Well, it's not just my birthday. It is also marks the 9th year of this website. Going by internet averages, I should have gone under, been bought by a major corporation for stock shares. Then watch that value tumble as the Dow dips below 7000 and suddenly released to a grass roots effort. But then about now I'd be very hopeful that the new "everybody into the pool" stimulus package would help me out. It's a pity that it will only help out websites that are 10 years old or older. Curses!
Oh, sorry, where was I? Ah...yep, the picture is my new 3G iphone that Bren and Jade gave me. Bren kept watch at all the people mention, "oh you have the OLD iphone" and watching me try and defend it. ("Oh, yeah...well, uh... I don't need 3g speeds, I've got um....extra battery life...and uh and uh...sniff.)
I keep wondering what the fuss is about birthdays, but it gives us time to reflect on what we hold true and dear..
The coziness of coffee shops
Cookies and milk for their amazing restorative powers. Which lately has been really good at bringing back any poundage I've might have misplaced.
Doctor Who
Macbook Pros I don't have to fix on a weekly basis. (I can now can spend that time fixing my friends windows machines.)
Writing
Given a chance to see if I can excel as a developer.
Fried pickles at Hooters. (Guess where I went for lunch on my day off?)
The ability to run without stopping for a few miles (unless something really heavy cuts me off.)
Helping teach Jade to read...now, if I can just get her off of those Scooby Doo books.
Playing Warcraft with some of the coolest people in the world.
The love and care I get from friends, family, and loved ones. I want to say thanks for all your kind emails, facebook wall stuff, and reading my words.
