Best Video Ever

There are only a few minutes left of my 29th birthday. I had a lovely day with my family. The day started off with JT making breakfast for us… pineapple pancakes, turkey sausage and eggs. Yummy. We had a long nap in the afternoon and in the evening we went to Red Lobster for dinner.
As I suspected, there was a long wait… an estimated time of an hour and one half. We grabbed the pager from the hostess and waited in the van. The temperature seemed to be dropping by the hour so we definitely had the heat pumping while we waited. JT and I helped the time pass by singing children songs to William and Keisha, counting to 10 in every language we knew and singing the alphabet. Before I knew it, the pager was vibrating in just under 45 minutes.
We had calamari with veggies and jumbo coconut shrimp for appetizers. I took Keisha to the restroom, came back and there was only one shrimp left. I was thinking to myself, what the hell? JT looked at me and said, “Your son at it all.” Note: whenever the children do something that we don’t like… we say, “your son/daughter did it.” I made sure to grab the last jumbo shrimp. Surprisingly Keisha and William liked the fried calamari and veggies. I am truly amazed at how fast my children are experiencing some things compared to myself as a child. I didn’t even think of eating squid until I met JT at age 23. But wait a minute… even then I was tricked into eating it. He told me it was fried onions… and only after I confirmed that I liked it is when he told me it was squid. And here my twins are… at age 2 eating squid, shrimp and they even liked the crab legs.
My main course was shrimp scampi, fried shrimp, mashed potatoes and a salad. JT surprised me with a slice of cheesecake for my dessert. The waiter had a birthday candle in it. JT sang Happy Birthday to me and while all eyes were on me, I blushed, smiled and thanked my family for a wonderful me. The gentleman behind us later told JT that he had nice pipes (*giggles*) and wished me Happy Birthday. Lovely day.
On to the title of this entry. As I browsed random websites, I came across a entry that had the Sadaam Hussein execution video. The link was broken. I just had to google the video to find a working link. So I watched it. I really wasn’t missing shit, but what in the hell compelled me to look for it in the first place? Craziness. After watching that, I felt that I had to find a video to get me in a more positive mood. And so I found a link to the best video ever on… of course, YouTube.
Michael Jackson – Thriller. When this video came out, I was literally scared shitless. I don’t think I was able to watch it in its entirety until I was about 14 years old.
And for shits and giggles… some more Michael Jackson videos.
Beat It.
Billie Jean (Live in New York)
