Birthday Post

*That's me as a baby...I was between 1-4 months here I think...I'd have to ask my mom, but shes sleeping.

Before I begin my post about my birthday and stuff...I just wanted to say that its kinda crazy that Jason Mraz has written a birthday post too.

If you didn't know...Jason Mraz and I share the same birthday which is totally awesome. It's one thing we have in common. Ha.

I'm not gonna lie for the longest time I thought I was the only one born on my day because in school everybody's birthday was either in January, March, April, or October. I've always felt kind of a loner with my birthday because it was always during summer break where my friends were on vacations with their families and I would spend my special day with my family. Usually my mom would make my whatever I wanted and we'd invite family friends over and have dinner.

But anyways...on to what I wanted to write about. I checked my horoscope today like I always do (hard to miss when its right there on your homepage...thanks Google!)

It's like your own personal New Year's Day and even if you don't throw a party, it's still a good idea to sit down and write a list of resolutions. Taking this task seriously can be of immense help in the days and weeks ahead, for this exercise focuses your attention on what's most important to you while the New Moon in your sign plants the seeds of your intentions in fertile ground

I've been feeling like this is the year to just do whatever feels right instead of doing whatever others think are right for me. In the end its going to be me being the one who has to live with the decision, not the others. They would just look and shrug their shoulders and walk away if everything fell apart for me. *For this paragraph take a listen to Matt Nathanson's Then I'll Be Smiling.

So in honor of my birthday and horoscope here's what I have listed for myself so far:

1. Don't take shit from people.
2. Make yourself happy first before you can start helping others.
3. Recycle more than you do now.
4. Planning for the future is cool, but don't forget to live in the moment
5. Smile more...your peoples are known for smiling! hell the nickname of Thailand is "Land of Smiles"
6. Friends might come and go, but family will always be there to help you out. Don't forget that.

I'll add more when I can think of some, but for now these 6 are good for me. oh cool 6! a lucky number for me.

Starting now I think each birthday deserves a song. I've been talking about this song as the song that represents me getting older and it's Snow Patrol's Chocolate.

This is an acoustic version they performed because their instruments were lost at the airport. Lyrics can be found here: http://lyricwiki.org/Snow_Patrol:Chocolate

I was going to blog about how I've been feeling emo and the music that's been playing on itunes wasn't helping my mood.

I guess it saw what I was writing about and it started to play happy sounding songs.

I either can control things with my mind or it was a coincidence.

My family is awesome.

I think I know where I get my extreme knowledge of songs and music from.

My mom got a new phone where she can insert a SD card and listen to music from her phone. Well this obviously made her really excited and me being the most technologically advanced person in the family (just behind my brother and younger cousin Jaric) I was lucky enough to be the one to add songs on her SD card.

Well she had this cd that my brother burned my mom and there was no artist name or song title on any of the tracks. I had to listen to the song and Google the lyrics, I guess I was taking to long for my mom (I think I get my impatiences from her) so she called my dad and had him listen to all the songs on the cd.

Can I say that if Name That Tune was still on the air my dad would be the Ken Jennings of that show. I mean my dad KILLED IT. 13 tracks...artist name, song title, and even the year it was released. If I needed the information he would have given me what album the song was on. I doubted my dad's ability that I had to Google the songs to make sure he was right...and he was. That's the last time I'll doubt his extreme knowledge.

Father you are amazing.

Free Euna Lee and Laura Ling

So I don't know whether to blame my mood swings to mother nature or me just being me.

Like right now my mood was fouled up by my mom asking 23981204803924 questions and the news that Euna Lee and Laura Ling were found guilty in a North Korean court and given a sentence of 12 years "to reform" in a work cam. I really want to say some explicated things about that country, but that wouldn't do anything to bring them back and stuff.

Part of me thinks that more would have been done if they were white. Hella racist of me, but I mean If their names were Emily Smith and Laura Jones...I think everyone would have gone out of their ways to get them back.

I don't want to sound ignorant about all this because I do feel like I don't know enough to base a whole conversation about this. Just this whole situation makes me feel sad and I can't do anything about it.

Join this facebook group...they have all the updates on this sad situation.

In this moment right now...

Ah, la, la, la, life is wonderful

Sims 3

See you guys in a few months.

Where is the surprise face emotion?

D:

I need to calm the fuck down and chill out.

Oh My God I'm Getting Old!

Its 1:28 am in the morning I have an appointment at the DMV for 8:40am to renew my driver's license.

I'm sad that it'll now say that I need glasses to drive, but I'm happy because I'll have a new picture on it. The one I have now was taken when I was 15 years old.

It's hard to believe that it was 10 years ago.

I really do feel old now.
