My birthday song, my happy world (Part 345)....

 Badass Birthday

On this date, 67 years ago in 1959, in Detroit, Earvin "Magic" Johnson was born. 

Magic Johnson is the greatest point guard in basketball history, and one of the greatest basketball players  of all time.  He played his entire 14 year NBA career with the Los Angeles Lakers.   

5x NBA Champion

3x NBA Finals MVP

3x NBA Most Valuable Player

12x All Star 

2x All Star Game MVP

He also has an Olympic Gold Medal from 1992.

And so while these are all impressive and enough to make him a badass, in addtion to ALL this, he's a vocal advodate for HIV/AIDS patients, since he was diagnosed and announced his infection in the early 90s.  That did a lot to help diminish the stigma of HIV/AIDS, when the public saw a straight, athletic, famous MANLY ALPHA man announced his infection. 

Also he has an openly gay son and is vocal in his support for him, showing how straight people can deal with gay children. 

All of these together, clearly show what a badass he is!

I mean I know it was the 70s, but really I think a better pamphlet would be,"WHY Wear A Kaftan?"

And perhaps a companion pamphlet titled, "Should One Wear Underwear With Kaftans?"

So, today we travel by 51 years to August 1975 and Marvel's Giant-Sized Man-Thing #5.

Okay, I'm lying.  I don't own any Man-Thing issues (or DC's version Swamp Thing), but I'd like to own this one just so I could say...

"I happen to have the fifth ever giant sized man thing!" 

Whilst grabbing my crotch. 

Plus....68 pages for just 50 cents?????  Damn, those were the good old days!

Dear LORD, his thighs look as wide as his waist is!!!  Again, I have to wonder, how does he find pants to fit.  Not that he should be wearing pants...or anything else.  This photo, I think, shows what should be his usual attire.

 So, I took the last two days off, giving myself a four day minivaca.  I took them off cause last week, a coworker in my department (CIMD) was off Thursday and Friday.  This week the same CIMD is off Thursday and Friday.  And next week, the other CIMD is off Thursday and Friday.   And I have a shit-ton of leave and I don't really GO anywhere.  So I just decided to take off the beginning of a week.  And I did. 

And so what did I do with my two days off?  I got bloodwork taken for my annual HIV test, negative again this year.  Yay.  Yesterday early afternoon, I took a half hour walk.  Today, first thing I went out front and trimmed the big bush out there.  Not as much as I wanted, cause if I did that there would be these big huge ugly holes with nothing but branches showing, so I trimmed it back.  Hopefully next week, I'll go out and trim it back a lil more, we'll see. 

I had breakfast one day from McDonalds, I a lunch of broiled haddock from the Parlor House.   I had Fruity Pebbles one night for supper. I had a boring ham sandwish one day, and a fluffy muffin for breakfast the other day.   

I did a lot of tv watching, laptop putzing, and phone game playing.  I read over a hundred pages in my book.  I showered both days (which doesn't always happen on my days off if I'm not going anywhere).  I did some Front Porch Readin' both days.  I changed the bedsheets and rotated the mattress.  I did a load of laundry. I took naps.  I drank a LOT of Crystal Light (wild strawberry and grape).

And I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

My birthday song, my happy world (Part 344)....

 Badass Birthday

On this date, in 1887, in Vienna Austria, Erwin Schrodinger was born. 

Erwin Schrodinger was a theoretical phyisicist.  He made advancements in the fields of statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, dielectris, color theory, electrodynamics, general realitivity and cosmology.  

I have no idea what most of those are, nor even sure i know how to pronounce some of them correctly.  But I DO know he is responsible for the 'thought experiment' called Schrodinger's Cat.

And frankly anyone who could come up with something like that needs no other reason to be a badass. 

He passed in 1961 at the age of 74.
