On May 1, I’ll be hitting my 26th birthday. I’m fairly certain that I was knee-deep in WordPress code last year instead of celebrating, so I’m planning to take a break this time around. What’s the point of life if you can’t do something you enjoy on your birthday?
I’m not going to go completely crazy though. I just want to enjoy a couple of things I love doing but haven’t had the time for lately.
- Play a round of golf.
- Kick some ass on Halo 3 multiplayer for about 12 hours straight.
I will not be doing these things:
- Reading or replying to emails.
- Working on the Hybrid theme.
- Getting involved in WordPress-related arguments.
Checking my Twitter stream.Yeah, right!
If you want to celebrate the birth of me, keep reading. I’ve got two options for you.
Halo 3 online multiplayer
Since I can’t invite you all down here to Alabama to play golf with me, I thought it’d be fun to slaughter you in an online game. So, if you’re into Halo, feel free to add me as a friend and join me and some of my friends Saturday evening for a night-long Halo bash.
My gamer tag is justintadlock. Yes, it’s a boring gamer tag, but I couldn’t retrieve my password for my older, cooler, hardcore-gamer name.
I only have a few rules:
- BYOB.
- Bring custom maps (that don’t involve ninja moves to avoid falling to your death) if you have them.
- Someone must invite this guy.
Buy me something pretty
I only find books and movies pretty. Just so that’s clear.
I don’t usually promote my donation links or wish lists online, but I get asked once a week or so about donating for one of my plugins or a tutorial I’ve written. So, if you’re feeling generous, don’t like Halo 3, or will be attending WordCamp San Francisco instead of playing Halo with me, you’re certainly welcome to get me something from my Amazon wish list.
If you’ve ever wanted to hear a drunken Justin cursing because he can’t remember which button switches back to his sniper rifle, I’d go with the first option.
Because I’m in actually in Alabama, does that mean I get to come play golf with you instead?
If you’re near the Troy area, you’re more than welcome to come.
Did you give your mom a gift? After all she did all the work!
Just kidding, happy birthday! Only 26, wow to be 26 again.
Happy Birthday
I will celebrate your birthday with the code your missing, well, at WordCamp SF that is. Have a good one!
Happy birthday! Make sure you don’t plan on working the day after your birthday too! You will want time recover!
A very happy birthday to you too! Enjoy your birthday.
I’m a big fan of your work.
I live half the world away ,
so I can only send u this HBD in this comment.
Enjoy the party !
Happy Birthday in advance!
“Someone must invite this guy.” Ha!
If I didn’t have WordCamp SF this weekend I would totally be down for a few rounds of Halo 3! I’ll be sure to add you to my friends list so we can game sometime.
happy b-day justin!
Well happy 26th then! Hope you’ll have a fine day and that you’ll keep the good work coming.
All the best

Happy Birthday Justin! Hope you have a great one!
Happy Birthday Justin, Hope you have fun.
Hahaha oh man that post made me laugh lol. Well welcome to the wonderful world of the late 20′s man. Let me give you some advice as I’m just a couple of years older. You will soon be going through something called the “quarter life crisis” lol. Most of my friends seem to be going through it right now. Its not as bad as a midlife crisis but its a realization that a big part of your life will be over when you hit 30…. Sooooo take these last few years and liiiiive!!
Happy B-Day Justin!
Keep up the good work!
Belated Birthday wishes dude. In most cases, when we plan for something big, invariably it falters. So, just get on
Hope you had a good time.
hey belated happy birthday Justin … cheers cheers and cheers…
Since I missed your big day… What did you end up with?
Belated birthday wishes…so how did the birthday bash go???
Didn’t realize you live in Alabama? I live in Auburn!
Happy happy belated birthday Justin!
Sorry I missed it, hope it was great.
Happy B-Day. I wish I was 26 again. I just have to settle for 27.
A very happy birthday to you too! Enjoy your birthday
