Happy Birthday Jason

Yeah it's Jason's birthday and he will be 24. It's his year, the year of the dog. I still remember one of my earliest memories of him was him gloating that he was a golden retreiver in a dog quiz. I remember thinking that he was absurdly proud of this rather odd fact. For the record, I was a labrador or something.

Btw, dogs ARE really cute. I'm wondering if I should get a dog. I'm not too eager to clean up after its messes, but maybe it would be fun. Almost all my colleagues are pet owners, and I've never had a "cool" pet before. What do you guys think? Should I get a little puppy?

Due to the intermission known as MCAT study period, I stopped watching this show just short of the last four episodes. It was a long interlude too - about 2 months I think.

It's strange. 24 is not as good now. Maybe because I have grown emotionally distant from the cast and the storyline that the things that happen in the show engages me less now. I just watched two episodes last night and didn't feel much for any of the characters. I was almost bored, just waiting idly for whatever "heart-stopping" cliffhanger they would attempt to throw at me next. I know that a lot of people have worked very hard to make this show happen and that there are definitely very strong merits to the show, but I just couldn't get into it. Maybe tonight, the final two episodes will be more satisfying. I think I'm too jaded for my own good.

You weren't a labrador. You were that dog from Lady and the Tramp. I forget what it's called. I can't believe you would disrespect Tony Almeida like that. You stink.

It's wishful thinking. My parents are adamant against having a dog. My mother says, "If the dog stays, I leave." How do you choose between your mother and a dog??

What if I got you a cat? Rabbit? Gerbil?

For my birthday? That would be sweet, but no....I don't particularly like rabbits or little rodents Jason. They give me the creepy crawlies.

Maybe I'll give you an albino rat. That should cure what ales you. To combat fear, one must first learn to understand fear. Confront that which you fear most. Embrace it. Only then will you be able to strike fear into the hearts of your enemies.
