It's interesting these days. So many people have birthdays around this time. It's like everyone likes making babies in the July-August time. Anyways, so what is the big deal with birthdays anyways? I mean the only good thing to be happy about during birthdays is to celebreate another year of life. Other than that, what is there? I believe its's just another day. I mean why are there presents exchanged?

Birthdays are meant to commemorate the day you were born. But it's just another day. It's not big deal. So why do people make such a big deal of it? Is it really something to celebrate? I mean if you think of it, there are far more bigger negative points about birthdays than positive. It's another day closer to final destination. It further reminds you of this fact because your "age" increases by a year. Sometimes individuals feel forces to buy gifts. So why the big hoopla?

I never quite understood why birthdays are such a big deal. I mean sure i can understand people having fun on them. And having fun is good. But why make this such a special day. I mean everyday should be a big hoopla then. Why wait a year, why not everyday? I mean why do we count our age in terms of years, why not months? I am 258 months old. Sure 258 sounds big, because we're all used to thinking in years. Birthdays are just overrated. Sure I won't decline a birthday wish, but my opinion still is birthdays are no big deal.

So yesterday was free ice cream at Baskin Robbins. I had been looking forward to it for weeks. And so I go to the gym last night as usual, and around the corner is the Baskin Robbins. So I finish my work out and go there. The people in front of me told me the owner had been out there three times telling they are no longer servnig free ice cream past them. What in the world! It's not past 10 yet. They said by tmie they are served it'll be. Well tell them to work faster then! And then the owner comes out, guides them in. All the while I am complaining about not getting ice cream. I mean some others priob have seconds and I have not even enjoyed my first. I bet if I said I will pay she would let me in. This women is the ice cream nazi. But anyways, I couldn't be bothered to make a big deal, I said my words, and left. I am never going back there to give them business. This is out of spite.

I've been thinking about the softball season. I have been going to the gym regularly for like four months now, and I see some results. And so one would figure I can hit the ball harder now. But then I was thinking, wait a minute, if I am more strong, does that make me less quick? I'm thinking my bat speed may not be as fast as before. I gotta get accustomed to carrying my weight too. hhahaha. Gotta get practicing this summer for softball.

I am finding another problem with my workout these days. Last time it was these imprints left on my shoulders from using the squat machine. I think they are left from my t-shirt. This time, when I use the leg-press machine. Where I sit down, and I use my legs to push on weights, my right foot cramps. It never ceases to fail, I always cramp on my foot when I use this machine. I wonder why? I think there is something wrong with how I am pushing with my feet. Anyone got an ideas?

So here's an interesting thought. Why is burping and farting considered rude? I mean it's a natural effect of the human body? Everyone does it, Why is it considered so bad. it's not the most pleasant sound nor smell, but it's natural. I might see more understanding if not everyone does it. But let's face it, everyone needs to fart. I think everyone should fart or burp away. The more we are accustomed to it, the less we'll make a deal about it. The more it'll be accepted, and soon, no one will care. Just don't burp or fart at people. Do it away from people. Unless someone can explain to me why it's such a rude thing to do.

So I was talking to a co-worker about how so many people have birthdays this month. so he asked me whether I bought gifts for them. I said yes, small, but anyways. So he asks me, what makes a good gift? What do you think? I'm not quite sure, I mean you don't know them very very well, so how do you know they'll like it? I mean a lot of times first thing I look for is something I like. Then I think whether they'll like it. That is the hard thing to do. And deciding is even harder. And there is such a big difference with a guy-given gift and a girl-given gift. there are so many more possibilities when a girl gives a gift. It's an interesting question though, how do you buy gifts for people?

alright, that's it for today. got a lot on my plate next few days. Til next time.
