Happy Birthday To Me

July 14, 2008 Varna 3 comments

Its my birthday today. I’m now twenty three years old. A lot wiser, greyer, wider and more sober than last year. I’m also on a different continent, and so the birthday has been a quiet affair thus far. My birthday resolutions for this year – I want to find a job I can keep and invest in real estate.
