"Las Mañanitas"


Dave Younce is 30 Today!

A Haiku:

In grade school we met
he was wearing camo pants
now, Dave's gots kids. Wow.

Las Mañanitas is what they sing in Mexico instead of Happy Birthday.

When you put Dave Younce into Google. He is not the first. But he is second! The first guy is some Principal in Chicago. Boooo! But our Dave tops out over some police instructor in Indiana, and some sort of Native American shaman type "Earthkeeper". The second page has an Air Force Reserve officer, and then way more of our Dave. Way to go! Push for first place in overall Dave Younce searches on Google!

There are fun anagrams for Dave Younce! OK, fun might be overstating things, but still!
Avenue Cody
Dance You've
Day Cue Oven
Cave Nude Yo-- that one's a little dirty, better watch out.
A Cuny Do Eve-- whoops! that one might be NSFW Hehehe moving on!

If you assign a value to each letter of his name and add them up (D=4 A=1 V=22 E=5 and so on)
you get 115.

115 is a lucky number. This is a mathematical concept that I don't really understand, but that Dave should find interesting!

He shares his exact birthday with an Estonian javelin thrower. Also born on September 27th are Gwyneth Paltrow, Avril Lavigne, and Meat Loaf. Donald O'Connor died a few years ago on his birthday (nota personal a mi padre: La conseguí para enderezar este vez, gracias).

In all likelihood, Dave was conceived on Christmas 1776 Happy Birthday Baby Jesus, and America!

Astrologically, Dave is a Libra. This means he is supposed to be pleasant, clever and articulate. Physically, he is supposed to have a graceful figure, a high forehead, and a trademark dimple.

I read Dave's blog daily, and look forward to actually hanging out with him one of these days before he leaves for London.

Happy Birthday young man!

This is awesome! I love the haiku. Wow- it's really hard to believe that Dave was conceived in 1776! I guess he's older than I thought! :) That's some birthday song, too. Did you know Dave's fluent in Spanish?

I didn't think we met until 7th grade.

OH WAIT! Were you at White Oaks for the half-year I went in 3rd grade?

Oh yes, I was indeed at White Oaks. I remember a young man with some sort of hyperactivity super power, and a tendency towards camo pants. Honestly. Don't remember to much else from that year, but I could pick 8 year old you out of a line up. Don't ask me why. Just one of those things that stick with you.

By the way everyone, I forgot to mention in my rambling post:

Dave has a wicked awesome 'stach.
