one less day.

so today i'm a year older than I was a year ago today. I'm a big 26 and as odd as it sounds, I feel like that 26 is younger than 25. My fam surprised me last night with cake and gifts. i thought it would be tonight, but it was last night.
I feel good today, I really didn't do anything special except have a couple beers with a friend. Funny, I went to clean his apartment because I'm watching his cats and apt, and I knew he was coming back from the Europe tour this week but I didn't know when, but it was today. So I had an impromptu "party". I cleaned while we listened to music and had some beers. It was kind of wierd how he was hanging out and I was vacuuming and mopping the bathroom, etc. . But hey, he was there so it made it cool for me to hang out with a friend, one of the few I have around here. His girlfriend said something realy funny today. He told her it was my birthday and she said "oh. Now you have one less day", I thought that was hilarious!!!!
I was invited to a couple parties this past weekend and didn't go. There was a big one up in Boston that would have been really cool, and another one in the next town. Mainly, I didn't go beacause I was house sitting and I wanted to be around the house as much as possible because I got paid almost a weeks pay to do that. The other reason was that I didn't want to put myself in an extremely tempting situation. I think it was God that protected me a few ways. The first party, the big one, is all the way in Boston, thats 2 hours a way, and I would have to be back in the morning to play bass at church. The second one was put on by one of the cashiers at work, she is 16 and there would drinking there. She said her parents were putting it together and her big brothers would be there. Three things kept me from going. 1: under age drinking, and I am of age so if the police came I'm S.O.L. . 2: I think she likes me, and would be drunk, therefore I avoided any possible situation where she could try anything..."bad". 3: she would have been the only one there that I knew, making it very awkward. So all in all I done good by not going. I did, however go see The Shining at a movie house/cafe on saturday, which was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, it has been a while since I blogged. I just haven't felt like typing anything. I've been trying to stay off the computer, as i was getting addicted to it. I try to do other things. I think I've changed a bit recently. Living alone for a week can do things to you, not bad necessarily, just things. Watching TV for a whole week can deffinetly do stuff too. It messes with your head, it changes your values and thoughts, and sense of humor. It makes you look at life differently. Suddenly the world looks a bit more exciting and smaller.
I love the Dave Chappelle show!!! It is so hilarious!!!! It is so racist it just pushes the limits of taboo. I heard a comic once talk about their irreverence and explained it. They said that "you have to look at everything as if nothing is sacred and everything is fair game. If you start drawing lines around things and not picking on some things and other things you go all out on, it begs the question 'why not those things' and you start to look mean and hipocritical instead of funny." I may not agree with doing that, but I do like the way they look at comedy. It does make sense and it helps me understand comics a little more. You really have to have no sense of morality or value to look at life like that, but hey, it makes me laugh.
Thanks again for the birthday wishes!!
