Celebration

Celebration Current mood: sleepy
of death and life. The anniversary of my fathers death.It was along time ago, and, well, not really a whole lot to do with me.I have this ideal idea (he he) of what he was, which changes year after year.Although I seem to be getting more understanding as time goes by.It's wonderful how a person can be exactly what you want them to be, as long as you have no interaction with them. Or the interaction is very distantly past.I still wish I could've had more time with the guy I got my sense of humour, my hair, and my eyes from.Bah.On a lighter note, I did get accepted to my masters program.Now I get to be really busy, and hang out in lakes . and coffee shops reading papers.and libraries, drinking coffee. and in boats drinking coffee and thinking about papers.And occasionally the bar, drinking coffee with irish whiskey, dorking out about lakes, and procrastinating about papers.Yay.I am a libra, apparently it's all about balance.

30

30 Current mood: good
So on this beautiful crazy fall day, I am celebrating my 30th birthday. I am having a pretty awesome day, but wanted to share an anecdote.
This dude at a truck outfitting shop, on hearing it was my birthday, asked me how I felt about turning 30. I said I was pretty happy about it, I made it this far. He went on to reminisce on his own 30th, and how hard it was for him to turn 30. I have to say I was a little taken aback. If anything I feel like this is the prime. Things make a little more sense than they used to, and I am pretty stoked on everything I have done and experienced and have so many more things to look forward to. I kind of feel like a ripening fruit.
(I guess eventually I will be a really nice wine :) )
