• …turning silver…

  I’m now 25 years 15 days 23 hours and 16 minutes old, and I think it’s time for an update, a la photo vomit that is…

  So to start my birthday off, Fred treated Paul and I to dinner at Le Colonial, then since it was Friday night, we hit up Dragon and pretty much took over the dance floor. Here are some G-rated pics. YoYo has some of the more scandalous ones that I’ll post up once I get the files from her, haha…

  Paul, Fred, and YoYo: yes, they’re G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S!

  So I got pretty wasted that night and we didn’t get home until about 3 or 4am. Needless to say, Paul and I passed out once we got home, but somehow, he was able to get up at 8am Saturday morning. I wasn’t sure what he was up to, but he had apparently planned something for us, and it required me getting up at 8am as well. He was finally able to get me out of bed and we made our way down to ‘Great America’. Well, at least that’s where he told me we were going. After we passed Santa Clara, he finally told me we were going to Monterey, but he didn’t tell me what we were going to do there. It wasn’t until we turned the corner that I saw the sign ‘MONTEREY SKY DIVING’ that I realized I was in for the surprise of my life…

  
  
  HOLY SHIT WE’RE GONNA SKY DIVE! WHEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
  

  
  
  omg, they’re preparing the chutes!
  

  
  
  look! he’s not even scared!
  

  
  
  aww, he’s so excited!
  

  
  
  WHEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
  

  
  
  aww, it’s my Superman!
  

  
  
  let’s FLY!
  

  So after the skydiving, we headed back to SF. Paul wasn’t feeling well, so I figured we’d just take it easy the rest of the day. Well, I guess I was the only one that had that in mind, haha. Once we got back to SF, I was pleasantly greeted by the best set of friends a guy can have. We met up at Golden Gate Park first (I’ll post up pics for that later), then we headed over to the apartment where we had a rousing night of karaoke revolution…

  we’d like to take this moment to thank our proud sponsors: Kit Kat Green Tea, and now back to our regularly scheduled program…

  and the sing off is on!

  
  
  sooooooo confused!
  

  
  
  the crowd doesn’t know what to expect!
  

  
  
  the perfect combo!
  
  
  
  
  Brian: “I swear I’ve only had one drink”
  

  
  
  yay Joe!
  

  
  
  it’s EEEEEEVE!
  

  
  
  aww, love!
  

  
  
  aww, more love!
  

  So that was my birthday, and yes, it was absolutely fantastic. Thank you to everyone who came, who called, sent me a card, a text message, and/or emailed me. I’m incredibly grateful to have you all in my life and your friendships are honestly the best gifts I could ever receive. From the bottom of my little heart, much love and thank you all!
