Sorry, I'm not doing one this week.  Today Nattata surprised me by announcing that today is my birthday.  Yes, it's true.  Today is my birthday.  It hasn't gone exactly according to plan.  I went out to lunch with my dad and he was going to take me to my favorite restaurant for lunch but he decided that if he took me without my mom that he would hear about it.  But, before we ate, he insisted that I get a haircut.  I guess I was looking sort of shaggy but it made a tight pompadour.  We went to a local bar and grill and had a sandwich.  I went to the house with him because he said they wanted me over for supper.  Well he opens the garage door and pulls the car in and as he is shutting the door with the remote I hear a loud snap and one of the springs on the garage door busts in two.  Luckily it went passed me otherwise I probably would have been knocked out.  I sat around and did some reading but then I realized I had some work I had to take care so I leave and go to church and make copies.  It took me an hour and half because the stupid copy machine didn't want to work for me.  Finally I got everything finished and headed to my parents' for supper.  Pulled pork sandwiches, potato salad, and vinegar cole slaw to top the pork and my mom made me a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting.  Thank god she didn't pull out any candles.  After supper they gave me my presents:  Guns N Roses "Chinese Democracy", The Flaming Lips "Christmas on Mars", a bag of soda poppers pop flavored candy and they rented a dvd for me.  Just a note: never rent a movie for someone else.  Let them pick it out.  They rented An American Carol and my mom said that she rented it for me because the lead actor is from Wisconsin and is the brother of the late Chris Farley.  Well that was a waste of an hour and 15 minutes.  I was going to head to the casino and waste the $24 free dollars that were given to me for birthday and player's club but it's snowing and sleeting.  We are supposed to get about 6 inches of snow tonight.  So I have just sat in tonight and now I thought I would share my day with you.

I really appreciate the birthday greetings I have received here on Xanga.  I don't know how to put this without being a prick but your greetings are much more and generous and meaningful than my supposed "real" friends, those who haven't said anything to me.  I just want to say that I appreciate your real friendship from people I haven't met.  It is moving and makes this cold-hearted bastard misty eyed.

Maybe I will crack open a bottle of gin tonight.  The night is young and I have nowhere to be this weekend.
I won't be celebrating like this:

I never knew cake could be erotic...oh wait, I did.  I went to an erotic bakery/porn shop.  The bakery part was just a book with the different cakes you could order.  It was a let down. 

Once again thank you.

Vielen Dank!
