I decided it'd be best to not let this thing sit around a rot, since nobody really reads it anyways and if I'm ever to attempt to build up some viewerbase (notice how I didn't say fans, because that will never happen...), I need to actually update the thing. So here we are. My isn't it lovely out, what with the sunny weather and the scent of freshly mowed grass eminating from my sharpie-mutilated Converse All-Stars. Yep, I've glanced all around myself and summer is definitely here. I have nearly absolutely no obligations to anybody except myself, and that feels refreshing. Whisps of the past are present too, if you're willing to do some deductive reasoning. Let's see... there are a whole bunch of birthdays towards the end of this month, and it takes 9 months for a baby to be born, and 9 months ago was the beginning of wintery weather, and there aren't too many things to do in the winter time to keep warm except... yes, it's all definitely falling into place. So, with my birthday around the corner I'm obliged to deliver my infamously awesome birthday list of bliss. Try saying that over and over, list of bliss....

1)A nintendorks T-Shirt. I have been wanting one of these for literally years, and it turns out one of my fellow Nintendorks actually has had a cafepress site with this stuff on it for years. If my parents don't buy me this, I'll have nathan do it or somebody. Definitely a must-have to top off my collection of geeky video game shirts.

2) Dance Dance Revolution MAX with a Red Octane pad and cover. I figured that it's time for an upgrade from the PSX version of DDR from 1999 and the $10 pad Nate donated to fuel my rapidly growing obsession. I plan to master the hell out of DDR MAX, then trade it in in september for DDR MAX 2 so I can actually play the songs at home then go to cary towne center and roofle pwnz0r all over the place. At least, those are my grandiose visions. D2R COME ON COME ON

3) An Elumix keyboard. This sweet thing costs a cool $79 after a $20 rebate offer they are holding this month, and will be indescribably glowy and funky and cool when used during those late night h4x0ring sessions I find myself holding so many nights of my life. I'll type this thing into the ground, and probably use it with every one of my future computers until the stinkin' LED lights die out in it in about 7 years. Prepare to have your keyboard be skooled by my keyboard.

4) The obligatory Case o' Bawls, along with some Penguin Mints. The nectar of God, as i've explained many a time in this blog and to my friends. I think I've talked my dad into buying some Penguin Mints too, so in conclusion, hooray for caffeine hyperbliss. Hyperbliss.....that's it, I'm patenting that word RIGHT NOW HYPERBLISS A GO-GO BABY!

Those are all of the things that i'll be getting online, I'm sure i'm leaving lots of other things out that people will remind me I wanted or I'll get and realize I was a dumbass for not asking for it earlier. Birthdays rock. I wonder what Megan is doing for me.... hmmm not the slightest clue. I'm afraid as far as the other way around, I'm too predictable of a person but that doesn't necessarily mean it'll backfire on me, I know she'll love what I give her. Yar. Hooray for supportive omnicient pirate yars! So then, I suppose I should move on to what little details I have of my birthday party so far for those of you that are going.

Well for starters, I have sort of made up an invite list. This is the hardest part of the whole thing, because friends are, for lack of a better example, like the levels in the food chain pyramid we all have seen in Biology class. There's me, then a few people maybe 8 that are definite invites, then the second level of regular friends who is probably about 12, then there are fringe-friends that I don't know too well, have never been to their parties, but would like them to come to mine, to make things less awkward plus they're just cool people I want to get to know more anyways. People like, specifically, Corey, Matt, Jen, Dave/James, and a few people from other places like that. Then of course there are the illustrious Friends-I-Had-Before-But-Don't-Keep-Up-With list which if it was invited, would make the number of people grow exponentially and might make things stupid. No offense is meant AT ALL, but people like Crystal come to mind, we just aren't as close as we used to be.... So let's see here, it's easy for me to resolve all of this mental quandering out loud here in the blog. Ryan T, Ryan H, Nate, Phil, Nathan, April, Christina (won't be here), Megan, Jen, Matt, Jill, Corey, Dave/James, and Katie P (won't be here). Well damn, that's only 12 since Christina and Katie won't be around. I could invite Clark or Brian from scouts, but they'd probably feel alienated since they wouldn't know anybody there. So there you have it folks, that's the invite list right off the top of my head. I was actually planning for about 15-20 people, so if I didn't put your name there because I didn't know if you really wanted to come or we haven't talked much in a long time and still want to go, people like Crystal, Just AIM me or call me. So there we have it, If I forgot your name by some weird chance call me and bitch my heart out and I'll make it up with public humiliation for your entertainment at some time. I think I'll end this blog update about now, whatever else washes into my brain I'll post in a separate entry tonight. See you next time, Space Cowboy...
