I could rant about that for a long, long time. You are like a more conservative version of me. Which I guess is pretty conservative.

Unless, of course, you're pro-State holidays in church services. In which case, you probably suck.

Haha, why am I more conservative than you are? Because I'm a stick-in-the-mud?

The ECUSA named MLK Jr. a saint, and on his feast day one of the churches in town hosts this amazing jazz concert set within the context of clips from the "I Have A Dream" speech. I love it. Of course... that's a tangent.

One of our finer moments, I suspect.

You're more Presbyterian-y. Presbylicious, maybe?

Must have been quite a weekend...

Bryan · 03-26-2007, 11:42 AM

bah, I'm not sure if I can be your friend anymore, listing Shiner Bock and Fat Tire among some of those. And Guiness? what's wrong with you man, you are a picky beer drinker.

Chrysostom · 03-27-2007, 09:53 AM

Well, today is my birthday, so I suppose I ought to offer some reflections.

A year ago I was...
- Working with RUF
- Employed only once over
- Unmarried
- Hanging out with my roommate's awesome dog, Gary
- Expecting to ship out to WTS for Fall 07
- Planning to work the graveyard shift for FedEx
- Expecting never to get to that Hegel and Heidegger that sat on my shelf
- In much more debt than I am now (done this summer!)
- Paying $60/month for groceries (now $200-$300)
- Twenty pounds lighter (relate this to the changing grocery bill)
- Going to sleep past midnight (now 9:30-10 is bedtime)
- Not a member of Netflix
- Unable to write in my books (now I can bring myself to underline)
- Nowhere near opening a retirement account
- Sleeping on a $40 twin bed (now a $4000 queen -- wedding gift)
- Drinking lots of beer, little liquor, and no wine (now liquor, wine, beer)
- 23

**bread man** · 03-27-2007, 10:22 AM

Happy birthday John! I hope you have a great day.

**Tony** · 03-27-2007, 11:00 AM

Happy B-Day.

benj · 03-27-2007, 11:17 AM

Happy birthday, asshat.
