#character: NO it's someone special's birthday so i can't celebrate my own. ever again.

[koinotame]

oh random thought but 🤔 do you think sharing a birthday with a character would be seen as a huge honour in sagau or whatever self aware au you want to insert here or would it be more like having your birthday on christmas (the characters' gets overshadowed by yours by virtue of it being Your birthday).....

[artsymeeshee]

Hey, mind if I add my two cents to the whole birthday celebration thing? It's gonna be long, so sorry for that. I imagine that Caryn, as heartbroken as she was after Stan was kicked out, kinda liked to pretend that everything was "fine"? The whole science fair incident become unbreakable taboo? And not because she didn't care (she NEVER forgave Filbrick for that! from now on their marriage pretty much existed only on paper), but she was so desperate to keep her family from coming apart further,

(P2) and scared of losing another son, she just threw herself into supporting Ford, going out of her way to spend more time with him (Well, my opinion is, that she was somewhat neglectful mother, without wanting to or realizing it. She was focused on her job, a bit in her own world, and never noticed Filbrick's abuse? A little too easy buying all of Stan's bright smiles and "I just got clocked in the ring, no big deal, no need to worry, everything's FINE!" Now it blew up in her face) (P3) She's detrmined to change, help him with sorting through all backup colleges, but never really talks about what happened and how he feels about it? And I think that's part of a reason Stanford hadn't had a chance to work through his resentment properly? Everyone around him suddenly acted liked Stanley never existed, and he's just expected to move on? (P4) Fast forward, he's already in college, throws himself in work, and kinda avoids family, but his birthday's approaching (first one ever without Stanley, and he tries not to think about it), and his mother calls, and she's all cheerful and expects him to come home for celebration, and he tells her he can't, and she doesn't take that for an answer - "Come on, who's gonna make you *insert that special once-a-year dish you mentioned ;)*? It's not a birthday without it! It's your favourite!" (P5) And Ford, being an emotional teenager, just SNAPS, he's so fed up with all this pretending, this fake cheerfulness and avoiding the issue, that he yells back: "No, it was STAN'S favourite! It's HIM who always made such a fuss about it, I couldn't care less about the stupid thing!" And Caryn just BREAKS. She starts sobbing uncontrolably, maybe for the first time since that night happened, and Ford feels TERRIBLE, and tries to apologize, but there's no use. (P6) Because he's right, and she failed them as a mother, and now she may never see her baby boy again, and who knows what happened to him, if he's safe, if he even has anything to eat right now, yet alone a bithday cake, and her other son clearly resents her right now (she misinterprets it as Ford accusing her of not knowing him enough and lumping them together, which wasn't his point at the moment), and she just misses them both so much... (P7) After that she calls him every year to wish happy birthday, but never pushes, asks for a visit, but understands if he has "more important things to do". She tries to make it all about him and is never brings Stan into the conversation, afraid it would tick him off. This continues after Stan's taken over Ford's life, and from his perspective - it's just a confirmation that faking his death was good idea. He's already been erased from this family, a good riddance noone even missed. (P8) I am SO SORRY for this pile of angst I dumped on you, it's just a headcanon I had for a long while, and I finally wanted to share it with someone. I don't know why I love to torture this poor characters so much, but I do. To add a tiny bit of fluff - on their first birthday together, they dig through the old receipts and try to make THE DISH together, but it's an absolute disaster! :D Once again, sorry for the ramble, you're awesome and I hope you have a nice day! :)    

Wow... Welcome to angstville, everyone! :’D That aside, that is a good headcanon! I can see how Caryn was unaware of things either one went through. Even if she had no idea what went on behind closed doors, she was pretty damn supportive of her boys.  And loved the little fluff at the end! It’s never quite the same as she made it, but it still holds some sentimentality to them.

Screaming HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY to my very first & bestest friend I ever gained in this life. I am so beyond lucky to call you my brother. Since it has been over 9 months since I've last seen you in person or hugged you, and this is probably the first year in our lives I have not been with you on your birthday to celebrate (and I'm sad about it), I obviously had to make a long and sappy FB post. So here it goes.....

My Dearest Bubba, I love you more than I could ever really put into words (but I will still try my hardest). You will always be my most and undoubtedly favorite person on this earth. (Even though when I was finally born, you asked mom and dad to bring me back to the hospital as soon as they brought me home for the first time, because you decided you didn't want a sister, I STILL LOVE YOU UNCONDITIONALLY.)You have always been and continue to be the absolute most important person I will ever have in my life. You are my biggest supporter, as I am yours, and our bond only gets stronger with time. You're the one I have shared my most special and memorable experiences, loudest laughs, saddest cries, and deepest secrets with. You may be 3 years older, but in our hearts, we both know we've always been and acted more like twins than just siblings.

 From you choosing what my name would be when mom was still pregnant with me, to teaching me how to play video games, to us acting up in church & then going home to get simultaneous spankings, to binging me to my first bar ever when I turned 18 (& then taking care of a very drunk me), to bringing me to get my first tattoo, to us doing an Ouija board in the swamp and abandoned churches/buildings, to bringing me to some of the best concerts and shows (RIP MAC) I've ever experienced, to us simply binge-watching Criminal Minds on repeat for over 10+ years, to us screaming Never Let You Down by Rita Ora and Vanessa Carlton songs on the top of our lungs on car rides, or making ourselves into family guy characters and giving yourself peg legs....you have been there through it all.  You have never abandoned me or left my side no matter the reason; whether if it's simply to make fun of me, encourage or push me to be my best self, guide me, or just be a comfort, you have always looked out for me and supported me without any ounce of judgement. 

I have always looked up to you more than anyone in this world. Your bravery, confidence, and unconditional love go unmatched by anyone else I've ever known. 

In 2009, at only 17 years old...you endured one of the most traumatic experiences any human (much less a teenager) could ever experience. In just a split second, you were almost taken away from our family. BUT, being the STRONG, PERSISTENT and HARD-HEADED warrior that you are, not only fought, BUT overcame, conquered and grew from your accident. It was/has been a extremely tough and long journey, but in the end YOU proved EVERYONE wrong that originally told us you were not coming back to us, or that you would not be able to walk, talk and live a normal life again. You knew you were not done on this earth and overcame the impossible. You are this family's living, breathing, walking MIRACLE and I don't know a single person who does not look up to you. You are the most selfless, headstrong, compassionate, and understanding person I have ever been blessed with knowing. Even through your own struggles and battles, there has NEVER been a time where you don't put someone else's well-being, feelings, and needs before your own. No matter how small or enormous it may be, you are always the one to make sure everyone else is okay before you even think about yourself. You deserve everything and nothing less than anything you dream of and aspire to be in this life. I hope you realize how many people in this world you have touched, inspired, and been a light for in your 30 years on this earth. I hope you have the best damn birthday that you've ever had and know how bad I can't wait to wrap my arms around you and see you again in 9 days!!!!! HAPPY DIRTY 30 TO THE BEST BROTHER, SON , FRIEND, DOG & CAT UNCLE, & DOG DAD TO EVER EXIST!!! I HOPE THIS NEW DECADE IS YOUR BEST ONE YET!! I LOVE YOU FOR INFINITY!!!!

Whether you think you can or you think you can't, either way you're right. — Henry Ford

Hello everyone,

My name is Michael Gallagher and I live in Boynton Beach, FL. I’m 34 years old and have an amazing wife Jennifer, as well as two furry doggies Maci and Rusty. We can refer to them as kiddies! I didn’t grow up in FL but I feel like I’ve spent most of my life here…most of my life being my journey that is. I grew up in Southern IL in a little town called Metropolis. My high school graduation class consisted of 144 students. I hear that’s a good size auditorium class in most parts of the country. Needless to say there isn’t a whole lot going on in my “home away from home.”

On my mom’s side of the family I grew up on our family farm and spent a majority of my early life helping my grandfather and uncle’s with the traditional farming, bush-hogging, throwing bails of hay, even building and constructing grain bins. You name it, I was always available to lend a hand. Now I’m going to tell you, I have a lot of respect for my family and what they have done over the years. My grandfather is a well respected man and has definitely earned a name for himself. My two uncle’s knew right away this was what they wanted to do and worked toward the family business early on. There’s not a weak or selfish bone in any of their body’s and that’s why I love and respect them like I do. I’m saying this because as noble as it may have been, I knew in my heart that I wasn’t meant to become a farmer. I just felt like there was more out there for me and at the time I may or may not have realized it but I did know one thing, I knew one day I was going to make it big, bigger than anyone in my town could have ever imagined!

On my dad’s side of the family my grandfather owned a burial service company. Basically they would prepare burial vaults and upkeep the cemetery from mowing, to any type of maintenance you could think of. My grandfather had about 5 or 6 men that worked for him so as much as I would have helped, there wasn’t a whole lot of room for me to get involved, although I did lend a hand from time to time. My father was actually one of the men who worked for my grandfather. We lived next door to the business so it wasn’t anything to see me running around “the building” during the day when everyone was at work. I was between the ages of 8-14 during this time so if there was mischief to get into, I probably wasn’t hard to find. I’ll never forget one day I knocked over a 5 gallon bucket of motor oil and it pooled out everywhere in one of the work areas. My grandfather found out and told me I wasn’t allowed in the building again until I was 50. He wasn’t serious of course but then again I wonder how much he was joking. Occasionally he would see me running around the property in general and remind me of my ban, as well as tell me that my stepmom Marilyn was calling me, insinuating I should probably run off or go back home. My nickname was Mick growing up so I can’t tell you how many times I heard the words, “Mick, I think Marilyn is calling you!” No matter if he was around the corner or within an earshot he made sure to get the point across every time. I never truly disappointed my grandfather but I always wondered if he knew how much I loved him.

You see, this side of the family wasn’t like my experience with the other side. I always felt like I was working a lot harder to gain recognition for anything I did. My parents divorced when I was 4 and as far back as I can remember my father wasn’t exactly the best role model in the world. He had a bad reputation, especially coming from a small town perspective so from the beginning I had an uphill battle, which I was ok with. For some reason I felt better knowing I had something to prove, something to show everyone that ever wanted to doubt me. Now it’s easy for me to just throw all the “blame” on things such as my father for example, but I can’t sit here and profess to be someone I am, even someone I’m trying to become if all I do is point the finger. My father may have had a bad reputation and he may not have been there for me like I needed growing up, but that doesn’t mean I should be judgmental toward him as a result. He’s my father and I wasn’t perfect growing up either. It was my responsibility to be the best person that I could be regardless if he was present like I needed or not.

I’ll never forget I was really good at basketball growing up. I averaged around 20 points a game, 5-10 boards, a handful of assists and rarely fouled out. I managed myself well in the game and everyone knew how good I was. I always asked my dad to come to my games, which he very rarely did, but one night in particular he actually showed up to one of my home games in the 8th grade. It’s funny because he chose to sit eye level right behind the goal, almost like another challenge for me to succeed being under constant supervision…aside from the fact that I had a game to play. Completely nervous and terrified I knew what I needed to do so I played my heart out. At the end of the game we won and I had 28 points on the night, I wanna say 8 assists as well. I was now set on showing my dad every game how much he had missed out and just how good I truly was. That was the last game my dad ever came to. I look back on this now and even though he never came to another game I still loved him just the same. It would have been easier for me though if he showed a little compassion every once in a while but regardless, it was still my responsibility to love him and appreciate him. I’m sure he didn’t truly want to let me down, so why should I be so quick to cast him away like I probably “should have.”

My mother on the other hand was my primary source of survival. She always tried her hardest and never missed an opportunity to let me know how much she cared for and loved me. Growing up may have been rough and lonely at times but it was absolutely what has molded me into the person I am today. No road is ever perfect in life and I think the ones that are the most bumpy truly define ones character much more than the others.

In my senior year of high school I knew I needed to do something with my life. My grades weren’t anything special, (out of 144 students, I graduated 72 in my class…consider that.) At the time, I didn’t know what I wanted to do but after hearing a Navy recruiter talk to a few of my classmates one day I was convinced I was going to join the Navy. Nine months prior to graduating high school I signed delayed-entry paperwork and readied myself to leave my home town and “Let the journey begin.” This wasn’t a hard decision because like I said, there wasn’t a whole lot going on in my town. I never partied in high school, never experimented with drugs, hardly dated, all I did with my leisure time was spend it with my fellow church friends at our southern baptist church. We were an active youth group and part of a great church family. We went on ski trips, mission trips, bible studies galore, just about everything you could imagine. We were active and that was good because it kept us out of trouble. I really grew a lot within that youth group and I’ll never forget the impact they made on my life!

Joining the Navy in 2001 was where I truly grew up. I was stationed in Jacksonville, FL and started to learn real quick that the world can be a hard and cruel place. This was where I finally knew what it meant to make it, to survive without anyone there to catch me if I fell. The Navy was a time in my life, a decision that I’ll never regret. Even though the Navy gave me the tools I needed to survive and be the man that I’ve become today, I knew it wasn’t what I truly wanted to do to become successful.

In 2008 in Jacksonville, I met my beautiful wife Jennifer on the beach. The weather was perfect and the beach was packed that day. A couple friends and I were throwing a football around when I noticed Jennifer and her sister sitting up toward the entrance to the beach. I told my one friend to get his 2 year old daughter Danica and have her go over to those “girls” and throw the football down at them, just so I could make the move. Well luckily, it all panned out and I’m here today proudly calling that woman my wife! At that time I had an instant goal and I knew I was willing to do whatever I had to do to obtain it.

Jennifer and I would date for approximately 2 and a half years and eventually got engaged for a year and a half before we married. I asked Jen to be my wife at our favorite restaurant Sambuca in Nashville, TN where we lived. Her sister Michelle was in town celebrating her birthday so at dinner I had a very important task at hand. I needed to manage a way to surprise Jen with my proposal as well as surprise Michelle with a birthday dinner, all on the same night and same place, while conspiring with both parties. Fortunately everything worked out flawlessly and by the end of the evening I was up on a stage in front of hundreds of people asking the woman of my dreams to marry me.

Nashville is where I discovered that I had a passion for wine. It wasn’t much at first but it was intriguing to say the least. I didn’t realize it but this passion would end up becoming my calling. It started when I was working at a local bistro restaurant in Franklin, TN. One day in our PDR (Private Dining Room) we were doing training on bottle service, specifically bottle presentation and wine etiquette at the table. I had no idea anyone could even order a bottle of wine at the table, let alone there was some formality to it. Here I was working at this bistro for over a month and I thought, if someone orders wine from me I’ll probably have to crawl in a hole after it’s all said and done. Fortunately I studied hard and often, asked tons of questions and formulated methods to doing the best presentation I could possibly master. Nobody ordered any wine from me around that time which may or may not have been a blessing although there was more money to be made when more money was spent. Along with that came knowing the wines, knowing where they came from, knowing the history of the grapes and the winemakers, knowing what foods to pair what wines with, so on and so forth. I had only scratched the scratch of the surface and didn’t even realize it, but it didn’t matter to me. Wine in general was starting to become very intriguing to me and I wanted to know more!

Eventually Jennifer and I decided to move to South FL and start fresh. We realized we had nothing holding us to TN and were still relatively young, so why stay in TN if we didn’t have to. Fortunately we didn’t have a plan, and I say fortunately because we knew we had a vision and a goal to be something great and when you have dreams and goals, as well as a strong person by your side who is the same way, you can have, be, and do anything you want! Funny thing because Jennifer’s first job once we settled in FL was selling wine. I took my previous restaurant work and focused on picking up where I left off in TN. I received a couple decent jobs but nothing that stuck so I eventually found another job at a much more substantial restaurant. The actual property had a 5 start hotel attached to it and the owners own some of the countries most popular wine labels in the business. I didn’t realize it at the time but I had just upgraded my pretty good job in TN to something much more accomplished. This would mean more knowledge of wine and more opportunities to grow in something I only had a grasp of. When I interviewed for the server position in the restaurant, the manager asked me a few questions about wine, some of which I knew very well. One question I didn’t know the answer to was, “name the 5 grape varietals found in a Bordeaux.” I may have known 3. This alone can squash you of any opportunity in this business because you have to know certain things to be hired. This manager saw something in me and hired me anyway. He knew there was something about me worth keeping.

I would eventually work in this restaurant for 2 and a half years at a very successful rate and during this time, as much as I loved wine, I did not love waiting tables. I appreciated what waiting tables brought to me as far as the knowledge, my regulars and/or connections, money obviously, but I knew I didn’t want to be a server for the rest of my life. I started looking into the medical program and more specifically becoming a Firefighter. It was somewhat relatable to my Navy days with the structure and comradery easily comparable.

In January of 2014 I left my job at the restaurant to focus on my state exam for EMT, as well as focus on enrollment in the Firefighter program. I knew it was important to devote my time to this while I was moving toward a career in the Fire service. Fortunately for me, I didn’t exactly fulfill my plans of becoming a firefighter right away. My grades weren’t sufficient enough for me to continue and as a result, I was dropped from the program about half way through the course. This also happened to me in EMT. All in all I took EMT and Fire both twice which to most people may have looked pretty bad. To me, which is why I’m so fortunate, I was able to find comfort and redemption in it because it reminded me of how hard I knew I had to work towards those goals, goals that I wasn’t about to let anything get in the way of. Persistence truly does pay off!

Jennifer had enough of corporate America and wanted to follow her dreams as an entrepreneur and start her own workout clothing line, Hallow + Plank. One of the reasons for moving to FL was allowing her to eventually do this and be closer to the industry and market that she felt would allow her business to thrive. Now, getting hired in the fire service is hard…very hard. Some people it takes years to get hired and some never even get the chance. Not to mention it’s nice if municipalities are even hiring to begin with. They say for each Firefighter class of students, maybe ¼ of them will get “picked up.” I never let that bother or hinder me and continued to focus on my goal and chief-aim of becoming a Fireman. I not only got hired once as a Firefighter, but I was hired again by another municipality, not to mention I was the first person in my class to get picked up. In fact, my first department hired 8 people from a stack of 2,000+ applicants during my first eligible hiring phase; I was the 7th person selected. The other department was a better fit for me so I took that job within a year of the other.

During all this time I never lost my love for wine. I still found myself spending hours online looking at auction sites, reading articles and books about various wines, purchasing different wines which at times could take up to hours in the store. Before I knew it, an hour had gone by and I didn’t even realize it. I knew most of the wines I was looking at, but it was a matter of picking the right ones at the right time. Never the less, I loved just being in the atmosphere surrounded by everything in general.

Now I’ve come to a point where I realize that following my dreams is more important than ever. My wife’s business is doing well and she’s constantly learning and improving on things everyday. Ultimately our goal is to live in California where Jen will take Hallow + Plank to the next level and I’ll work in the wine industry where I want to be. My whole life has been a journey that more and more is proving itself to me as the days go by.

Now as far as why I’m here. This blog is an opportunity for me to do a couple things: First, I want to learn as much as I can. I know I’m the one writing the blog but there’s so much to learn in this industry about wine, food, friends and family, ambitions, just life in general. I will never suggest that what I think is always correct or that the information I’m presenting is absolute. A lot of the times I think in life we are so quick to offer what we think, that we shut off our ears for the opportunity to actually learn. God gave us 2 ears and one mouth or one hand when writing…so use them proportionally. The next thing I want to do is empower or inspire others to succeed. We can all learn something from each other so it’s always a win-win when multiple people are on board with one particular topic or concept.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I look forward to hearing from you and sharing the things that I think we can all benefit from. Wine is a journey that brings people together and I can’t wait to go on this journey with you!

Cheers

all questions you can't let any be sad and unanswered

Okay anon here we go! 

1.Who was the last person you held hands with? I honestly have no idea. I’m not a very hand-holdy person. Best guess would be @thegoinbetweens whilst being annoying/weird, haha. 2. Are you outgoing or shy? I’d err more on outgoing, at least in small groups of people. But out going in a more being-generally-friendly sense, more than grand gestures of extroversion, haha. 3. Who are you looking forward to seeing? I’m really looking forward to seeing my family at the end of the month. :34. Are you easy to get along with? I’d like to think so, if you mean just casually getting along. I can be hard to genuinely get to know. 5. If you were drunk would the person you like take care of you?

Enjoys walking through quiet areas at night, talking. Good taste in music because I have useless music taste and would want to mooch off of his, haha. Moves hands a lot while talking.

Sheer willpower and the realization that I have responsibilities and need to be a functioning human. 46. What are you paranoid about? Literally everything.

Nope, don’t really want to. 48. Have you ever been drunk? Tipsy, yeah. Properly drunk, I don’t think so. 49. Have you done anything recently that you hope nobody finds out about?

It is green~~~~~51. Ever wished you were someone else? Yeah, and also no? Like I value the perspective I have on life and wouldn’t necessarily want to give that up to forever be someone else who sees the world completely differently. But it would also be really cool just to live a day through someone else’s experience and perceptions and way of being. 52. One thing you wish you could change about yourself? I’d be nice to be less focused on negative things sometimes. ^^53. Favourite makeup brand? Not sure I really have one tbh. Don’t use it often enough.
