Its a birthday, anyway!

Well, I made it, 30. Sometimes, its really hard for me to believe. I used to remember at Christmas time "I will be this age next year" or, when I was young, I would always think to myself what it would be like to be 30, I dont think I ever thought I would be living in Korea. I suppose on the list of eventfulness, this birthday ranks pretty low. I went to work and came home. Looking back on my past three birthdays (thats as far back as I can recall) 2005 was by far the best. It started hanging out with a good friend, then later, 9 others, including one special someone, joined at Ring of Fire for dinner. After that, we all joined up back at Birch for a prefunking, and then ended up at RockNRodeo. Pretty fun for a night in Eugene. Come to think of it, that whole weekend, thursday-sunday was filled with awesome adventure. The next day, Joel, Drew and I went to Track town pizza for dinner, won some stuff, drank widmer and got passes to the Widmer tent for the Civil War game the next day. On saturday we had a civil war brunch that druw and I put together, with Mamosas and everything breakfasty you could think of. We walked to the game and went to the widmer tent around 1030. We drank a few beers in about 15 degree weather, then at halftime of the game ran into some friends and headed over to the NW natural gas tent and closed it. On sunday, Drew joel and I wanted some NFL ball and relaxed. After that we went to the library to try and do some work, but we just kept talking about the past few days.
In 06, It was a bit different, I had a GF who I thought was in love with me, and had about 4 straight days of birthday activities....which honestly, I cant recall what all was done, but I remember it was pretty fun. 07 I spent in Cabarete with my fellow dream staff, didnt do much, the rain was coming down in buckets. and that brings us back to 08. So, I dont have anything too profound to say about this day, or this milestone, thankfully, but I will say I am glad to be around and that says something.
