A birthday wish

12/12/12

The last time any of us will see such a date. With a little clever numerology the world ends on my birthday - 12/21/12. Armageddon.Guess I wasn't clever enough... world is still here, but only barely. 9 days now... prepare yourselves. As for myself, I could not have asked for a better birthday.

I woke up warm and cozy at 8 and was served a nice cup o' Joe. I played my favorite game (Heroes of Might and Magic III, for those of you who know), and I actually found some new content for it, now some 10 years after its initial release. Bran muffins were on the bill for breakfast, also my favorite. Morning yoga by my personal trainer, the wonderful Tanya, perked me right up for an afternoon mountain hike.

She got me an awesome new pipe along with some high quality tobacco which I crysined by a half frozen waterfall. It's so nice to have a quality pipe again (I lost mine in Utah somewhere). We ate delicious wraps with avocado for lunch with spinach dip waiting for me at home.


Dinner was zucchini casserole with Hop Czar pale ale. The box had a king looking guy on it. The Czar! More spinach dip obviously had to happen for dessert. I continued to stuff my face and drink my beer well past midnight, and by the time I passed out all of the snacks had been eaten. I was happy as a tick on a healthy dog.

Birthday go number two continued the next day. We had big night plans, so I slept in till noon or so, saving up my energy, ya know. I officially got my first job too, which was bending metal rods into rings for wreaths. It paid $10. I'm rich!


I happily played games for what little of the day there was. Jess, Austin, Tanya and I all went out to Hodi's Halfnote for some big show that night. Chips and dip, veggies and ranch and cookies were free for the munching once inside, and we got a free CD too. Hodi's is awesome. Some 8 bands played, and we shut her down. Tanya was the DD so I was pretty drunk by the end of it all, but what are birthdays for if not celebrating.

I may be getting old, but this has been one of the best birthdays yet. At least I can still get down. It's getting back up that's the problem...
