25
I am officially a quarter century old today. does this mean i have to start getting my life together? that sounds stressful.
I didn't get this for my birthday, it's the only thing i asked for. i guess there is always next year.
CHEERS TO 25!

Denver
Where I stated that my blogs would be cynical, this one will not be. In fact, this blog is the sorta the softy side of me....so, exactly a week ago i flew to denver. The trip started off with me nearly missing maxine (aka max, the light rail to the airport. I was supposed to wake up at 4 to catch maxine at 4:35 downtown. I slept through my alarm til 4:25, bolted out of bed (didn't even get to brush my teeth) and out the door, and made it to maxine just as she was pulling up-perfect.
My mom picked me up at the airport and took me to Jane's house. As we pulled up the perfection of my weekend began. I was greeted by 5 kids flying out the door, as well as the rest of my family. Missy gave me my favorite present and card, signed in her best handwriting
And Payton made me the best birthday cake ever:
and then missy made me a blueberry pie, and sally made me several "Happy's" as she calls them...
and then there was some spectacular backyard camping, and not a single spook got us!
and on my last day, sally and i went on a walk to her favorite place, which she had been telling me about all weekend: starbucks, for chocolate milk. She is definitely my niece, teaching her about coffee/yuppie things at a young age.
oh, and how could i forget...sally is learning how to wink, and it is quite possibly the funniest and cutest thing ever!
The trip home was perfect...i spent quality time with my family, played hard with the kids, caught up with some old friends, and i can't wait to go back for longer in december when that new baby comes! i am hoping for a boy, but sally is pretty sure it's gonna be a girl, we will see who wins.
My flight home was delayed slightly due to a lightening storm, and to give you an idea of my experience on the flight, i think i would have been more comfortable, and had far more room, had i opted to stow myself in the overhead bin...
My work week is nearly over, and this weekend I will be celebrating my birthday, and I will probably go to my first day of class on monday feeling like only a dolla dolla bill, yo...luckily i am getting really good at starting off the quarter mildly hung over...here's to fall quarter 2010!

Post numero UNO (that means #1, in spanish)
So, as you can see from the title of this blog, I am basically bi-lingual, just chalk that up to pure genius, as I have never taken a Spanish class in my life...I went to Mexico once, so I'm pretty damn cultured as well. Plus, when it comes to Cinco de Mayo, I can drink Jose and corona with the with the best of 'em...and by "em" i clearly mean white college kids wearing sombreros...so yeah...bi-effing-lingual.
Anyway, enough about my bi-lingual genius....I have wanted to start a blog for quite some time, but I couldn't figure out what exactly to call it, I have pondered it, mulled a few ideas around in my head, even ASKED a few people for suggestions--don't worry, I politely acknowledged the ideas, but would never ACTUALLY use somebody else idea (who know else's wasn't a word)! So, today, while biking to work (because i'm super portland like that) BAM it came to me....cynicallyinsane...effing genius, right! Sorry folks, I can't bring myself to say the ACTUAL eff word on here (yet), because I know my mom will read this, and I need to protect her innocence....anyhoo...i came to work, logged in to blogspot, and decided it was time to put my genius idea on the world wide web...much to my dismay cynicallyinsane was ALREADY TAKEN...devastation! so, alas, cynicallyill is what you get...and really, just as accurate.
So, with a great name for the blog, naturally the next question, is what in the h does one blog about, especially for their first blog? so, this is what you get for blog number one. I promise (well, kinda promise) not to be consistently cynical, but promise to always be cocky. I hope to update regularly, and will often write one line blogs, that probably have zero relevance to anyone but myself, but you will still read them, because you want a taste of my witty humor. i hope for lots of comments, which may only include inappropriate humor....
cynically,
jc
