wow.. last night was a freakin’ blast. somehow, paige is managing to make this years birthday even funner than last years.. how is she so great? well: last night.. paige, honain, rob, and I toughed a traffic-laden voyage to fort worth to stand in the 97 degree heat for 20 minutes in line so we could see catch 22, reel big fish, and naturally.. rxbandits. i have to say, rxbandits never ceases to amaze me the way they bring a positive vibe to a concert… they rock so much. my voice is all hoarse and cracking today, but i’d do it all over again if i had the chance.. it was a killer time (as a side note — have you ever seen a paki skank? i have.)

so.. it’s my birthday today. twenty two and still kickin’ it. the past year my body has been feeling very old with my knees and back acting up all the time.. but ever since i’ve been working out regularly, I’ve found that I have a renewed vigor. never underestimate the effectiveness of a regular workout schedule =P.

so.. i wanted a chance to show off all my new birthday presents, so here’s a list and link to each present paige got me this year (she went way overboard):

• Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra 30GB
• A James Avery cross + leather chain
• The Simpsons: Season 4
• The Butterfly Effect

have I mentioned lately that paige rocks? well she does. it’s been a very happy birthday for me =)
