| I think it's someone's birthday today...? |
...Pretty sure someone related to this page was born over thirty years ago today. Yup, I think it was Jon. Jo-nathan. Trogdor. Missing-passport-broken-strings-guy. Yeah, that guy! And I think it's pretty much unanimous that we all have an immense amount of respect and appreciation for who he is and what he does. So without further ado, this is a post wishing you a happy birthday, Jon!
Here's what a few people had to say over on the boards:
"Happy wishes, friend. We're grateful to have you around, here's to many, many long years long years of happiness to you and your family. Thank you for staying humble, for being so gracious and caring so much. We're praying for you always, and we love you very much.
I'm remembering a proverb I heard somewhere I can't recall...It goes something like, "The older the fiddler, the sweeter the tune."
Though the other day I came across this one, which I thought was more relative (jokingly): "Everything I know I learned after I was thirty." - Georges Clemenceau."

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY Jon! You are one amazing individual. Never stop being such an inspiration. Thank you for challenging me to think and dream everyday."
-veronica (Speakbutawhisper)
"Happy Birthday Jon! Ah, the big 3-1. Well, in dog years you're the big 2-1-7. Holy cow! In cow years you're 310.
Anyway, thanks for all you do, and I hope your birthday was the best one yet.
Be well,
Hailey"
"Thanks For Continuing To Do What You Do Best My Friend. Happy B-Day Jon, May It Be Truly Wonderful."
-scott (redragonfire16)
"happy birthday friend! thank you for being you."
-standupkindofgirl
Now, we know you're into cows and you aspire to be a cowboy, so we got ya a little somethin'
Maybe next birthday you'll get a horse or a lasso or something...or maybe a cow?!
Anyhow, amigo, as everyone else said, thanks for challenging us, encouraging us, making us laugh, making us question, being an example of humility, love, and class, and for pointing to something bigger than yourself. Even if all's you gots are songs, you're doing a heck of a job with what you've been given. Here's to you.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!Labels: miscellaneous. |
