A Happy Birthday edition

OK so it's not quite my birthday yet, by my clock I have 18 minutes until the midnight hour. I think the last time I wrote a blog, it was a little less than 3 months ago or a little more than 2 months, depending on whether you're an optimist or a pessimist (I don't think that makes sense) but anyway......

I finally found out the answer to my question about my future at the company I currently work. I'll be without a job in the beginning of July, but I'll be financially secure for a few months after that so I should be fine. I'd give a lot more details on the matter but I don't want to go into a lot of details on here, so drop me an email and I will tell you in a more private setting.

I'm actually looking forward to looking for a new job. I feel as though I have a clean slate to start from, and I can go in any direction that I wish. The only problem is I have to figure out where and what I want to do. It's a very exciting decision to be made, but I'm also very nervous and anxious about it at the same time. If anyone wants to advise me on how to make such a decision, I'd appreciate it.

I took the whole week off for my birthday. I don't have much planned, but I think those are the best vacations. One thing I plan to do is take a day trip down to Boston later this week to scout out something and just take in the sites. I'm going to do it no matter how bad the weather is, because I don't wuss out like that.

I actually want to take a look at where some comedy clubs are so I can finally scratch this stand up comedy itch I have had for a very long time. I figure since I will have some free time, I might as well see if I am any good at it. Everyone seems to think I can do it, which is encouraging, so we will see how it goes.

One show I've become a huge fan of in the past month or so is the HBO series "In Treatment". It's currently in it's second season right now. I find it very fascinating how it's just half hour shows with just two actors having a dialogue with one another. If you have HBO, I highly encourage that you watch it.

HOLY CRAP IT'S MIDNIGHT!!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! IT'S MY BIRTHDAY IT'S MY BIRTHDAY! YAHOOOOO.......Um ok got that out of my system. So 33 years old now, damn! I did a quiz to see what my magic number is, and it's 6, which is 3+3 for those of you mathematically challenged, so maybe this will be a great year for me. No wait, IT WILL BE!!!!!

I believe I mentioned this in my previous post, but I did buy Pearl Jam's "Ten" reissue. I got the version that contained two cd's a remastered and remixed version of the album and a dvd of the 1992 unplugged. I think it's pretty good and I look forward to see what Pearl Jam comes out with to commemorate their 20th anniversary.

One of my favorite seasons of the year has started, SUMMER MOVIE SEASON. I plan to see "Wolverine" sometime this week and maybe see "Star Trek" this weekend. I love movies and I love watching movies in the theatre during the summer, so it should be a fun couple of months, and something to comfort me when I'll be jobless.

OK, that's about it. Maybe now that I will have more free time, I'll write more of these. We'll see how it goes. I hope everyone has a safe and fun Cinco de K-Mac!!!!
