Thirty-three years ago today, Rick and Debbie Wheaton became my parents, and as long as I can remember, I've stayed up until at least midnight on July 28th, so I could watch the calendar turn, and commemorate the happy occasion by running around my lawn in my boxers, hollering out "IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!"
However, now that I am the distinguished age of 33, I felt a more appropriate way to mark the passage of time would be to play a Sit-n-Go at PokerStars. I sat into a game just about 11:30, hoping that I'd still be alive at midnight, and I could celebrate with a win.
Sadly, I didn't catch too many good hands, and when I finally pushed I had QTc vs KTo . . . and I didn't improve, so I finished in third place, which is still in the money, and at least I didn't lose to K4o.
I was satisfied to cash, and happy with the way I played it, and I almost went to bed, but then I thought, "Hey! It's my birthday, goddammit! If I want to play another SNG, then that's what I'm going to do." I may have put my little fist on my hip as I said it, but I can't be sure.
I sat into another one, and . . . long story short: I played a great game, caught cards when I needed them, and after a long heads-up battle, I won!
I was so excited, I ran out the front door, and raced around my lawn in my boxers, hollering, "IT'S MY BIRTHDAY! I WON AND IT'S MY BIRTHDAY! WOOO!"
Luckily for my neighbors, my birthday only comes once a year.

What the hell you doing up so late? Isn't it past your bedtime?
HAPPY 33rd Mr. W !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I turned 33 on the 12th, I'm feeling like an old lady. But I still get carded at the 21 and over establishments. Not too many 33 year olds can say that.
Hey, you can go to Dennys and get your free meal today. I did that once.

Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday dear Wiiiiiiiiii-iiiiiiiiil,
Happy Birthday to you!
...And many mooooooore!
You're right, you owe yourself a Sit-N-Go or two. Have a particularly wonderful day, and then, keep doing that, day after day, after day.
Consider the concept of living your days the way Mr. Raymer suggests we all play poker: be more concerned with, "Did I do the right thing?" instead of internally demanding and being a slave to any particularly fantastic outcome... does that make sense?
Daydream, keep fantastic goals, and remain focused as always on your highest priorities -- all of whom should be in bed at the moment. ;)
Celebratory mojo from the posse!

Happy Birthday Wil.
Glad to see it started on a high note!
Posted by: Chrispy | July 29, 2005 03:21 AM
Lucky for you there wasn't anyone hiding in the bushes while you were running around to pull down your boxers and give you 33 spankings. But that could have made for an interesting night, I suppose...
"A man came out of the bushes and spanked me 33 times! I did not know this man! Aaah!"
Happy birthday, Wil!
Posted by: Love's Epitome | July 29, 2005 03:24 AM
Happy birthday!! Hope it's a good one for ya Wil, and by that SNG win I'm thinking it will be.
I just saw Compulsion (you know, the CSI ep Wil was in) the other day (stupid Australian TV wouldn't play it) and it was so cool. And even better: next Friday's movie is Book of Days. How cool is that?
Also, I went to the zoo today. I was in the gift shop and I thought of you when I bought a plush monkey. It's name is Mojo.

Not only was your birthday mentioned on the radio this morning but you were also part of the "time capsule" trivia question (short version: what year was Stand By Me released?).
Have a great one and thanks for being an inspiration.

I was playing a SNG on PokerStars last night and got busted out in 8th place. I ran head first into a Royal Flush!!!!! It took me 5 minutes to prise my jaw from the floor.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Wil! Keep rockin' as hard as you do. As I make the four-and-a-half-hour long drive to NY today, my friends and I will be singing for you. The whole damned way.
Posted by: Pai | July 29, 2005 05:03 AM
OK, I'll join the chorus. Happy Birthday, Wil, and many more! Congrats on the SNG success - don't spend it all in one place. Unless it's to enter more SNGs, of course.
Celebrate, enjoy, relax, and count your many blessings. Have a fun birthday weekend; you deserve it.

Happy 33rd, Wil! Glad I've got a couple years before I hit that 30-mark.
Of course, I saw in the 'celebrity birthday list' today that you share a birthday with the immortal Geddy Lee...they put his picture up instead of yours, though... It's hard to compete with Rush! :)

I think I missed it.
So, a very happy belated birthday. Living opposite an all-boys' school, I don't think their parents would take to it too kindly if I ran out onto my front lawn in my undies and hollered.
I think I'll try it.

Happy thirty-third birthday! I did not do much for my thirty-third but I *did* decide to have a special party later in the year. I celebrated my 33 1/3 "for the record."
Yes, I know. That's awful, but how often does a person get to celebrate a birthday *and* make a pun like that in one fell swoop?
Might I suggest that you do the same? It really could be a blast, especially since we both belong to one of the final generations where the knowledge of turntable speeds is widespread. ^_^

Happy Birthday Wil. Hope you have a great day :).
In relation (somewhat) to your blooper reel post, I found a bunch of behind the scenes pictures from the first season. You were in a few. It looked like so much fun.

I will be turning 33 in Nov so try it out for me and tell me what you think. I really haven't felt any older since I turned 21. Hope you don't feel any older either! Did you get any cool gifts?
Again HAPPY BIRTHDAY and Many More!

Happy Birthday, Wil!
However, the geeky thing to do (something I've done since high school) is to look on your birth certificate, figure out the minute you were born, correct for the time zone, and celebrate then. Midnight? Pah!
Posted by: John | July 29, 2005 06:35 AM
Happy Birthday Wil. FYI tiggerbone I got the pun and I'm only 23. To be honest, until I saw the line about it being a pun and read it again, it went right over my head.

Next year, instead of your birthday, celebrate your gigasecond - 2^30 seconds past your time of birth. It works out to 8d 13h 37m 4s past your actual 34th birthday/time.

Happy birthday Wil! After checking out WWDN this morning, I was so phyched when I went to imdb and saw you listed as the birthday for today. Yay for you! And congrats on the poker win!
ps - I once ran around the yard in just my undies, screaming my head off, but not because it was my birthday, rather because as I pulled into my driveway, I'd found a bee in my panties. And this was in the middle of the afternoon. Maybe our neighbors should start some sort of support group.

Avid reader, 1st time commenter.
Just had to wish you a Happy Mutual Birthday. It's mine too, though you're a smidge older than myself ;)
(Enter total cheese)
When I was a kid I was a huge fan (still am!) and of course had a massive crush on you and loved to walk around and say we had the same birthday ... lol I still think of you every year and I'm so glad to have discovered your blog through FeedDemon.
Keep up the great work, and just so you know, I've told off the hubby for hating your character on ST - I happened to love you as Wil Crusher! ;)

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
You're the featured birthday boy on IMdB today too!
I wonder if its a coincedence that I had a dream about you last night?? Don't worry, it wasn't dirty, I can't remember much about it, just that you were in it.
I hope the day brings you much good stuff. Tell Anne to give you a hug for me.

Happy Birthday! Just watch out, you know how those paparazzi nazis are just waiting for unsuspecting birthday people to run around the yard in their underwear...

Happy Birthday, Wil. Glad you stuck with the tried and true tradition of a victory lap in your undies. You'd have regretted it if you hadn't.

Happy Birthday, have a good one!
I'm going to have to start running around in my underwear on my birthday, it sounds like fun. The neighbors may hate me for it!

The Typekey thing wouldn't let me post the past couple of days. Pissed me off. And I really wanted to post on my birthday (which was on the 27th) but I'm too late. But NOT too late for Wil's Big Day! So I'm happy I could get in today. Happy Birthday Wil. Hope your Day isn't as wild as some in the past (I only assume you had wild days) cause at your age you might not be able to handle it the day after. I only mention this cause I discovered the HARD way that at MY age (29) I can't handle it anymore. *sigh* Anyways, hope your day is spent with the people who love you the most. Love ya' and keep on doing that thing you do!

Happy Birthday Wil...Never posted here before but have been reading for quite some time and am very addicted to Poker Stars thanks to you, Yeah like its your fault!

Dude. I am totally jealous, because I would love to be able to run around the yard in my boxers at midnight on my birthday.
But alas, I live in Pennsylvania, and my birthday is in November. Pneumonia isn't a birthday gift I'm looking forward to getting...
Happy Birthday, Wil! Congrats on teh victory!

You made teh imdb front page!!! Had to stop by and send my greetings. Have a wonderful day, and happy birthday to you.

Hello Wil,
Happy birthday. Now that the world knows that you run around the yard in your boxers at midnight on your birthday, the papparazi might show up next year. It might be good to send one of the kids out to check the bushes first.
Have a great day!
