birthdays become less and less eventful with every passing year, but they’re still cool. It’s the only day where phone calls from an ungodly hour are unequivocally met with a smile or a chuckle. It’s also the day that I get a decent reduction in car insurance (The Man is unkind to black men under 25 when it’s insurance time).

But, as of somethin close to nine this morning, that is what it is. I’m back in Durham for a while, so I’ll probably head out to drink with my folks from the department. They’ve got major papers to turn in today, so folks are gonna be lookin to get rrrrrrrripped, man.

Don’t think I’ll be ripped, per se. But it’s a celebration, baby. You in the Triangle? Hit me up and find out where the party’s at.

And, for your viewing pleasure, here’s a picture of my godson. You’ll be able to tell he’s with me. My bulging biceps are trademark.

1. Happy B-day Bomani. Celebrate like you’ve never celebrated before, and please don’t be so jaded at 25. You’re still a babe in swaddling clothes dude!

   p.s. you look like you’ve got a natural paternal instinct in that picture.

3. Happy Birthday, man… I am kind of worried at how you got scared of the challenge to lose in Madden ‘06. I said that I’d be San Diego. :) Use Vick and see what happens…

   All I said was that my house wasn’t set up for it. I’ll beat your ass like you stole something.

7. 25? Ahh yeah, you’re just getting started now, let the party begin! Happy Birthday Bo!!!!
   That pic is so sweet it’s making my ovaries hurt, LOL

   Warning–sore ovaries are a potential side effect of visiting Virtual Bomaniland. I think I’ll have to put a waiver up as a splash page.

10. How did I talk to you like a million times (virtually) and miss the fact that it was INTL Baba day? Happy Birthday, sir. You know you’ve been someone I could laugh at and with since day one. I wish you the very best this coming year. Lots’ of good business traction, plenty of nahmean and most of all - peace.

    Live well my friend.

    **RPM**

    Plenty of nahmean…in the words of a great philosopher named Corey Earlie, that’s what I’m talkin’ bout.

14. Happy Belated Birthday!! I am only able to check your site a couple of times a week (if that), so I am a little late on the well-wishes. I hope your day was everything you wanted and more.

    I am only able to check your site one or two times a week if that. Sorry I missed the big celebration; I hope it was everything you wanted and more.

    That’s right.

18. Yeah, I’m late with the birthday tidings, but since you’re not one of those people that are slaves to the clock, I feel fully comfortable telling you happy birthday a full four days late.So happy birthday.There. I said it.
