Welp, the birthday weekend is over. Let me attempt to get caught up and recap.

Friday, March 6th -
Started with the Watchmen movie. Good times with good people. Caught up with an old friend. Went home and slept until I had to be up and get to work. Normal day at work. Actually, I lied. We were allowed to "dress-down" for upcoming March Madness in our favorite team's jersey or clothing and everyone could bring in food. Since I couldn't find/didn't have any Syracuse Orangemen or Gonzaga clothing I wore a Justice League T-Shirt. I figured I could argue that they were a favorite team of mine. Besides that, the day was rather typical. after work I went home and met up with the family and others for cake and the ritualistic singing of Happy Birthday. Eventually a few of us went out on the town. We hung out at a bar downtown for a while. Had a shot, which is usually my limit as I only drink for special occasions and it will only be a shot - never beer, and threw some darts. I am proud to say that my first dart of my 27th year was a bullseye and my first game was a win. Once everything closed we all headed to a local diner and I enjoyed a burger with my favorite fixings - way too much cheese and bacon. Delicious. Once this was done, that concluded the night and it was home to sleep.

Saturday, March 7th -
I slept in until around 2:30pm. Alex and I got up shortly after that, i showered, and we headed out to Circuit City on the other side of town with Bret. Circuit City was closing and we wanted to see if there was anything worth buying... there wasn't. It was completely empty. I was somewhat saddened. I love electronics, games, videos, movies, music, etc. After we left there we went to the mall out there and just wondered. We bought some Yogenfruz, a Pinkberry/Red Mango rip-off that has made its way to this part of town. I didn't buy anything although I saw so much that i wanted to buy. I am attempting to learn a little bit of self-control for this year. I have the ability to just spend on things that I do not need. For a male, I like clothes more than most. Hoodies especially. More on that another time. We left the mall, it was raining, that made me happy. Why? because it wasn't snow. After that it was a pretty bland Saturday. I ended up going home, watching tv, and hanging out with the family. I was supposed to attend a game night that an old coworker was hosting but accidentally dozed off around 9pm. I woke up around 11:30 and had the urge to go out so I called Bret, found where he was, and joined in. I didn't make i there until almost 1am but it was still nice to get out. I met some of his friends and saw an old friend Deek who I hadn't seen since college. He seems to be doing well and it was good to talk to him and catch up. Usually, and I mean this in the nicest way, Deek would usually be too drunk to know that he saw me out and talked on most nights. Cheers to that. After a few more games of darts Bret and i parted ways. I went on the hunt for pizza but everyone was closed. I hadn't figured that most places took in to account the fact that we had to set our clocks forward. Boo them. I went home, ate some Fritos, and passed out around 5am.

Sunday, March 8th -
I woke up a bit earlier today. I think it was around 12:30. Bret and I had plans to go house hunting. Yes, we both still live at home. He desperately wants out. I don't mind being at home but would love my own house. The only thing holding me back is money. I don't believe in wasting money renting so I am looking for a somewhat affordable house in an area around where I live now in order to keep my commute to work short. After 2 hours and a few minutes of looking at a handful of houses that we knew either of us wanted to buy, we headed out to Circuit City again for the last day of business. It had a rack of 50 cent items and that was all. Again, to the mall we went, accompanied by Alex who had just drove out to the area to meet us, and shopping we did. Bret was the only one to buy anything, a couple of pairs of boxers, but we always enjoy hanging out and talking even if we accomplish nothing. After we became bored with shopping I decided that food was a good idea. I also decided that in this 27th year of mine that I wanted to try new places and new food. After some deliberating, we ended up at a newly opened "Five Guys". Since it was my first time I went with a classic - Bacon Cheeseburger. See a trend yet? Decent food. Good fries. Once the plates were cleaned we all headed out. Bret went home. Alex and i went to my house. She conned me into watching the Sex in the City movie and, as a good boyfriend, I obliged. If it wasn't for the raging headache I am sure I would have stayed awake for the entire movie and I would tell you more about it. All I remember is receiving a massage from my lovely lady and laying around being retards in bed. That means exactly what it says and nothing else, also. We are odd. I am sure stories will come in time.

Eventually Alex had to leave and a few hours later, after some ESPN and other random television, I am here, saying farewell.

I need sleep. Work soon. More tomorrow.
