I wait for this day every year and I am sooo excited it's finally here! I've been thinking about it even more than I did my birthday!
Aaaand you say: Andi, why is August 13, 2004 so imortant to you?
Aaaand I say: Because on August 13, 1970, Matthew Hyson was born, better known as, Spike Dudley

Every year I plan to write something but every year, I feel that my writing skills aren't up to par enough to write anything in the honor of Spike. A long time ago, I wrote something called "Ode to Spike Dudley" but it was just spur on of the moment and it was on a message board. Sure, I used to write for a wrestling website (Which I will not list here so you can go back and read all my embarassing articles) but I truly think I was hired because I would be the youngest person there, therefore, creating a gimmick for the site, but, I regress.

It is Spike Dudley's birthday, and in celebration, I have decided to do these things:
-Not get upset by all the little things that usually upset me. I'll have plenty of time for that tomorrow.
-Watch whatever old taped Smackdowns/Raws that I have with a match he was in. Including my favorite, which is a funny little angle between Steven Richards, Terri, and himself
-Wear my imaginany Spike Dudley shirt that WOULD have been real if I had ordered it a little sooner.
-Watch, and this is my favorite, "Before They Were WWF Superstars: Vol. 1", but ONLY his segment (which is kinda what I do anyway)
-And finally, but not least, just try and hope that by next year, maybe just maybe, I would have gotten to meet him (offiicially that is) and maybe even get the chance to wish him late/early happy birthday in person.

Oh yes, that reminds...a few days ago I posted something that looked like this: SPIKE IS A HEEL!
Okay, for all you non wrestling fans that read this out of sheer boredom, a "heel" is simply a bad guy. Spike has been a "face" (A good guy) his whole time in the WWE, which pretty much got him no where except a prematurely killed storyline with Molly Holly. So, going heel, in this case, is a very good thing.

Okay, I've killed your interest already, so I'll end it here by saying: HAPPY BIRTHDAY SPIKE!!!!

Happy birthday to the coolest Dudley out there, Spike! Where ever you are, I hope you having the greatest day possible and don't let the fact that it fell Friday the 13th spook ya. Don't do anything Andi would do(which is sit around all day watching "Jason" movies. Good thing you don't have time for that). Love, Andi
