Birthday Party

Yesterday was my birthday. My uncle Frank organized this huge, crazy party for me at his house. He even paid Huey Lewis & the News nine thousand dollars to not play at it. The party was pretty slammin’. It was mostly made up of me, my uncle and my step mom Sandy. Uncle Frank and Sandy grinded really rough to the 50 Cent album and I sat and watched and sorta felt like I was going to cry. After the cd ended they told me they were going to go to the store to get me a present, but they just went in the house and watched tv.

The party got even more awesome when my best friend Timmy showed up. I saw him and yelled, “Raise the roof!” I think he thought it was really funny. He said he had a huge gift for me, but then just walked into the house and watched tv with my uncle and step mom. I danced alone in the front yard to the 50 Cent cd for awhile until Tim came outside and just being the living piss out of me. Then he wished me a happy birthday and gave me a nice, warm hug. I went inside to tell my uncle and step mom the good news, but they were smoking really old crack and listening to Huey Lewis & the News and that upset me. I told my uncle he was full of shit and before I could even take a hit from the crack pipe, I realized my uncle was Huey Lewis. I never saw him again. LOL!

Japanese Winter Myth

Winter is approaching here in New York. I feel hyper-emotional during the transition from warm weather to cold.



There is actually an old Japanese myth based around this. They believe that in the cold weather your blood actually separates into different emotions, each taking a color; red for fear, blue for morality, yellow for love, black for sadness and green for happiness. If you were to prick your finger in the winter months you would hope for drops of yellow, green and blue to trickle out. Now the winter months for some reason are also when most Japanese women will search for mates. Knowing this, the Japanese men are typically on their very best behavior during this time, hoping that their blood will be the colors which will make them a desirable partner. Therefore, if you are planning a trip to Japan, it would be best to go during their winter.
