Well I am now the oldest man ever!! My birthday was on Saturday and I feel so weird about it. I'm not sure quite how to explain it but I know that I feel like such an old man. Twenty-Two is not that old and I think its quite a reasonable age but I just feel like its all down hill from here. When I was young I looked forward to turning 18, you know being a legal adult and what not. I turned 18 and all I could think about is how cool it would be to turn 21 and be able to get into bars and drink even though thats really not my cup of tea. Now I'm 22 years old and now it feels like every other year is just, well another year. I had a pretty good birthday, a bit unusual but it was good. I spent most of my birthday loading up Crystals car and driving 6 and a half hours to El Paso but I was happy to spend it with my love. My parents were a little sad because they wanted to spend part of the day with me but we got into town kinda late and they were going to go to bed. I did feel a little bad about that but it all changed when Crystal and I had dinner at OutBack and I had a monster of a steak!! It was a nice 12 oz. Medium Rare piece of Kangaroo!! Crystal Rocks cuz then we just had a good ol time at her place. My parents gave me my birthday present early because it turns out what they were giving me I really really needed. I broke my glasses a week ago and I was completely useless without them. I still drove (thank God I didn't take any lives or kill myself) but I was completely miserable for like 3 days. My Pops finally felt really bad and gave me my present early, new glasses. Nice little Gold Framed Emporio Armani frames. I was very pleased even though they were gold and I know how Crystal hates gold jewelry and such and I know she's the one who has to stare at me all the time so I was worried, but she liked them. I had to go to Eyemart Express to get the lenses for my glasses which my dad paid for, those were another 100 dollars. THANKS DAD. It was kinda funny that some of the most random people remembered my birthday though. Some old friends from high school, a girl much older than me that has been obsessed with me since I was in high school and a silverback gorrila I met when I was a missionary in the Congo. Uncles, aunts, and cousins forgot who I even was. Like I said when you start getting older nobody really cares much about you. That's why I'm glad that I have a beautiful Fiance that loves me and cares about me, that makes me feel very loved. I'm not a worthless Lion.
Last night I hung out with Crystal again, she came to church with me then I realized how poor I was so we ate lunch at her place. Sorry baby, but at least I got paid today. I was mad cuz they jipped me on my check and I raised all hell so that I could get that corrected ASAP. I hate it when I work a certain amount of hours then they rob me of my finances, as if I had money to lose. It sucks cuz I already make crap at this joint. Anyhow after work I came went over to C-horses again and I watched some weird stuff on TV like some weird special on Ana Nicole that involved a very very long photo shoot with her and a french maid. Crystal and I were craving some Rocky Road after watching a show on TV that showed the world how they made it. That was great except for the fact that I'm poor and I had to crawl the floor for change. I was more annoyed when I was waiting to order our ice cream and some stupid ghetto girls were flirting with the ugly ice cream guy in hopes of recieving a free scoop or two! Finally the guy realized that he was being taken for a fool and he reached under the counter for an ice cream scoop and flun it at the girls' head. She ran out of the store holding her forehead as blood shot out from between her fingers. The girl still had her ice cream in her hand. I did enjoy my ice cream with Crystal though, though she was horrified i'm sure she enjoyed her ice cream too. Crystals parents arrived at about 10:45 so I helped Enrique unload all of Boobahs stuff and then I left exhausted to my home ready to crash completely naked on my bed. that was it so far.
Today was just dumb I got screwed over on my check and I had to spend some more money paying my tuition. I shouldn't complain because at least financial aid covered 150 dollars of it and Crystal had to pay like 380 bucks! Poor sweety, dont worry honey I got some money for you. I have to go now cuz there's a patient running around with a roasted turkey leg shouting and spitting on random people
