Well the day is wrapping up - got some fun eCards, Comments, MySpace Comments, emails, and cards (don’t worry sis, I’ll protect my wand) (I’ll scan it later so everyone understands) lol - but it was a good time, wish the sun had stayed up a little longer, but the night sky, WOWZA! Understand I live in California, birthplace and summer home of smog 
Stars are uncommon but at the lake, crystal clear sky! So Awesome!
Got some of my photography from my flickr account framed from my sister - a awesome gift! Always been a few of my shots I wanted to maybe print and put up in my room, but now I have some! So very cool - got a gift card from Courtney and her son to Target, some cash from Jake, and a awesome card from Matt and Marcie - it was a good night, good fellowship, good food, and some AWESOME cake… which I am still eating, thus the sugar rush 
But all in all, it was a good day, some friend’s didn’t get to make it or had conflicting plans (since I swapped things around plan wise) but in the end, a good group, and a plan to hang out on Saturday, and another plan to get EVERYONE together one day soon so we can all hang out, talk, shoot the breeze etc. Should be fun, and a scheduling nightmare but one I am willing to have!
Anywhoo - I could rant on for hours, but I think I am going to go and grab the frames, and see if I can place the photos somewhere in the room on my walls (which are bare) and who knows, maybe get a few other shots printed and framed and put up around the other walls! A good day, good friends, good times. Keep me in prayer though, business wise a lot this week going into March, and a lot on my calendar already (I love days off, and will miss them) but also keep Rosie in your prayers, lot going on with her in school/fam/etc. she definately appriciated the prayers.
Night all!
Just got a call to wish me a happy birthday Rosie was awake so she gave me a ring to wish me happy 26th! Wonder what the rest of my day will turn out like?
Parents got me a new bike (which will come in handy for outdoor photography - and work) - but its a beauty!

Well only 5 hours till the 28th… and so far everyone has said my crazy last minute plan is good and they can make except Dan… but Dan’s a busy man, work, fam, etc. - heck its during the week, so I am just happy folks are coming at all If you want to come, call my cell, seating is limited to the number of people the JBX Grill can hold (dunno how many that is, but we’ll make it work)
Again, if you guys want to get me that iMac I blogged on a while back, or even just the base model, that’ll be fine Saw this on TUAW and had to share… so I leave you with this.
Let’s hope not! Currently 3 weather organizations are reporting rain for my birthday which would rule out the whole “At the Lake” idea - I need to firm up the plans though - BBQ at the lake sounded good though! Was looking forward to some good burgers, dogs, and assorted extras …. and of course then there was Jake who had promise of much fire and black powder.
Though these last 48 hours have been interesting, a lot of my mind, a lot on my plate trying to have done by the 28th, hoping to have specials/new plans etc. all ready to go, and deploy the new ticket system on FH as well as a slightly more updated site look and management system - so we shall see how it goes.
Anywhoo - that’s my rant for Saturday, going to do some work here for a bit on various things - if anyone has any crazy birthday ideas, hit me up on IM.
A fun night - spent from about 5ish -> Nowish (almost 3am) working with my brother down at the office on the new network setup, new router, new firewall, new servers - our buddy Charlie Brown (yes there is a second one) was also there helping out some too - but we got the firewall tweaked enough to allow the clients to be working on things in the AM, and now we just have to do some fine tuning in the AM to get general internet access allowed again
All in all a productive evening in the end, but now, I think it’s time for some wind-down (need food!), a shower, and a nap, as this all starts again tomorrow, and hopefully, prayerfully, not in 15m when one of the main east coast offices wakes up! Night all.

Spent the afternoon from about 2:30 -> 6pm (when I got home) hangin out with the crew from Awaken Apparel - taking some photos around town, it was a good shoot, my building manager was even awesome enough to give us access to the roof of the building, so we got some awesome views of the downtown area in the background! But some samplings of the day:
All in all, it was a fun shoot - relaxing, good locations, and some funny stuff - but check the Flickr account for some select shots, may add-in more later, but for now those were just a few I snuck up.
Also keep Rosie in your prayers, lot of busy-ness in her life right now with school, work, family - so she could definately use/appriciate your prayers - same for me too - lot on my mind, and trying to stay motivated and on top of things, a good last 2 days, but a lot of distractions, some I want, some I really don’t again as I have said, more on that later - but prayers are appriciated.
