Well, another birthday has come and gone. I got some wonderful, unexpected gifts from a few of my friends, which was really nice, considering I wasn't expecting anything at all. And they were actual thoughtful gifts that will definitely be used by me, including a guitar stand, Old Navy gift certificates, and a cool 9V Battery cell phone charger (I can now charge my phone while it's in my pocket!) Of course, there was also the disappointments... a bunch of people didn't show up to my "party" I threw, many with good reasons, several with no reasons whatsoever. So that was kind of unfortunate. Of course, those who did come were definitely great company, and their attendance was welcomed and appreciated. Between the "Trio" and a few others, I've got some damn good friends that are always there for me. If I didn't have that, I don't know what I'd have.
It kind of sucks... my dad didn't even get me a card for my birthday. In fact, I don't even recall hearing him say "Happy Birthday" all day. I mean, I did get a gift (useful though unmemorable – he paid for my speeding ticket because he forgot to do so with my bank card the day before my trip and it had to be paid before I got back). But I don't care about gifts and monetary things so much as meaningful things... such as a simple card from one's own father. I guess his girlfriend takes up so much of his time, there's no time left to do measly things such as this. Who knows.
It's about time I find myself some new clients, as I'm almost caught up on most of the current stuff (with the exception of regular updates, etc. that need to be done) and I'm needing some more cash flow/income. I've had a pretty decent 2003 with regards to "earning a living" doing this web design thing, but I sure hope 2004 continues moving forward so I can get out of debt and maybe even move out (or move out of the city completely). We will see. :)
Until next time... oh, and don't forget to buy "Rock for a Reason" if you haven't already. Really important cause, and pretty darn good music to boot!
