For the birthday boys!

Eskor's birthday lunch this afternoon was one of the best meals I've had in some time. I really miss just hanging out at a quiet restaurant and talking with a couple of good friends. I spent the entire 4-day week in a brain-dead, dazed state, struggling to muster enough energy to get through the day. But now, finally, it feels like I'm getting a piece of my life back. 

HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY ESKOR! 

I haven't blogged in quite awhile, so here are all the happy birthdays that have accumulated over the past weeks. 

For yesterday, 

HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY ERNEST! 

And for April 25th and 11th,

HAPPY 18TH BITRHDAY IAN AND JOSE!

On a lighter note, here's something Sid and I came up with in creative writing.

Live Without Dead Time

Sometimes we're so distracted by our ambitions, we blind ourselves to the moments we're living in now. Don't accumulate the dead time, live without it. 

gargh.

why can't I relax? Even with two weeks off, I can't do anything fulfilling without the thought of my workload looming over me. I mean, is this all there is to my life?!
