Happy Birthday

I turn twenty one today. Happy Birthday to me! I'm happy today, even though it is boring, but my spirit is high and i enjoyed my car ride from laffy to New Orleans today. Singing ole time favorites and thinking about So Dang, the convent girls, also about Moo Cow Dao, it's not her nickname anymore but i love her for that. it's her birthday also. my little sisters are baking me a cake, because if we buy one, there's no bakery worth buying a cake from. It won't taste as good as Homemade. it's the best. i bought myself an oyster poboy today and it was Good! i haven't eaten one in like months. we're planning our big Clean Up day for Tet. We just got home a couple of hours ago, and it is DirtAy! But in one night me made it look clean, but we're doing major detail clean up tomorrow. and we're making a list to go down. I'm Pumped. We got a tree to decorate with flowers for tet too! It's like a tradition, we have fake flowers to attach to a tree, and every year we go around scoping out dead trees, to use as our Tet tree. It's Tradition now! kinda like Christmas... family stuff that makes us get together and actually do stuff. LOL. I asked my parents what today is, and they couldn't figure it out. they keep thinking it's Friday, Friday before Tet. LOL. but when i told them it was my 21st birthday they were like surprised. reality hit them, I'm Old. anyways, i thought my birthday was going to suck, but it didn't turn out bad at all. just a simple happy day, that's all i wanted, to be happy. And the reason, it's my birthday. I don't need an extravagant birthday party or getting drunk on my twenty first birthday to make me happy. It's the simple things that i love best. if i was to die today, i would be happy. Thank god for birthdays, he gave me a reason to be happy a day more.
