My grandfather drank mate. Which is weird, since he was Arabic and hated Argentineans even more than Chileans.

I read it on wiki...
So, it's basically a Yerba Buena tea drunk from a dried gaurd?

Your national drink is mint tea?

My mother drinks mate, which is not weird at all, because she was raised in the province that is the #1 producer of yerba mate, and has a college degree. If there is one thing that is perfect in the world are her mates.

No, it's an infusion made with yerba mate, and it is drank differently from tea, the water is poured onto the herbs, and not vice versa. If many people are drinking, they use the same gourd.
Mint can be added if you want to.

I just got a package in the mail from Harrington Gay Men's Literary Quarterly, containing three complimentary copies of the issue in which my article appeared.

Ladies and gentleman, I am now officially published.

And my birthday is coming up.

So why don't I feel any different?

You rock!!! Enjoy this, you made it. Go drink and dress up funny on the boyfriends dime. Just celibrate.

And my birthday is coming up.

Cake, gifts and frevolity. More good.

Because life is good in general? Still you should mark milestones. I know technically milestones are markers.

Congratulations kind lady!

And again!

I feel the same every birthday, yet people ALWAYS ask, "How does it feel to be [age]"

It's a large grocery store chain... I assumed it was a nationwide chain, but I guess it's more of a regional thing.

But the joke is that most southerner's flock to the local grocery store to grab so called "essential items" (bread, milk and eggs) at the slightest HINT of inclement weather that might keep them home longer than need be.

omgod my ear is swollen to the size of my fist. it's infected and the whole time i was treating it real well, im talknig using disinfectant in the morning, afternoon and night. i knew there was something wrong with that stupid beeyatch who pierced my ear. and i also lost my wallet with my license and $100, and i missed my third friends birthday courtesy of my mom not being able to drive me, so besides that one rare occassion i havent seen them in almost a year and i also feel like shit and last night i felt like getting a gun and blowing my head off. i dont think anyones got it worst than me right now. sorry had to vent these feelings of frustration hopefully ill be less sociopathic in a few days time.

I'm right there with you man. 40 might be the new 20 but 26 is the new 35. You feel the age creeping in on you and are just starting to not see your post highschool self in the mirror anymore.

It's clich'e but after 21 there really isn't much fun to be had with birthdays.

This friend voucher thing is making me really sad.

Do any of you own a Wii and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.

If so PM me and I'll let you see my bobblehead.

It's... a change.
I mean, for some reason... I feel that I'm stuck at 15 or 16. I don't act like it, but I just feel like it. And I forget that, only to be smacked in the face by this cruel fact when people adress me as "sir."

Or even... "Don" or "senior."
I can't be the first because I don't have any kids... and the second one makes me feel like a grandpa.

And what with the receeding hair line...
blah.

It's like... guys go through a smaller "midlife crisis" after 25.

As far as the whole age thing goes, most of you probably know I'm dating an older man...we're going to a Halloween party with a bunch of his friends, and thinking about costumes. The theme for the party is "Fairy Tales and Classic Monsters." I suggested to preempt the jokes about the age gap, and show that we have a sense of humor about it, we do Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf.

I like this one:

It's the same here. I think it's that we've only at this age figured out how to be cool teenagers. We still listen to loud shit. We still find it appropriate to wear t-shirts we declare cool. We wonder if the beards we grew to look more adult worked too well.

Really takes the thrill out of being carded for booze, dosen't it?

My hair's been at this point since I was a teenager. Slightly diffrent issue

I think the term is quarter life crisis. Zack Braff explored the concept pretty well in that movie I'm feeling even older for not remembering the name of. I got up and looked, Garden State.

It's a nice costume, but I don't know... the whole "sexy red riding hood" thing seems a bit cliched to me.

If I knew someone willing to do it, I'd go for a modern take on Frankenstein's monster. Have the guy's costume be a cross between Rob Zombie's stage wear and a mad scientist's outfit (maybe just Rob Zombie's stage outfit complemented by a white lab coat and welding goggles) and have "the monster" (preferably female) dressed up in something like a ripped and torn Smells Like Teen Spirit cheerleader outfit, complemented by zombie make up.

Top it all off by having the DJ spin "Living Dead Girl" as you walk in the door, and I'm sure it would be a hit.

You've put way more thought into this than you needed to...

man, it's like when we first got engaged, all of a sudden the wedding was figured out.

"we're going to have this....and this...and that...and our song will be...and the seating will be..." while all the while I'm thinking "fuck, I need to get her a ring!!"

Doesn't the ring purchase traditionally come before the engagement?

Normans? Medevil french chicks who still didn't know how to bathe properly?

Ewwww....

Fuck what a day.

8 hours of work, then off to the Mall for a date.

Saw a chick flick movie( Nanny Diaries, I think Shoot them Up was out of the question), coffee, book lounging in Borders, and a search for Jazz records in Newbury.

I think I found my niche in the dating scene; the intellectual.

I scored tickets to see the Body World exhibit at the Tech Meseum here in San Jose...
Ever since I had seen it on Ripley's Believe it or Not on TV... I had been fascinated by the exhibition.

A few years ago, I went to see the mummies of Guanojato. It was an experience.
Perhaps this will even superseed that experience....

Wedding ring dude, you know about those. You have, at the moment, one.

As for halloween, even though I do think I'm in good enough shape to at least pass for a Batman costume the fuckers are hard to find. The Punisher is an easy costume because all you do is throw a leather jacket over a punisher shirt. I've been that the last two years. It's a good costume but The Punisher deserves better than to be done just for lack of preperation, maybe paradise x Punisher.......

And Seven, beautiful sky

Hurray! It's my birfday.
