Its My Birthday
I turned 40 today. As promised, here is a photo of me in my birthday suit.
I hope it doesn’t disappoint.
For my birthday, I want to share one of my favorite stories from my childhood.
When I was a kid, I had a paper route. I delivered newspapers once a week. They were the type that you got paid .02 cents a paper to deliver. So I delivered them to every house. So I delivered a few thousand a week with my two brothers.
One day, it was 40 below on the wind chill factor. It was so cold. My brothers wanted to stop delivering the newspapers because it was so cold. I said, “No. We will deliver every single newspaper.” So I kept pushing for us to keep going.
When I got home my hands were so cold that they hurt. I thought I had frostbite. I wanted to cry they hurt so bad. I tried to warm them up by putting them under warm water. (By the way, you are not supposed to put your cold hands under warm water. It makes it hurt). I thought I was going to come out of my skin in pain.
But after about 20-30 minutes, the pain went away.
Often at different stages in my life when I have come against obstacles, I remember that paper route and even remember that day. Because I pushed through the pain and delivered every single paper.

Did your wife ever suck your dick?
It is amazing what you can push through if you just try! Happy birthday!!
Great story, Dan.
And happy birthday! I wish you many more great birthdays.
Happy Happy Happy Birthday to a wonderful person!!! And, as a Canadian, yeah, I can tell you NEVER put hands under warm water if you might have frostbite. I hope you have a perfect day, and I think this shows how strong you are. <3

I once subbed for my best friend down the block on his paper route while he was on vacation. I delivered every paper, riding my bike up hill 5 miles both ways. The second day, I wised up. I through the whole bundle in a creek under a bridge.

Happy birthday! For my birthday, I enlisted in the Navy! What fun thing are you doing?! Also, the picture did not disappoint, glad we got your torso in your birthday suit.
Happy Birthday, to one of the “pillars” of Xanga… (seriously – you seem to be a permanent fixture, lol.) Have a wonderful new year.
happy birthday and great experience. i had a paper route. had to deliver “The Suffolk Sun” in the next town over to about 40 customers every day before six AM. got cold but never that cold where i lived.
the tie is pretty fugly.
I like it when it gets that cold. Your lungs tingle from shrinking in the cold.

I’ve had real frostbite…my ear was on fire for a few weeks after…and I had to pay 50$ for frostbite cream…
obstacles only make you stronger
Happy Birthday Dan! Here’s to (at least) 40 more! Cheers!
Happy Birthday, hero. You deserve a great day.
That means it’s time to grow up, right old man?
Can we actually expect anything like that to happen? giggles
it seems like this story is a satire of something, but I’m not sure what. Or maybe you were just being completely serious. That’s plausible, I suppose. Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday!!!!!!
happy birthday!
remember — start with cold water first, then transition to warmish-hot!
Happy Birthday! Frostbite makes you impotent in later life (41 and older).
Happy Birthday, Dan! Have a great day!
Happy b’day!!!
Wish u all the best… success for you always!

Happy Birthday
I come with story. Gather closer my youngins. Thanksgiving is over, rub your bellys… I haven’t lost my virginity yet. The xangan chik I spoke to once on the phone sent me a comment, she wants to see me, she just wants to see how big of a loser I am. I wore a seat belt, felt like ripping it off. Played Gears of War 3. Ate a burrito for the twentieth time. Actually, there is this one chik who might be interested in me, we’ ll see. I have to get out of my room and meet more people. I am not afraid to die, the sooner the better, I’m tired of being alone.
But you want to know what’s worst then loneliness? Hating to be around people, my loneliness is incurable. Loneliness, emptiness, wrath, hatred, insecurity, trusting problem. I doubt I can change what I have become. A nobody. A void. The fire within refuses to give up. What I say is common knowledge, but, I feel like it needs to be said. We are selfish bastards. We are rotting. Take the nicest person you know, someone who smiles a lot. There is evil in all of us. You spend your time around family and friends for good times. Like pidgeons gathering together eating seeds. You are all wasting your lives. Your master degree means shit. So does your money, achievements. Go out your way to feel satisfied around 200 others. Alone still.
Observe, let us take Dan as the perfect guy. Why does he insist so hard life is good when you are strong enough to fight your battles. I got news for, there is no battle, there are no lessons to be learned, its all in your head. The drug addict sees how pointless life is, the successful careerist is driven by her ego or his, we are going to be wrong no matter what life-style we choose.
It isn’t about power, the most important, the human needs simplicity… if you have no clue what I am talking about, clueless naive. Distractions, all you have are distr. You ever cut someone’ s throat? I think our society produces villains. Yes, I am throwing out random stuff out there. Today I shall eat once more.
Inspirational story. It’s one that each of us should experience early in life, so that we have a good reference as we move through adulthood. Hope your 40s are even better than your 30s!
Happy Birthday, Dan!
That may be a photo of the suit but that’s not you wearing it. Nice suit by the way
hope you had a great one! good story and you’re a determined fella!
Obviously Dan my last comment made its mark on you, bro! No doubt you are trying to show your human side with this little story of yours. Its not going to work Dan. We are all on to you here and are aware of your mind control techniques.
Happy birthday.Or am I a day late? In that case, save it for the next one, too!
I love that story! Perseverance! Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday, Dan! From my page your blog title read “It’s my birthday”…had to lol at the “birthday suit” joke! Cute!
Dan is turning 40? My world is shaken. I remember when you were turning 36! Man, time is an illusion.
What you gave here is a good lesson. Deliver every single paper.
Happy Birthday Dan. I hope it is a good one.
Happy Birthday Dan!!
Happy birthday Dan, I hope you have a wonderful day!!!!! <3
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday!

Hahaa! Happy Birthday Dan !
awhhh!:]
Happy Birthday btw:]
btw, Father Time said you’re a liar. You guys were classmates back in the Cretaceous period.
@FuhkAwf - BAM! It doesn’t seem like he answers any comments. At least not here. Let us know if he contacts you privately. Mwahahahahaha!!
Happy birthday to you!
kudos to you, and happy birthday!
Happy Birthday Dan, you old bastard.
Nice suit! Happy 40th, Dan.
Good story. Happy birthday Dan!
Happy Birthday Dan and that is a good lesson well learned. Overcoming obstacles that are in our path may be painful but only for a while. When we have crossed those obstacles we find that the lesson learned was well worth the pain.
Happy Birthday, Dan. Great story, too!
As promised, will you stop posting now?
Happy Birthday, great suit. I did the paper route thing too but mine was in Cali and it never got cold enough to worry about frostbite.
happy bday =]
Happy Birthday! Hope all is well.
