Today is my grandfather's 79th birthday. We went to Joe's Crab Shack for lunch and they made him dress up in this here cowboy hat and carry a stick pony around while saying "yippee-ki-yi-yay, it's my birthday" and prancing around the restaurant while everyone in the restaurant sang happy birthday to him.

I would like to crawl in a hole for a little while, if I could.

I had lunch with a friend today and I realized how difficult it is getting older and maintaining close friendships. I've been friends with this person, well, forever...he's practically a member of my family and I remember when making the decision to move back to Birmingham from Orlando he told me repeatedly that if I moved back we could hang out ( Read more... )

Most of my posts are pointless, but this one is especially pointless because I have nothing to talk about. Nothing exciting is happening, nothing bad is happening.

...ALWAYS comes down. So much for God smiling.

Yesterday turned out to be a really shitty day all around.

And so far, today isn't looking much better.

So, yes this is where my family lives. And no, I'm not completely freaked out. No sir-ee. Not at all ( Read more... )
