Actually, my birthday was nearly five months ago, and I just realized that I haven't made an entry on it.

Really, why should I have? My birthday was far from happy. I lost a close relative to cancer, lost a dear friend, and basically spent my birthday alone, since I was off on a vacation around the country, looking for a new place to live since El Paso was becoming stale, drab, and short on job opportunities.

Yeah. Happy birthday to me, huh? Turning thirty-four wasn't as good as I thought it'd be.
