My Birthday
So my birthday came and went yesterday. I'm now 33 years old, single, living alone. Alone, the key word is. How did my day go? B left me a text message wishing me a happy birthday. But she's busy with a wedding all weekend long, so no time to stop by or meet up with me. My friend Danny's in LA this weekend. One of my sister calls me up to wish me a happy birthday. I haven't heard anything from my other sister nor my parents. Which is odd, since my parents usually call me up and wish me a happy birthday. I called up my ex to see if she wanted to go to lunch, but she was busy too, and already had plans to do something. How funny, as I am writing this, my parents just called me up to wish me a happy belated birthday. Most of the day went to doing nothing. I purchased a nice air compressor from sears on friday, and went to harbor freight to pick up some cheap air tools on saturday. Spent a little bit of time hooking up the new air tools to test if they work. Did a few errands. Got a call from my friend Martha wishing me a happy birthday later on at night.
The only day of the year where it's all about me, me, me, me. It literally was just me. It sucks when there isn't anybody around to lavish all their attention to you. Almost as bad as being alone on valentine's day. Actually worse, cause now you're older.
I really shouldn't be complaining, I have a few good friends who care about me, a family that does too. I make good money, have my own place. But this is my first year living alone without a girlfriend. So far I've been through one thanksgiving, one christmas, one new year's, one valentine's, and now one birthday living alone. I guess I've now made it through all the major holidays and annual events. Christmas and thanksgiving isn't too bad since I usually spend time with family, but man, new year's, valentine's and my birthday really sucks without anyone.
But I really shouldn't be complaining, I'm planning on celebrating my birthday this saturday so that most of the people I know can make it.

Happy belated, man! Funny, my Mac didn't remind me. Sorry, dude! And at least you'll have a big party on Saturday where you can make sure someone else drives you home safely. Maybe a hot chick or something. :-)
Happy Birthday--if you could ever talk Cindy Lou into celebrating her b-day you could throw a party together.
I understand about being alone on the major holidays without a significant other, it does make it hard. BUT it makes you stronger and when you DO get a girlfriend you will appreciate her that much more!!
Happy Belated! 33 is not bad for a guy. You males only get sexier and more sophisticated as your age increases. We women start deteriorating in value. (As far as the opposite sex views us, I mean.) 30 for women is supposed to be the cash-in-your-chips age, whereas for men, 30 is the beginning of when women start taking you seriously. You lucky guy, you. ;)
Have a great time on Saturday, don't forget to post photos of the celebration! You can celebrate my belated bday, too, and have a drink to that (which you'll get your friends to pay for). In fact, Flat Coke, you and Bat should go out and do the same! I'll be at home doing laundry and vacuuming. (How DO you spell that word?)
I'm on call this weekend or I would go out and have MANY drinks on both your behalves! I think you got that word right Cindy--vacuuming...two c's? two u's? two m's? Heck I can't remember!!
I have one of your gifts. It was in my car this morning, so I took it out at work and put it in the fridge... unfortunately it is still there. I hope the kids don't drink it...
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!!!!
