I have a book. Stephen Colbert’s “I Am America (And So Can You!)” was part of Joe’s gift to me for my birthday. This copy, alas, was a bit more special for, on the inside cover, were scribed the signatures of Stephen Colbert and his thee co-authors. Ok, enough of the fancy speak. The signed book is fucking awesome, but now I have to wait for Joe to get himself an unsigned copy so I can read it without ruining my signed copy. I can’t wait.

I also have a CD, namely, Seether’s “Finding Beauty In Negative Spaces”. The album is a strong release by the band, though it’s getting beat on by the critics for being a bit more main stream. I can agree that, sometimes, the producers added too many effects to Shaun’s voice, though it’s bearable. The real issue someone could take is the roller coaster of music styles. The first half is very heavy and real energetic rock. The second half is more sullen with a ballad or two thrown in. I definitely prefer the first half, that’s for sure.

So what’s the other stuff? I also received a hoodie and a pair of sneakers from my Mom. My dad claimed rights, also, but he didn’t actually have any involvements in the entire process so I give full credit to my Mom lol. Sure, I picked them out and all, it was still cool of her to get me both, especially since they were a little over the usual limit.

Thanks to everyone who gave me gifts and/or well wishes for my birthday. Oh, in brief other news, I’ve been grubbing quite a few extra hours at work, lately. I need the money so I’ll do what I can.
