I Am Forever Birthday Cucked By Barstool Big Cat

Happy birthday to me!

Last year was my first birthday as a Barstool blogger and one thing became quite clear: I do not have a birthday anymore. Look I’m not a big birthday guy to begin with, but no matter how much you do or don’t care about your birthday, there’s a certain expectation on this one day. There’s an excitement. You wake up curious which people will or won’t wish you happy birthday. Who will reach out? Who cares? Who knows? Who randomly checked facebook that morning and saw your name?

Simply put, it just feels good to have one day where people go out of their way to say they hope you have a good day.

Yes it stinks that every January 30th the whole world wishes someone else happy birthday, but — to be a bit honest for a moment — it’s motivating. People wake up all across the globe anxious to wish Big Cat happy birthday because he’s a superstar. He’s an icon. Big Cat is a perpetually rising meteor of talent and relentless hard, smart, and creative work. Big Cat has earned every birthday wish he gets.

So happy birthday, Big Cat. Congratulations on all your success and also for ruining my birthday forever.

Oh and happy birthday Chuck, I guess.
