I'm 26.

Ok so this is the end of any talk concerning my birthday. But for those who planned it and those who attended and those who couldnt be there, this post is for you.
birthday1
Some of my bestest friends came into town for the celebration.
Kelsey(Vegas), Marci(costa mesa), KR(HB) and the Meadows (Salt Lake)

Christy Moe got me those awesome silly straw glasses (which my nephews are now obsessed with). Look at all those people! I was in shock.
birthday7
Aubrey got me these beautiful roses...very romantic.

birthday10

birthday4
The night ended with a light poetry reading by my friends. Neil (right) was the soundpiece to start off the poems and man, they were funny.

Here is Neils poem:

Dear shav,
you are short,
kind of like
A quick retort,

you make cakes
like my mom makes pans,
thin,
but too thin,
goes straight to my calfs,

You live in vegas,
like I live in Cal,
but when you drink
you call me hal,

So that one didn't
have a good rhyme,
sue me or something,
I'm doing just ok,

You have a drug problem,
hitting tylonal pm
when the time starts with an "a"
I'd criticize you,
but it seems rude,
good thing I don't got no attitude

Kind of like jumping on an air mattress,
like it's a trampoline,
but really it's not,
it's your portable sleeping cuisine

Cuisine can mean,
whatever I want,
in this case,
a portable cot

I smoke dope,
but only when writing pimp, linguistic notes,
making this poem,
kind of lome,
lome is my new word,

I use to mean lame,
when lame won't rhyme,
with the word I want,
at a specified particular spot,

if it means something else,
perhaps not proper,
I don't take accountability,
I'm not a *ing word dropper - What?!

What-what this poem's about to drop,
like a bomb on bagdad,
I start wars for my old dad,
I put politics into my rhymes,
cause it's my only way of starting up crime,
I now will list all my complaints,
from the weather to Mike Saint
Mike Saint always serves in the square,
while my partner just returns it straight into the air,
I'm really thirsty right now,
cause there's no water in reach,
and K-rocks upstairs,
cause she's straight asleep,
and I'm stuck in the foyer
watching latino dudes,
rip up the front doorway,
seems kind of rude

this table I'm typing on,
doesn't feel that strong,
and I need a shower,
if I'm gonna have a chance to get it on,
My life's a little crazy
Kind of like Jay-z
Managing Rihanna,
but not Mr. Chris B

Kind of like JT
Dating the Biel,
but his eyes wandering,
like a player for a steal,
Did you read that blog today?
Where that one guy said that one thing,
and then that other one had nothing to say?
It was cra-zay,

Now to rap up,
so I can start this nap up,
I'd like to just speak up,
and say this day's measuring up,
got me all fired up,
to keep typing up,
quit my job and take a new career up,
Kind of like the Phoenix,
Taking my life to it's zenith,
grow a beard,
drink a beer,
start to rhyme so all can hear,
room - boom,
boom - room,
this poem,
was totally, totally doomed...
Luckily my word doc just ran out of room.

and here is Pete's:

Shauna has a cute lil batootie,
That adds to her darling and beauty,
With her style and her smarts,
Her crafts and her arts,
Becoming like her is our duty.

Adorable huh? There were many others that were grand that i will later possibly be posting, but these two emailed me their poems so i fortunately have them with me at work.

All in all, it was a grand time, i felt very loved and now....im 26. WEIRD.

shavs, you make me smile!!! i'm so glad you had a happy 26th birthday. you looked absolutely adorble and i love that pic of you with britt and linds. HOT! and neil, if you're reading this, what the h#%* was that poem?

Aubrey, it's called "genius".

Admittedly "genius" is a bit harder to discern in text format than in a candle lit poetry reading, so I have decided to forgive your harshness.

You're welcome
