epic survival
Friday - Jerry Seinfeld Live at The Fox Theater in Detroit
Saturday - Parul & Solomon's Birthday Celebration (Dominick's and a house party)
Sunday - Birthday lunch at Tower Inn, Birthday dinner at The Chop House (best swordfish. period.), dessert a La Dolce Vita...
although it may have been questionable at several points over this past weekend, i actually did survive what has been quite the epic adventure (yes, even saturday night's party for those of you who were there...but that's a story for another time...especially since i'm still sort of recovering).
i'll talk about some of this stuff in an upcoming entry, but for now i need to get to sleep; this week's schedule is already filling up fast, AND i have a ton of work to get done (and no longer have the birthday excuse to postpone it).
i would like to say thanks to EVERYONE who was able to get together this weekend and celebrate with me; as most of you know, i'm a big fan of birthdays not just because of some pseudo-narcissistic mentality, but primarily because it's a good excuse to get the people i enjoy spending time with (friends, family, fishes, etc) together all at once.
so again, thanks to everyone who came up for seinfeld, put up with my insanity in driving & wandering detroit in the rain, came out to dinner, came to dominick's, bussed our table at dominick's, took pictures, came to the party, helped us win a lot of flip-cup, partook of the last vanilla coke in existence, wrote on my shirt, told me to use my inside voice, took more pictures, gave me a banana at the party, gave me sweet fish & spider-man stickers, finished off the keg, forced/held me up for the keg stand, realized i stopped making sense and needed help, called, called from out of state, called hoping to catch me in an incapacitated state, left me clever facebook wall messages, and generally made this the best birthday celebration i can remember -- of course, i'm still a little foggy on what all i can remember after last night... <:><

there are plenty more pics from the weekend to come, but here are a couple group shots as preview to the craziness -
the david sibs...when all three are together, you can be sure things will get crazy. was especially glad rachel could make the trip up from mansburg (the place where dreams remain dreams) for the weekend events.
group shot at dominick's, which has traditionally been my venue of choice (L-R) dave, andrea, brenda, julia, erin, kara, me, parul, janine
another group shot from dom's (F-B) christy, james, daniel, sidney, damon, andy, carrie, rakhi, me, detrow, rachel, janine, beth
the obligatory panchero's intermission...
the birthday kids, me & parul
yes, the party was absolute insanity...also pictured here is the last vanilla coke in the universe; i'd been saving it :)
dinner (on the actual bday) at The Chop House...lobster bisque, (THE best) blackened swordfish, tiramisu, and some close friends...definitely good times.

(Let me know if you think that that's a lame name, if so, I'll stick to std2 (squared -- not two).
As we both know, it's rare for me to read bogs anymore, whether they be yours, std's, or the general public's, so I hope you truly enjoy this to its fullest.
First off, I would like to point out that we all know that just because you can no longer use your birthday as an excuse, there is no way that you will not formulate a different excuse. It's in your blood. Speaking of blood, thank you for granting me the honorary Indian status. (I think it might be the second time... maybe I should open a casino... haha j/k we know that that's reserved for the REAL Indians or "Native Americans." Haha That was a weak joke.)
Other things I'd like to thank you for include:
**recognizing my flip cup abilities, late is better than never.
**acknowledging my existence
**praising me for joining you
**praising the buss-boy at Dominick’s… not that it involved me in any way, shape or form but they work hard and that's a disgusting job that I hope I never have to occupy.
**satisfying your potassium cravings
**agreeing with me that ppm is a more common unit than ppt (I LOVE BEING RIGHT)
**Agreeing that my facebook message was clever, too. (Whether or not that was directed towards me.)
I hope you're not as sad as I was that I broke that golf ball thing... if you don't know what I'm talking about then you don't use it anyways and never will, and therefore not only to I retract my apology, but also suggest you beg for forgiveness to everyone alive, since those things are neat.
I think this has occupied my time enough. Happy Belated...again and good luck with the end of your semester.
J-NOTaflakeItoldyouso
p.s. I like how Seinfeld was for your birthday and yet you paid for both of your sisters to go. hahaha such a fine young man you are, sir.
