You're Invited!!!

[Chris Nagel]

To wish me a Happy Birthday!

Normally I'd have liked to have shared some tear-jerking anecdote of the celebration of life and overcoming one's obstacles but instead I'll make things easier for myself by copy-and-pasting a story a friend sent to to me. I know this task is very demanding for me but that's chance I'm willing to take...

Walken's Birthday

One day during the production of The Rundown (in 2003), Seann William Scott found Christopher Walken skulking around the set and asked him what was wrong. "I'm just really down. I'm in Los Angeles all alone," he grumbled. "And it's my birthday." Scott offered his condolences and suggested that they go out and have some fun - whereupon Walken suddenly brightened and made a confession: "I'm just kidding, it's not really my birthday," he explained. "I do this on every movie. I'm going to do it in two weeks and, you watch, I'll get a cake by noon."
Two weeks later, Scott noticed Walken skulking around the set again - and sure enough he had a cake by noon.

[Trivia: According to gossiplist.com, when he performed in "Corialanus" at the Public Theater in the early 1990s, Walken would smoke pot in the alley - between scenes.]

Thank goodness I got that off my chest... Ironic, I think not, because to be honest today is really my birthday and if any of you really want to be invited I expect to get a cake from you by noon. I should add that I got my folks to celebrate my birthday a month in advanced as well which should make me a year wiser than anyone else.

Isn't it great!?

The little blue planet that could made it a made another go-round this year just for me, and some scumbag actor named Vince Vaughn. I don't have to quote a birthday card to tell you that birthday's bring many opportunities. Now I have the manly courage in the world to call up friends I haven't talked to in years, also to bring of that 5 dollars that they owe me, or on the flipside clearing up any debts that I owe them.

Now I owe everything to my folks, because without their combined efforts I'd still be a wandering spirit in the realm of limbo. Now I'm not one of those people that invite everyone in the world to a party, mine's more "VIP Access Only" as I plan to spend this time with the folks that made this possible. It's a good excuse to sitdown at the table with my old man and strike up a conversation drinking a glass of Old Grand Dad, (that's whiskey by the way) and eating the special cooking that my mom's been toiled hours of her day making. I'll also crash on the couch watching one of my most favorite movies of all time-- "The Matador."


This One's to you,
Chris "The Nail" Nagel

To think that I joined Saddoboxing back in '04, most of the time I just fly under the radar and see if there's anything enticing particularly on this board. I found that I can be prone to gossip just like the folks on the other boards, so I try to stay away from it and occasionally drop some knowledge on this board.

Anyways I posted it here for that very reason that this place suits my fancy, and I didn't want to be another backnumber in the boxing talk section. But justify this thread I got to drop some boxing 101 of your butts, therefore I have one thing to say... Listen Closely--


Protect yourself all time, now box...


That was pretty lame. Anyways I hope that this year will be a good one, I hope that greynotsoold can have another happy birthday where ever he is, and doing one of the things that he loves most, and that is sharing is love for the sport of boxing. A few guys like Andre, grey, and ThomasTabin have raised a lot of fascinating ideas to the boxers on here and I've been able to benefit from much the stuff they brought to the table:

-Grey comes from the textbook 101 and sharp observations during a fight.
-Mr. Tabin often brings to attention to many of the subtleties of the ring.
-And Andre (When his name's scrambled it spells "A Nerd) he's very practical minded and has a very no-nonsense approach when it comes to boxing.

Everyone else has been putting whatever 2 bits that they could offer, and many of us find ourselves talking about boxing when we should be out there boxing. I like saying to my friends that boxing is not one of those ball-or-net sports, you gotta live it know what it's all about...

Happy Birthday Chris cc

[Chris Nagel]

Thanks Scrap, I think I wished you happy one too.

Knowing how busy Sharla can be, I can see her apologising for being late.

[Sharla]

I'm not late! It's 10 am Aussie time right now - and although I don't know and I'm probably wrong I'm going to assume that means that it's still your birthday here - so happy birthday.

[Chris Nagel]

Of course you're not... Unless it's already the 29th over there, then you're late. No apology necessary, it's the thought that counts.

[Sharla]

Phew! Have a good one!

[Von Milash]

Happy birthday, mang! cc. What number's that for ya? You make it down my way I'll buy you a brew.

[Chris Nagel]
