It’s Jason’s 40th Birthday Today, Let’s Celebrate!

Uncategorized / by

Today is a very special day.  It is the day we get to celebrate the 40th birthday of my business partner, Jason Crouch.  I met Jason several years ago and I must admit I am very happy to have done so.   He is a father of four, a wonderful husband and someone I am proud to call a friend.

So, for his birthday today I tried to figure out what could I do to help make his birthday special.   After a long time of consideration & thought, I think I figured out a great solution.  Jason is someone who loves comments & stuff shared.  I remember him writing a post once titled: How to Get Over 100 Comments on Your Blog Posts – A Retrospective. The post became so popular that the network it was on had to shut it off after the post had over 3,000 comments.  It was something he was very proud of and also something he was very sad to see shut off. So for his birthday today, I thought to myself: “Why not try for something like that here?”

Our blog here on 210 has been pretty popular in the past. It has had a few posts with several comments and a few that have been Re-Tweeted and shared on Facebook 50-75 times.  So I thought, how cool would it be if we could share this post across our social networks over 100 times today and get at least 100 comments on it for Jason.  I think it would be a fitting present for him.

In case you wanted something of value, here are a few other interesting things that happened on this day in history:

  • Today is the 229th day of the year.
  • Davey Crockett, Sean Penn, & Jim Courier were also born on August 17th.
  • On this day in 1982 the first Compact Discs were released to the public in Germany
  • In 2008 on this day Michael Phelps won 8 gold medals.
  • Jason Crouch Born

So, I know those aren’t really that interesting, but why don’t you put something interesting in the comments & share this already!

HAPPY 40TH JASON!

  14. THANK YOU to Jeremy for this surprise birthday post. Fun!

    Clint – That means a lot coming from you – truly. As I’ve said before, you are one of the most transparent people I’ve encountered in social media, so I know you are telling the truth. Thanks for stopping by today!

    Katherine – Thank you so much. We really enjoyed meeting you and Jeremy and Isabelle in Atlanta. I hope we have a chance to meet Jeremiah next year, too!

    Connie – So far, the 40’s are awesome. 🙂 I enjoyed meeting you at RETSO, too. Thanks!

    Debbie – Thanks so much! I feel terrific!

    Thanks Leah! Much appreciated.

    Lori – Thank you, my friend! I think I might have some pie instead of cake today. 🙂

    Dick – Nice tune – seems familiar to me somehow. Could you hum a few bars? Thanks very much!

    Pamela – Thanks so much, my friend. By the way, are we ever going to actually speak on the phone? 🙂 Have a great day!

  16. Happy Birthday Jason! Hope you have a special day. And I know you are dropping weight like crazy, but do treat yourself just a little… 🙂

  18. Steve Buscemi told me to tell you Happy Birthday!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY! And congrats on the weight loss goals being met. That’s incredible!

  19. Glenn – Thanks, man. I’m certain that you’re right. In fact, I already feel that way. I love my life – truly.

    Lori – Thanks so much! I think I’ll treat myself somehow – just not sure what to have yet. I love pie, though. 🙂

    Bobby – Thank you, sir! I appreciate you stopping by and I’ll always take compliments. Those are some of the best gifts of all. 🙂

  20. Hey Jason…did you know that on August 17, 1970 there was a partial lunar eclipse in your honor? Did you know that Christine McVie joined Fleetwood Mac and sang a song just for you, however, topping the charts that week was Close to you by The Carpenters…well, I hope you have the best birthday ever because 40 only comes around once!! Welcome to the 40’s club Jason!!

    Diane – Thanks for the facts. I actually knew about the Carpenters, but not the other stuff. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by and for official “welcome” to the club.

    Susie – Thanks very much. As I mentioned yesterday on Facebook, I lead a blessed life and I am truly happy and content.

  24. Jason is so old that mayonnaise smells him to see if he’s expired.
    Jason is so old that his arthritis has arthritis.
    Jason is so old that he can’t remember what he doesn’t remember.
    Jason is so old that he only celebrates birthdecades now.
    Jason is so old that the fossil record studies him.
    Jason is so old that he has been kicked been kicked out of Menudo four times separate times.
    Jason is so old that the hill he walked up both ways in the snow to school was Mount Olympus.
    Jason is so old that he remembers Joan Rivers’ original face.

    Have a great forty, not so big guy.

  25. Jason’s 40? Shut up – doesn’t look a day over 39!!! 🙂

    All the best, sir – been a pleasure getting to know you. Will tip a glass of the good stuff in your honour 🙂

  29. Thanks Robert!

    Paul – Thanks for making me laugh out loud. And yes, I actually DO remember Joan Rivers’ original face. I even had a VINYL ALBUM of her stand-up when I was a kid. Not making this up.

    Danny – Enjoy that glass, my friend. Thanks very much for your time today, as always. I finally subscribed to your blog via email (thought I had done that already). I’ll take “you only look 39” anyday. 🙂

  34. Hey Jason, have a great one, you certainly are an example to us all, willing to share, and being open and honest. Have a great day and enjoy the family.

  37. Happy Birthday Jason!

    On August 17th 1943 a major campaign of World War II concluded with the Allied Forces taking Sicily back from Italy and Nazi Germany.

  40. Happy Birthday Jason 🙂 Since I have known you, you have set some mighty high goals for yourself and move towards reaching them each day. That, my friend, is awesome! Proud of you and proud to be your friend. Happy Birthday old man!

  44. Jason, I feel honored to have been able to wish you a Happy Birthday today. I hope it was special. This was the first time I have actually been on the computer to comment. Have a great rest of your day.
