Im a little late on learning about this but I came upon it and it seemed cool and creepy at the same time. The best part is that it was a public art piece. wiki

Birthday tomorrow tun tun tunnn
Now is the time to reflect on my life and get really depressed, right? Have I done anything great, have I completely defined myself? Am I over Japanese Anime?
Nope. I'm pretty sure I am still a work in progress. And how do you fall out of love with Anime?
Nothing changes over night. It is actually just another day. But we always reflect at least my family does. My mom – always reminds me that she went into labor with me causing her to miss her favorite T.V. show. My grandmother remembers my first words. My other family members are shocked because I have achieved complete adulthood and they didn't even see it coming. And that makes them feel OLD. Joke
My dad. Well then there is him. He didn't get to be here for this birthday or any others after it. Last year didn't really count. He had just passed away in December so my birthday was a blur. (I think I had a party, but I can’t really remember) But I know what he would say to me, he would ask me "how old are you?" then he would reply "Ah your still a kid." Every year he'd say that. And it always made me feel better about getting one year older. Because I’m still a kid.
But tomorrow it is just me, doing the things I have to do, the things I don't want to do and then things I love to do. I have to go to work, I have to and don't want to renew my driver's licenses at the place/no online for me. So, I will spend some of my time tomorrow sitting at DPS trying not to have a disgusted look on my face. And the things I love, seeing my family, hanging out with friends, and going home to my comfy little house. (By the way I love work too except on Mondays, and Tuesdays, Wednesdays are okay but Fridays are the best.)
So, if I could I would invite everyone I know tomorrow to the party at my grandmas we are having cake and menudo. I don't know who picked that combination but it works for me.
I share my birthday with my mom's youngest sister, my aunt who is actually only four years older than me. She is more sentimental when it comes to our birthday because she just is. So we planned something with her in mind. The best part of the day for me, is the morning phone calls from family members and especially from her, because she says happy birthday to me and I say happy birthday to her and then the day starts.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAULA AND LIZ
you're a couple of old bitches
I'm the dork on the right

I'm not doing such a good job on updating this blog. It seems after IKE my work life has been a series of catching up. Who knew losing almost 2 weeks of electricity and another 3 weeks of network problems would put us so far behind.
So, the microblogging is where I am at right now. It is so much easier to do, plus I LOVE it. Follow me on twitter.com http://twitter.com/lizard6
I look forward to catching up with work, with fun, with family and friends in the new year.
HAPPY NEW YEAR.

IKE
I haven't had too much time to get my pictures and stuff up of Ike, since work is priority number 1. I will be consumed until I get us caught up. My main connection is twitter.
I was able to get on to twitter via my cell phone during the great power outage of 2008. And twitter was a source of information when I couldn't get info anywhere else.
But I did record for the first time some video, this is just playing around type stuff but it was part of my experience.
The best part is my 5 year old cousin talking about her mom.

Kinda Bummed
The last two weeks of my life were consumed with IKE and the interuption to power in my city. The whole City 2.5 million people. I know centerpoint had a big job to deal with but by the second week, we were getting fustrated. I know my anger level was on the edge. I was just waiting for somebody to piss me off. but alas I survived. I am one of the lucky ones. there are so many more people who lost it all. And Galveston is in my thoughts. It isn't the greatest beach but it is ours.
So, with all the chaos in my life I didn't get time to really compute that one of the great actors has past, Paul Newman. I had seen many movies with him but about 2 years ago I decided to watch some old movies one of them being Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. I was shocked. At how handsome Paul Newman was. He was almost perfect. almost.
So was Elizabeth Taylor. There are no actors today that could even compare to them, in their ability to act and to look damn good.
So, I had a new fondness for Paul Newman. I loved Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and of course Cool Hand Luke. So, it was sad news to hear he passed.
