This month, we\u2019re celebrating my friend, who has been a constant (pain in the ass) in my life since 2003. We met back in tech school while trying to navigate the mysterious world of computer networking and routing. Little did I know I was signing up for a lifetime of dealing with someone who can trip on a weed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If there\u2019s one thing you should know, it\u2019s that he\u2019s the poster child for \u201cHow Not to Navigate Life.\u201d Seriously, this guy could trip over a wireless signal! He\u2019s so clumsy that I\u2019m convinced he has a secret talent for falling into potholes on the beach. Who needs a beach body when you can have a beach faceplant? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And don\u2019t get me started on his bathroom escapades. He once got stuck in a bathroom because he couldn\u2019t figure out how to open the door. If there were an Olympic event for getting trapped in restrooms, he\u2019d take home the gold\u2014while dropping his phone in the toilet! So if there are any fellas out there looking for someone who can fix their computer but also be a companion, Gay is your guy, He can also assist in other things, but don’t let him hold camera equipment otherwise, you may find it not in your trunk where you thought it was and somewhere on the beach for anyone to find.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for photos, he hasn\u2019t taken a decent one since the days of AOL. I\u2019m pretty sure his last good photo was taken with a flip phone. It\u2019s like he\u2019s living in a time warp where Instagram doesn\u2019t exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His obsessive-compulsive tendencies are both a blessing and a curse. He\u2019ll spend hours organizing his desk, only to knock over a cup of coffee right after. It\u2019s like watching a live-action cartoon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, here\u2019s to my wonderfully ditzy, clumsy, and hilariously OCD friend! May your born day be filled with laughter and fewer potholes. Just remember, if you find yourself stuck in a bathroom again, I\u2019ll be there to rescue you\u2014after I take videos and pics of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
