They say it's my birthday :: Mike Neir's Page

Yep, today I turn the big 27. I've been waiting for this one for a long time, since there are so many cool and new things that can happen when you're 27. Things that just can't happen when you're 26. I think the biggest one is being able to truthfully proclaim that you're 27.

I guess that's the only thing that happens when you're 27. Oh well. I guess it doesn't matter so much. I've got the awesome privilege of both paying rent and getting my plates renewed tomorrow, so I'm naturally completely unable to sit still due to the great expectations involved with said events. Apparently I didn't need that money anyway. One cool thing about tomorrow (well, today technically) is that I'm getting a birthday party thrown for me by a few buddies at work. It's not completely for me, since another guy from work has the same birthday as me coincedentally, and the party is for him as well, but it'll be fun nonetheless.

I've actually been keeping somewhat busy over the past week, which one reason for the lack of posts. I've taken over maintaining yet another project at work, which is completely great since I already have a full plate of tasks that I can only sample because I'm constantly having to change my focus. This one needed a lot of attention though, and I'm going to rearrange some things so it doesn't require so much babysitting in the future. Hopefully it doesn't drag out too long.

I was also introduced to an awesome time thursday night - Thirsty Thursdays at Lansing Lugnuts games. For those not familiar, the Lugnuts are a Single-A minor league baseball tieam. Thirsty Thursdays entail $2.00 draft beers for the duration of the game. They were served in roughly 20oz plastic cups, and Labatts was on tap. You can't get a much better deal than that. The main target demographic seems to be the 20-somethings, so there was a lot of scenery for us single-type guys. It was a ton of fun, and I'll defintely be partaking in more of those in the future.

Happy Birthday.

Yeah, I like how I have to pay the state more money every year too. I wish they did things like Arizona, your plates expire one year from when you get them, not on your birthday.

Happy Birthday foolish! My buddy Ryan has told me many a story of a Lugnuts game and the super cheap beer that those games provide.
