Saturday night I was at my uncles house, they surprised me with a strawberry cake. It was cool there were candles, three of them anymore and the fire marshal would have been called, and people singing happy birthday. I had a few beers and tried to relax in the spa as my cousin spouted on about the end of the world in 2012. Not my belief, but hey who am I to deny him is above just saying to him people have been saying it is the end of the world since the world began.

Disney is doing this promotion right now. You sign up online, and they let you into the park on your birthday for free. Sad thing is, for those people who have an annual pass, the offer is kinda moot. So they offer annual passholders three alternate options. 1) a gift card good for the amount of admission. 2) a birthday fastpass card ( one for you and up to five additional cards for members of your party) and 3) a voucher good for 1 admission ticket at a later date. Anyhow, I went out to disney chose option 1 and went in to California Adventure for this bomb ass chicken salad they have there. Turns out one of my cousins on my dads side was at the park visiting with his family.

Met up with him, then the other sister, went over to disneyland. Di dthe riding rides eating... etc. Had a dole whip and saw the enchanted tiki room staring Maynard (look him up) that was very enjoyable. Outside, my cousins two little blonde daughters decided it was time to sing happy birthday to me. Complete with the missing stanza

"...May Jesus bless you. May Jesus bless you ... love you and keep you, May jesus bless you."

I don't even know where to start with this... other then there is a sunday school teacher running around out there somewhere that needs a right good throttling in my opinion. However being the nice guy I am I let them sing it, several more times though out the night. I had had my fill however, when I was forced ino a large hat shaped like a birthday cake, and was assaulted by a stuffed mickey mouse that was chirping out the birthday song in all of its fading digital glory. These ... little angels thought it would be fun to hit me in the face with said stuffed novelty...

Escape was stalled by fireworks... and everyone just standing watching. It looked cool... what I saw of it; I just wanted to escape. Too bad, we made it to the emporium on main street where more "browsing" took place, and said little girls got magic wands ( yay something else to assult the "birthday boy" with!! ) and of course another rousiong rendition of their "birthday song" all small world like -- never ending -- .

All though this day I kept getting calls from a blocked number, WHich belongs to this guy Im intereseted in getting to know better. He was supposed to call back last night at 11ish never did.

Timing sucks like that I guess.

Thanks to everyone who passed on birthday wishes in various avenues. It was appreciated, even if I didnt hear from everyone *cough* Joe *cough* Dan *cough* Myr *cough*

I think that was about it...
