Can't stop posting, I'm on a roll. Not too much to report, just wanted to let everyone know how my birthday went. Highlights include skyping to various friends and family member from around 9-3, taking a nap and going out for buffalo wings (though without bleu cheese dressing, I don't think it exists in Thailand.) We were going to check out trivia night at a local but we lingered over dinner and Julia wasn't feeling well, so we came home. But she did buy me a chocolate sundae from McDonald's as my birthday present AND found the buffalo wing place, so I'm not mad. :) Then we had about a two hour discussion on everything ranging from politics to culture wars to college stereotypes to Gus Van Sant movies. And really, any day that includes naps, buffalo wings and weighty discussions is a great one in my book. So overall, a very good birthday. Hope everyone is doing well back home, gonna find a job tomorrow I decided. So I got that going for me, which is nice.
TPWWLT - 'What My Age Again?' - Blink 182
PS - There is a line in the song that goes, 'Nobody likes you when you're 23...' and last year we went out for my birthday to bar where there is a lot of dancing, and they played that song, and since I was a year older than all my friends (woo 5th year), they all took great delight in screaming it at me every time they say it in the song. And as I listen to it now, I think I'm going to miss that.
PPS - Also, it was kinda of nice being 23. 'Oh, how old are you?' 'Michael Jordan.' My name is Mike, I'm from Chicago, it just fit. Who am I going to say now? Kobe? Griffey? Willie Mays? Its just not the same.
PPPS - I would like to wish a Happy Birthday to Baby Spice, Geena Davis, Placido Domingo, Jack Nicklaus, and a very special 186th birthday to Thomas 'Stonewall' Jackson.
hahaha i liked this post. sounds like it was a good birthday after all.
ReplyDeleteone might say, off the chain.
also, im glad to see you have made up your mind about finding a job :)
1) Good choice on the job thing. In my opinion...finding a job > receiving total consciousness.
ReplyDelete2) That night at Joe's was awesome. I took about 15 minutes of video that night. I think Akshay may have been the best part.
3) You can say..."I'm 24, just like the TV show"
Mike, Did you get my card? Just want to know for future mailings. Happy Belated BDay. Love you, Grammom
ReplyDeleteJasmine - it was very off the chain :)
ReplyDeleteCarro - I like where your head is at, but I think I'm just going with 'I'm Jack Bauer'
Grammom - they just slid it under my door today! Thank you very much, TWO piece of mail now :)
