My birthday is in less than a month - 12/22

And since I didn't get anything I asked for last year, I'm going to ask for the same stuffs again.

That post from last year can be viewed here. Buy me something.

As usual, I'll just be happy if I can get someone to give me a ride somewhere so I can go out and have a few drinks and some sort of a good time. It's a Wednesday, so I'm pretty likely to have the night off.

So it's December 20th....

Almost the 21st.

I have no idea what I'm doing for my birthday.

I'm off for the night so I'm asuming it's going to be just another night off.

Which really sucks. I just want to go out some where and have a few drinks. That's all I want. And since both me and Kathy are broke untill after Christmas, I'm probly just going to be giving that to myself after the holidays.

Sadly, that's been a typical birthday for me for thje past few years.

Well here's a big thanks in advance for nothing.

So my birthday is in a little over a month...

...So buy me something.

I have a wish list on Games-Workshop.com. And another on miniwargaming.com. And another on Amazon.com. Buy me stuffs. Or give me money/gift cards and I'll buy my own stuffs. Taking me out to some sort of a good time is also perfectly acceptable.

Remember – December 22.

Never mind how old I'm going to be. Just buy me stuff.

So my birthday...

...was just another day

For the most part.

Good day though. very light night at work. A local restaurant did bring the staff a considerable amount of food. I ate more than I should have throughout the night. More to work off after the holidays are over, but I'm not complaining. It was quite the relaxing night and I don't get many of those.

Some of the good people at TheologyOnline wished me a happy birthday, that was cool.

My mother bought me something, I don't know what yet. Haven't had a chance to find out.

I'm thinking back over the last year, it wasn't the best -

• An argument with my father resulted in me moving out of my parents' house again before I was ready. I wanted to finish out my degree.
• I moved twice and that about killed my finances for a while. The last move was into the ghetto.
• There's several more people that I used to call my friends that I will never speak to again. Many of them I doubt were friends to begin with. Acquaintances at best.
• I missed out on DragonCon.
• I missed out on a Crüxshadows concert.
• I didn't do any performing.
• I bought another car, only to have it breakdown on me.
• I couldn't get financed for the car I really wanted.

But on the good side of things -

• I lost a little more weight.
• I have my own place and it's all mine.
• I think I may have grown up a little.
• I'm in great health.
• I have a girlfriend that loves me and has stayed with me through all the bad stuff. She's been so loving and supportive too.
• Through hard work I got my finances back in order.
• I've made some new friends. At least one of which was very unlikely.

So I'm not totally bitter. I'm trying not to be bitter at all. I have some plans and goals before the next birthday -

• Go back to college.
• Get my girlfriend moved in.
• Lose more weight, I'd like to drop about 60 lbs.
• Get a better job.
• Move out of the ghetto.
• Fix the Escort and either sell it or start driving it.
• Get some work done on the Beetle.
• Spend more time practicing on my violin.
• Work more with music. I'd love to record something. Or at least perform an original work.
• Try to more closely follow Stoicism.

Looks like a lot, let's see what happens in the next year.
