#33

It took me 33 years, but I finally made it...33 years old!! Had to go to stoopid work on my birfday, last Tuesday the 14th. My lil bro Isaiah flew in that morning. Holly picked him up at the airport. Sold my Sony DSC-H2 DSLR for a cool $250 that afternoon too. It helped pay for one of my birfday presents. That night we met some friends over at Austin's Park 'n Pizza for all you can eat and play special. Started out with some go-kart racing and rock wall climbing, my decrypt old arse made it to the top. It was the kids side, but so what. Isaiah and Holly's bro Mike tried, but Mike's shoulder ain't doing well and Isaiah fell a couple times. Young bucks couldn't hack it. Daryl, Anita, Brian and Jean all showed up too and the fun started.

The go-karts are great. They say "no bumping or we'll pull you out," but they never do. I thought I would be able to take pics of people eating my dust, but it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. There is no power steering on the go-karts, so I had to use both hands to steer. Tried to get some good pics, but only got a few decent ones...the rest were pics of my knee or the road or clouds, pretty useless. Last race of the game Brian was leading the way pretty much the whole time while I battled with Daryl for position. He was taking tight turns to block me out, but it slowed both of us down and we fell away from the pack. So I just decided to wait for Brian who was about to lap us anyways. Let him pass me then on the next turn I side-swiped him and sent him spinning into the guard rail. There is no reverse on go-karts either, so he had to wait for the attendant to get to him and free him up. He came in last! Score!

Played some more video games and ate pizza...right after the pizza we decided it'd be fun to get on a kiddie ride...the tea cups. Stuff your face with pizza and then get on a ride and see who can spin the fastest. Not the brightest idea any of us ever had. Jean was the only sane one in the group. After about 10 seconds of spinning and before the ride started, she got off. The rest of us stayed on. Holly and I were spinning fast and I think we were feeling nauseas before the ride even started. No one lost their cookies, but most everyone wasn't feeling to fantastic. After a spell we played some golf, laser tag and more video games...'twas fun.

So Holly helped me get a Sony A100K DSLR camera for my birfday present and she also got me Mario Strikers Charged for the Wii. I racked up some gift cards to the Alamo Drafthouse, GameStop and Itunes...w00t!! ANNNND....when we got home later that night, Holly had my birfday cake waiting for me!

Ohhh I'm still alive...
