Birthdays, birthdays...

Today, I've been celebrating three birthdays.

Today is my Mom's birthday! We gave her a nice little party. We ordered pizza and had cake/ice cream. I think I drank too much Dr. Pepper... I started seeing spots. That was definitely a first.

Mom got some really rad prezzies (presents)! Prezzies and cash. Cash is always nice. Mmmcash!

It's also this guy's birthday, today...

 Mmhmm! Rick Springfield turned 64 today. Yeah, 64. Yeah, I know.

I love me some Rick Springfield ♥

I also love me some River Phoenix. It just so happens to be River Phoenix's birthday today, as well. He would have been 43 years old. ♥

I love River Phoenix. He will always be one of my favorite actors. He was super talented. Absolutely talented. He was a great actor (great is actually an understatement). He stole the spotlight in almost every movie he was in. He was passionate in everything that he did: movies, music, his activist work... 

From everything I've ever read or heard about River, he seemed like a really nice and genuine person. I wish I could have met him... at least once. Yeah, he had some issues... but don't we all? He was perfect because he wasn't perfect. That probably doesn't make sense... but it makes perfect sense to me.

I've been spamming my Twitter feed with lovely pictures of Rio... and semi-spamming my Facebook feed, as well. When I celebrate, I celebrate hard, man. Ha! I've also watched a few of his movies on my iPod. 

My movies of choice were:

Stand By Me

 I Love You to Death

 Dogfight

 My Own Private Idaho

I'm about to finish things off with "The Thing Called Love"... I don't care what anyone says, I love that movie.

Okay, my River Phoenix spam fest is over.

Expect another one on Halloween...
