So, what's another year, another birthday if not a time to reflect? For years February has been a symbol of things to me. My birthday being the longest running 'symbol', my grandfather's death being second, and as of last year the death of a mentor/friend (I'm not sure what he was to me). Sure, when I was a kid my birthday was exciting to me but as I got older I realized the day my birthday falls on isn't so spectacular when you don't have a significant other. And now? Well, now my birthday just symbolizes another year come and gone. I can't think of much more to say.

Breaking news, literally, for those of you familiar with my previous windshield incident this might prove slightly humorous. Not too long after getting my windshield replaced another rock chipped it, sure, I was pissed after all, it was a new windshield but I got over it. But jus this weekend on my way to picking my brother up from college a huge rock hit it leaving behind a rather large chip and possibly a dent somewhere on the roof of the car it was a two-fer and scared the crap out of me (not literally this time). But the story doesn't end here, days later I discovered a rather large crack running from one side (not at the very edge) to the other (also not to the edge, yet). I assumed this crack was leading from the most recent chip, but oh no, I had to go and make an ass of myself and assume. The crack came from the very first chip. How, I have no clue, I certainly didn't help it on the way to becoming a crack (as I had done with the previous windshield). My luck never ceases to amaze me. It makes for an interesting if not entertaining story, but at the moment, I don't find it humorous as the crack seems to grow by the day if not by the hour. There was my rant, got it out of the way, let the randomness continue! Hope that all made sense, I might have gotten carried away...
