yesterday was my friend's (cass) birthday. happy birthday cass! i was actually going to post this yesterday, but i still suck at celebrating my friend's birthday.
i have known cass since elementary school. we used to do a lot of silly things together. in fact, we still do a lot silly things together. one of my fondest memories (which is tough because i have virtually no memory at all) was biking down beale street in quincy... on one bike... without the use of brakes.
at the time, cass had one of those bikes where a person could stand on these rods jutting through the axis of the rear tire (where the chain stay is). i forget what the actual term for those rods are called. anyway, for some reason or another, we thought it would be a good idea to coast down the sloped part of beale street (the part right next to the mbta subway station)... with cass on the seat... me standing on the rods of the back tires... without the use of brakes. at the time, helmets weren't required by law, so we didn't have helmets either. we were young...
well, it was an awesome ride. cass must have said a prayer or something because we flew down beale street unscathed. it probably isn't so impressive now, but back then we thought it was the bomb.
anyway, cass's birthday not only signifies the celebration of his date of birth... it begins the string of birthdays within my circle of friends. so from this point on, someone within my circle of friends will be having a birthday each month until the end of january... from which there will be a lull until next august.
i don't remember how it started (because i have virtually no memory... hence the taking of pictures and the writing of this blog), but my friends started a tradition where all of us get together to celebrate whoever's birthday it is that month. that birthday boy or girl would usually send out a little wish list beforehand... and then we'd all get together and party like it's 1999... just without prince... or the revolution... or the 1999 part.
it may seem like a silly tradition. the tradition is, however, one of the few traditions that i do enjoy. i'm usually not big on traditions... even though i have been told countless times that there is a lot to love about lowell. (lowell is a reference to the annual lowell tradition for new year's eve that i am not so fond of.) regardless, i do enjoy celebrating the birthdays of my friends. it generally makes me thankful for all the good friends that i have... and eventually culminates into making me a pile of mush come christmas time.
anyway... happy birthday cass! or in this case, happy belated birthday! i hope you had a great birthday.
