My Birthday


So I really should have posted this on Wednesday night, but I was a little drunk and to be honest it didn't really cross my mind. It turned out to be quite a surreal day in the end really, nothing like any of my birthdays have ever been.. and by that I mean plain. In the past I've had parties, gone out places with friends, spent the day at the Reading Festival in England (It's a rock music festival for those of you who dont know) but this year, for the first time in my life, I spent half of my birthday at school!! Of all the places I could have been, I had to be at school. There wasn't a huge amount of celebration in the end, and the honest truth is I didn't want a lot of fuss this year, I wasn't all that interested.
I went out to dinner with the parents in the evening to an Australian restaurant called the Outback Steakhouse, always good food and a decent price, especially the Victoria "Crowned" Filet, the most tender steak I've ever had with a blue cheese topping, yum.
Came home and had a few drinks, hence the drunken Adam who didn't want to write his blog, and went to bed wishing I didn't have school the next day, but oh well.
All in all it was a good birthday, not the best on record but certainly not the worst. And thankfully, I have plenty more to come so they can always get better =).

Last Night

I went to sleep with a huge smile on my face for the first time in ages. "She" (she knows who she is) always has that effect on me, I don't really know why, all we do is talk but it always makes me so happy. Thank you sweets I needed it =).
It's been a hard two weeks, my Grandad has to have a kidney out some time in the next month or so which has been getting me down a bit. My Mum scared the crap out of me when she told me about it though, she made the mistake and told me that he was having a lung removed and when I asked if they were replacing it she said no. I got so angry that they expected a man that can hardly breathe with two lungs to breathe with one! When she realised what she had said and corrected herself I was relieved all I could do was laugh, I lay on the floor, out of breath and laughed for so long. To think I had been ready to fly to England and beat the crap out of the doctor. So luckily it's not as major as I thought it was going to be but I'm still a bit worried about it, he hasn't had the best experiences in hospital. The worst one was when he had to go into the ICU for something (I forget what) and ended up getting another disease/virus/something that caused him to be paralyzed for ages, luckily it was one of those things that cures itself given time but he had so much trouble with not being able to talk and had to relearn how to walk. It was a really rare thing, only like 1 in 100000 people get it or something and the damn hospital had 4 of them!
Anyway, in the end, madame has cheered me up and I'm grateful.

Lazy Day

Aaah, such a nice peaceful day. I have the house to myself today and tomorrow since my Dad is in Germany on business and Dora is helping a friend move to North Carolina. It's a shame it's raining really I would have liked to relax out by the pool but never mind, the quiet is good wherever you go to get it.
It's almost the end of my week off of college and I'm looking forward to going back, it gives me something to do and it can sometimes be quite interesting. Not always unfortunately.
I still really need a job but with the economy being as terrible as it is right now, somehow I don't think that I'm going to find one for a while, hopefully with the election of a new president things will pick up a little bit, then again the whole world seems to be having troubles right now.
We'll see, maybe it will get better, maybe not. The only thing that is for certain is that something has got to happen soon or the whole country is going to be shot to pieces and then we'll all be f*c*ed and a brand new civil war will follow. We can but wait to see.
