so as of today i am now a full fledged 31 year old.... i know, it's a bit much to take in at this moment for myself and i still think that i don't even fully act this age. but we'll see how we go with it.
this weekend and this birthday was probably one of the better ones i've had in years (i wonder why that is...) but it really helped reaffirm the fact that i do in fact have some of the best friends in the world. everyone, from the people i live with to those that live hundreds or even thousands of miles away made a very VERY appreciative effort to make my day very special.
a little known fact about myself, i honestly don't like my birthday all too much.... weird to think? maybe... i guess i don't like being the center of attention or people having to go out of their way to make me feel special... as cheesy as it may sound i honestly think just having everyone as friends is already special enough as it is that there really isn't anything more that needs to be said or done for me to know how my friends feel or think about me.
even though that is the case, it was still a very VERY nice gesture and one that i probably will remember for a long time. there are only a few birhtday celebrations that i do in fact remember, maybe the most recent one is party bus about 5 years ago, or maybe that one time we all played mafia at mikey's house and trev came up to surprise me that weekend... those were probably some of the best birthdays i ever had and this year ranks right up there with all of them... (ironic that the birthdays that i remember the most are the ones where i actually don't remember anything at all due to inebration and intoxication) but it is fun nonetheless.... i only hope and pray that i don't make too big of a fool of myself in the process.
i only hope that i can repay the favor my friends have shown me in return.
to all those that made my day special, from a simple birhtday greeting, a text message, a birthday cake, a birthday lunch, a bottle of scotch, a surprise present filled with my new hobby of mine, a reall life journal with more questions than i can answer, a canvas of my favorite cartoon, a lottery ticket, a birthday card, a birthday voice mail, a funny youtube email, an email in tagalog that i needed my mom to help me translate, a birthday bikeride, birthday cupcake, an instagram post, hanging out and watching movies with me all day, a shot that i don't remember taking, a drunk walk back to the house after the cab drops us off 3 blocks from home, a slice of buttered toast on my bedside to cure my throbbing hangover, a bro hug, a smile, and a kiss from my favorite puppy.... thank you from the bottom of my heart... it really means a lot from all you gals and guys.... bros and sis's.... parents and uncles.... neices and nephews.... you guys are the best and know that i would keep trying to be the best for you guys as well
