“last week the candle factory burned down. everyone just stood around and sang Happy Birthday.” –stephen wright

i would like to dedicate this post to today.
the date is october 10, 2010.
aka 10/10/10
aka tenery day.
that’s what people told me.

but more importantly…

many special people have birthdays today.
let me tell you about them.
francis christian burton the 3rd. or sicnarf. chris and i play settlers of catan together. we’re going to do one big epic game someday. it will be, well, epic. so holler atcher boy. he also has a fish named sparticus. don’t worry about it—it’s high school.
john sellers. john and i are now friends. it was a long road to travel, but we’re on good terms now. he was an assistant in my parents’ mission. he’s a fan of converse. which is a little iffy. because i’m such a hardcore vans fan. but we’re still great friends.
ryan evans. ryan was in my freshmen ward. he always fixed my computer. he was a smarty. he’s also serving a mission in arizona. so he gets double brownie points.
kip stromberg. kip is in my ward right now. he is a hard core big booty player. he’s a fantastical individual.
matthew meese. he is one of the main stars of divine comedy. my roomies and i may or may not be obsessed with him…i mean, divine comedy. we sang to him the other night at a show. he’s the greatest.
