A tribute to the very newly 21 year old AJ Harbison

12:00 AM Edit This 3 Comments »

As I decided to write this blog I could not decide whether I should make a list of cool things about AJ, or of cool things about being 21. Because this is perhaps the coolest birthday one can have, I would hate to ignore it, but also because this is perhaps one of the coolest men I have had the pleasure of knowing, I would hate to make it a generic 21st birthday list. So, I have decided to make a combined list of the top 5 things about AJ being 21.

5. I now have another possible replacement as the drunk of the group.
4. Meetings and parties will no longer include that part when everyone blankly wonders why I didn’t bring any alcohol, because I will now be able to first blame AJ for not stocking his own bar.
3. One of my favorite traditions is buying a friend his or her first shot of good Irish whiskey. (But I hate having them do it alone, so AJ’s birthday gives me the opportunity to drink some myself!)
2. I think AJ will look really good drinking.
1. In his inebriated state, we may all have the opportunity to see AJ lose some of his astonishing reasoning capacity, which will entertain me very very much, and may lead to new conclusions never before reached in mental exploration. He may also make a grammatical error, which we would all be able to hold lovingly against him forever.

Yay, happy birthday, AJ. Hope it's a great day, because I can pretty much guarantee it's going to be a great year!!!! Can't wait to celebrate.

C-Pat,
You're awesome. Thanks for the birthday blog-ness. I'll tell you all the exciting details the next time I see you--and I can't wait for the Irish whiskey.

P.S. You might as well give up now--even intoxicated, you'll never catch me in a grammatical error. Ever.

Courtney you are hilarious. Excellent points on AJ turning 21. I love how somehow AJ turning 21 gives you another excuse to drink. That's fitting.




AJ, cheers! You have passed the final rite of passage of manhood (according to the state).

You my friend were man before you turned 21 and now the State legally acknowledges your manliness. You can now do and say whatever you want! Good job Man.

Courtney, stay drunk. haha ;)

AJ, stay strong, Man.

Courtney, your drunkeness could never be replaced. You have secured the group drunk position on a foundation of empty beer bottles.

4. Meetings and parties will no longer include that part when everyone blankly wonders why I didn’t bring any alcohol, because I will now be able to first blame AJ for not stocking his own bar.

I agree. Now that you are 21 that age comes with a lot of responsibility, stock the bar!

3. One of my favorite traditions is buying a friend his or her first shot of good Irish whiskey. (But I hate having them do it alone, so AJ’s birthday gives me the opportunity to drink some myself!)

Courtney, I have no doubt that you are always looking for a reason to drink. You'd say "we have to drink because its (fill in the blank)." haha

2. I think AJ will look really good drinking.

I can't disagree with you there. AJ and a big glass of Whiskey should just come together in the box.

1. In his inebriated state, we may all have the opportunity to see AJ lose some of his astonishing reasoning capacity, which will entertain me very very much, and may lead to new conclusions never before reached in mental exploration.

Good job Courtney, it is all part of the plan. As alcohol increases, grammar decreases.
