YO!
YOU KNOW WHAT DAY IT IS!
IT’S MY BIRTHDAY!
I demand a cake with a card from everyone reading.
It’s mandatory.
I will find you if you don’t give me one.
I have my ways.
……………..

.
ANYWAYS!
Yes, today is my birthday.
I’m………
I can’t say it.
NO!
IT CAN’T BE!!
THIS IMPOSSIBLE!
I’m…… 30.

EW!
EWWWW
I said it.
I need a moment.
NO!!!
I’M OLD!!
NO!!
WHY DID THIS HAPPEN!?!?!?
HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?!?!?!
I NEED ANSWERS!
I thought I would stop aging like the Simpsons.
Sadly, that is not the case.
It’s happened.
The ’20s are gone.
I’ve installed update 3.0.
There’s no going back.
IT’S A MANDATORY SYSTEM UPDATE.
Well, now what?
Let’s look at the positives.
………………………….
I’m sure there’s some…….
…………………..
I GOT IT!
We went to Cedar Point a few weeks ago.
It was fun.
They have carnival games there.
One of them is they try to guess your age.
I could totally win those because I still look like I’m 12.
AMAZING!
What else……
Hmmmmm.
I’m in my own house, I guess.
30 and out on my own.
Yes.
That is a good thing.
I’m sure there’s more.
Let’s recap the past few weeks before I get too distracted.
A lot happened.
Nothing too extreme.
I might got infected with the virus, my grandfather died, and they shut off the water to my house.
………………………
Ok, that does sound a little… not so great.
Two of those things are fine now, at least.
Yes, I did get sick with…. THE VIRUS.
I WAS INFECTED.
But it wasn’t as bad as they made it out to be.
I had a runny nose and a headache.
WOW!
I will say, I know it affects people differently and it was serious for other people.
I’m just saying in my case, it wasn’t that bad.
As for the city shutting off my water.
There was a leak in for water main under my front yard.
One day, they just dug it all up and fixed it.
I was gone doing my job and came back to a mess.
Then we ran off to Cedar Point.
I was hoping everything would be back on when I got back….
…. It wasn’t.
Turns out, they can’t turn the water back on if no one is home.
Someone has to be here.
So working all day and being gone on vacation didn’t help
All that is settled now.
Lastly, the grandfather.
We knew this was going to happen.
He had leukemia.
It got to the point where he had enough and stopped the treatment.
So, it was only a matter of time.
It is what it is.
As I’m getting older, I’m being reminded of what’s to come.
Nothing can stop it.
…………………..
TIME TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT!
LOOK!
IT’S ME IN BABY FORM!
There I am.
Look at me.
Here’s another one…
LOOK!
I HAVE CAKE!
I did recently buy myself a cake, because I could!
These photos were from my first birthday party.
I found them while we were finding photos of my grandfather for his funeral.
I wanted to incorporate one of them into this year's birthday photo.
I bought this projector a few months ago.
I’ve been wanting a reason to use it.
I KNOW HAVE A REASON!
The idea popped into my head.
I project baby me onto myself.
It shows where I’ve been and where I am.
How I’ve grown, you know?
SO THAT’S WHAT I DID!
BOOM!
There it is.
This year’s birthday photo.
AIN’T IT JUST NEAT??!?!
All this was in camera.
Here’s the original…
I did do a little editing.
My baby face wasn’t as defined.
So, I took a random photo I shot of the projection and cut out the eyes and mouth.
Then, I lined those up where they were on me and made them a little transparent.
The transparency help blend it in.
That made the features of my baby self stand out more.
I LIKE IT!
I put everything in a gallery so you can compare the changes.
ALRIGHT!
Onto the video.
This video covers everything I talked about.
There’s a bonus story about a mouse that decided to crawl out from the attic.
It’s… interesting.
You can watch the video below...
Ok, that’s all.
A lot has happened since my last birthday.
Some good things, some bad things.
But that’s how it goes.
I’m looking forward to another year!
I don’t know when the next post will be.
I mention a few photo ideas at the end of the video.
I might do one of them.
Hopefully, it doesn’t take too long.
I’LL SEE YOU, WHEN I SEE YOU!
