30. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?

I had band practice on my actual birthday but it was still good. My Wingmen plus Sher dropped in on us so we had a mini celebration. Quarter-life crisis hit me last year so I threw a small but fun fun fun party with my brother. Everyone (well, almost..) came in denim and white so the pictures look really cool. In Vino made it's first public appearance plus my former bandmates and other talented musician friends jammed with us. Alcohol flowed endlessly so everyone was pretty much smashed. I was super memorable because almost all of the people who I hold dear really made it a point to be there. It was the best birthday I've had.

I don't really know.. While it was crazy, trying, and full of changes, 2005 proved to be a relatively good year for me.
