UPDATE: I had Subway for dinner... an Italian BMT, specifically. It was delicious. My mom and I also went shopping for a digital SLR camera. I'm thinking of getting the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT. What do you think?
I turn 23 today, and my mom offered to take me out somewhere to eat. I don't really care where, exactly. KFC or White Castle would be fine, but I think my family's thinking more along the lines of somewhere nicer. Steak n' Shake would be ideal.
Notable birthdays today: Oliver Cromwell, "Simpsons" voice-actor Hank Azaria, Renee Zellweger, "My Name is Earl" star Jason Lee, and Gina Torres of "Alias/Firefly/Cleopatra 2525" fame. My big break will come soon, I feel. I'm either going to become a huge star or incite a rebellion in England.
Notable deaths? Lisa "Left-Eye" Lopez. That day America lost an icon.
And let's not forget Chernobyl. Hoo boy, talk about "April is the cruellest month!"
While driving my mom to work last night, I asked her exactly how I was born. Apparently, when I came out, I was incredibly dark and looked black. My dad, naturally, suspected my mom of infidelity and proceeded to beat her with his belt. No, just kidding. My mom, however, did sleep around with many, many anonymous men (she is, after all, Filipino, and lemme tell yah, our women ain't known for their immaculate hygiene!).
She also noted the horrible, disfiguring scar my birth left behind from her caesarean section. According to her, I chose to "flip around," which I attribute my current inability to conform to social norms. It also accounts for my ability to perform somersaults naked and covered in placenta.
Last year's birthday was a suckfest-to-the-7th-power. Only my parents and Zach remembered my birthday, and Zach -- knowing I was in a crappy mood to begin with -- had to remind my other friends of my birthday. At 11:30pm or so, 5 minutes after my dear friend invited people to go out, I received a bunch of phone calls of people wishing me a happy birthday. I refused to pick up the phone for some people, especially the ones I considered really close friends. It was a crappy birthday, for the most part, but then again that entire year was shitty. Word of advice, though: if someone calls you to remind you of a person's birthday, and it's late at night, don't call them 5 minutes after being reminded nor half-an-hour before the actual birthdate ends; this makes you look like a complete asshole.
I've been listening to Jimmy Eat World's "23," just because it makes me feel good about being alive another year. I dunno, I have a lot of hope being 23 now, and I feel this year is going to be better. On top that, I'm really emo. Feel free to download the track here while I go cut myself with my "Saves the Day" buttons.
On a less serious note, I was fucking this guy in the ass, and he turns around and looks at me like I'm gay!
And here, my friends, is your thought of the day!
