hello! yoshi

This weeks Topical Tuesday is birthday memories. You know you’ve got that one birthday that you loved, or perhaps it’s one you totally hated! Well, here we go, you get to talk about it!

I don’t remember too many of my birthdays. Usually it involves me trying to ignore it and keeping it from friends. I try not to make a really big deal out of birthdays, and keep it on the down low, because I want my friends to do the same. Therefore, I really don’t have too many birthdays that I remember. Nothing really stands out.

Ok I lied, one does stick out, and it was the first year I was in the Navy. I was fresh and green, and my birthday came around, and I remember now that I got a card from my mom with some money, and I was so thankful. I went out and got chinese take out with it (that was a treat, believe me) and found out that one of my shipmates was also having a birthday. Neither one of us were drinkers at the time, but we shared some fun and played guitar and just had a great time. And you know, sadly I cannot remember his name. But we share the same birthday. The navy is such a small world. But that might have been one of the best birthdays I’ve ever had which I can remember.
