The House that M Built

When you live life in the fast lane you work hard, and play hard.  You set the tone, bring in your all-star lineup, and let the scene play out.

This past weekend to celebrate my 23rd Birthay I orchestrated Joepaloooza XXIII, an annual event which my closest friends get together and cut loose, leaving a path of entertainment in our wake. I wanted to say thanks to everyone who attended for making the event memorable.

Thus far 2009 is going in the right direction.

February 3, 1986, I was born, and the world was not ready.

Okay, well I’ll drop the ego, but today I am celebrating my 23rd birthday.  It’s been a crazy ride thus far, with any luck 23 will be less dramatic and more successful than 22, but as far as I’m concerned the sky is the limit!  I want to thank my family for putting up with me all these years.  I’m a stubborn SOB sometimes, but my stubbornness has paid off many times, and has paved a way for me to be where I am today.  I also want to thank my friends, especially JV, CB, & LS.  You guys have been there for me for anything and everything, I owe you each many times over.

To me, 23 is not any birthday.  It is a significant milestone, specifically because my birth date is 2/3.  To commemorate the occassion, I’ve decided to add to the collection of ink on my body today by getting the roman numeral XXIII tattooed after work today.  I’ll post a picture up later once I’ve gotten the work done.

As far as celebrations are concerned, tonight will more than likely be low key.  Possibly dinner and a movie or something along those lines.  Saturday however, we’re going no holds barred at Monaco Bay, I’ll recap the event after the weekend (with pictures).
