Well, here it is again. October 24 (at least in the US)
My birthday.
And honestly, I can say that so far it's been the most depressing birthday of my entire life. Up until this year, there's always been the possibility of some form of celebration...whether it was with a major party when I was younger, to simple dinner and public humiliation at the hands of my friends, or just my former wife and I having a private "celebration" of our own.
But what do I have to show for it this year? Nothing.
The majority of all my close friends are either working or are no longer living in the same city, and in several cases not even the same state or country. There is my current roommate, however he's been involved with getting started dating again after a disasterous relationship, and I'm not going to interfere with that.
My family? Well, while the family will be getting together later this week to celebrate, they all have other projects to work on today. My sisters and my mother are moving into new places, while my father has to work tonight. So where does that leave me?
At home, alone, wondering what to do with myself once my shift ends at work. With no cash to go anywhere to do anything.
That's what's really irking me. There will be a celebration, but not until later in the week. My birthday is TODAY! Not three or four days from now. It may seem a little childish, but dates have alaways been important to me and celebrating certain events on other days just doesn't sit well with me.
Assuming you celebrate Christmas, would you celebrate it on Dec. 27th?
Halloween on Oct. 18th? New Years on Jan. 8th?
I guess that's the problem. My birthday is today and it's no different than any other day in my life. Get up, go to work, go home, go to bed. Happy Birthday.
*sigh*

Love on the rocks...

Well, regardless of what the info on my H2G2 homepage says, my marriage is now all over but the paperwork. I've moved out of the house and in with my dad tempoarily(sp?) It's all for the best though, we weren't getting along well for about eight months now. She was a devout Mormon, and I wasn't...Oh well.
Maybe i ought to write a Guide entry on Utah Mormons vs. Mormons everywhere else. It'd have to be unapproved, as there'd be a tremendous bias...nothing bad, but just a non-religous person's view of Utah Mormons.
Why does religion have to be such a hot spot for most people? And why is it that if someone has a different idea of what God's like, it is every religious person's sworn duty to bring them around to your way of thinking?
God, it's a mess...
