Ah, September 30th. That cherished day of the year when everyone celebrates my birth… and I try to hide from everyone. I really do hate birthdays. I’m just shy and hate being made a spectacle of, even if it’s in a good way. I turn 35 today. Yes, holy crap… I’m not sure how that happened but here we are.

Tonight at the house we are celebrating in grand style, as we always do. I don’t think I’ve mentioned it before but our house has it’s own website. I know… another website. My friends and I can’t do anything without building a damn website about it. The site was created and named in honor of our Chameleon, Admiral Ackbar (from Star Wars). The site is at www.theadmiralshouse.com. The Admiral essentially runs the show around here. Our lives revolve around his every whim. I was only a Captain in the Army, so I am outranked. He runs a tight ship and if it’s cricket feeding time… watch out.

Anyway, the festivities begin at 8:07pm sharp (that’s 20:07 hours for those Mil geeks). I have no idea why it’s kicking off at 8:07. That’s the time my roommates put on the official invitation, which incidentally can be viewed online here.

Hopefully there will be many scandalous photos to follow in the days ahead. I better take my ginseng. Pray for me.
