Topical Tuesday : Birthday Memories

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.

PresentOk 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.

I’ve got nothing today

Happy Birthday Cake!But I do have suggestions for you:

1. Topical Tuesday is open with a new topic: Siblings – good or evil? I was going to do something, but I wasn’t quite sure on where I stood with that. I’m sure my sister could come up with plenty of evilness by me. She’s been pretty angelic to me.

2. cybr’s birthday. You should go over there and wish him a happy birthday. He’ll be like 35 or something like that. Yeah I don’t care, he’s younger than me, that’s all I know. So yeah, go ahead and wish him happy birthday.

So that’s all I’ve really got for this Tuesday. Oh I do have a video I’ll share with you, but it’s after the bump. It’s really funny, Danalyn sent it to me, and I laughed my ass off.

Topical Tuesday #2

Holiday LightsThis weeks Topical Tuesday is about holidays. So let’s share some memories of a holiday today.

I’ll be honest with you. I don’t think much about the holidays. And when I say holidays I really mean Christmas time. I’ve never been a big celebrator of it. I used to be, when I was younger, and no cares in the world. I guess getting older changed things. I guess when you grow up, you lose the magic. But I digress.

When I grew up, there was one holiday that especially filled me with cheer. I have to admit, it’ll sound really cheesy, but it’s the first Christmas that I spent with Meesh. We met online, as some of you might know, and unfortunately, we lived miles apart. I lived in St. Louis at the time, and she lived here, in Washington. So we couldn’t really get together very easily. The summer we met, I had flown out to Washington and we spent a great time together.

Well, we apparently had so much fun, that her parents decided to use some miles (my father in law travels a LOT) and bought me a ticket to fly out for Christmas. How cool is that, right? Well anyways, I got to spend the holidays, of which I used to spend alone, with my “new” family. I got to meet the awesome brothers and their families, and I even got plenty of gifts, even though I didn’t really have any gifts to give out! I really felt loved.

Of course, they gave me gifts that hinted that I should move out to Washington (including a bag of Space Needle macaroni!), and I eventually did, as you already know. Aside from last Christmas/New Years, that might be one of the most memorable holidays ever.

In case you’re curious, last Christmas/New Years, me and my sister surprised my parents by not telling my parents that my sister was visiting at the same time that Meesh and I were visiting. It was a very momentous occasion and there was a lot of cheer and love. Family is great, isn’t it?

Topical Tuesday

Normally, I wouldn’t do a meme, but as everyone knows, sometimes I succumb to things. This week, Topical Tuesday is about the Oscars, and well, I just couldn’t resist.

What are some things that are bothering me about the Oscars this year? The fact that Brad Renfro was not mentioned in the memoriam. Not sure what’s up with that, but of course the Oscar mentioned that they only had a limited time, and could not mention everyone. Why was Brad bumped out? It couldn’t have been anyone else right? It couldn’t have anything to do with the fact that he died because of a heroine overdose could it? I hope not, because that would be some kind of discrimination. There are a lot of rumours out on the Internet. Who knows why he was bumped. It’s probably true that there’s no particular reason, and they did it because they really didn’t have any time. Ok, that’s cool.

Then it brings me to another thing. During the montages of all the hosts of the Oscars, did you get to see Whoopi Goldberg? You may have watched the View or seen all the news about it on the Internet. They totally did not include her in the montage, but did they show all of them? I think that it’s really awful they didn’t include Whoopi, I love her to death, but I think she may have overreacted. Although a part of me agrees with her when she said, “Undoubtedly, I pissed somebody off once again.” Although I have no idea why. She’s funny as hell!

What do you think? Opinions? Conspiracy Theories? Bring it!
