My brother got his first job so we all went out to celebrate. Good food in large amounts eaten in the company of the people you love is one of life's greatest joys.

Finally, for the first time since late August, I was able to go to the pool tonight.

I've been trying to get back into it since I got back from vacation in late September, but life kept thwarting me.

Happy to see I can still pull off 2 clicks in 50 min. feeling the good kind of exhausted, and I should be well on the way to finally shedding the extra weight I picked up from the trip (and all the delicious European beer), as well as all the birthday-related festivities.

Naw, I have posted more than a couple times in the pictures thread. I just haven't done so in years. This is old Gusty I guess.

So, 10 days later, had a proper 30th birthday party for my friends.

Majority of people showed up, which was good. Everyone told me they had fun, which is great. I'm amostly sober, because I sweated out whatever I drank at least 3 times on the dance floor.

All in all, a solid night. Nothing particularly ultra-memorable, but good time with great friends. If I have so many great people around me, I must be doing something right in life.

Man I love breakfast burritos. Do you guys love breakfast burritos?

It's the perfect remedy for a night of drinking. Everything to get one right wrapped up in a warm tortilla shell: steak, chorizo sausage, egg, potato, bacon, ham, cheese, onions, red and green bell peppers. Pared with hot black coffee and the morning's hang over is swept away and you face the rest of the day with a hop in your step and a happy whistle on your lips.

I do love a good breakfast burrito. Theres a place around here that puts a thin sliver of sausage gravy in the middle of theres.

I've always been crazy but its kept me from going insane.

I just like potatoes, eggs and cheese in my breakfast burritos, sometimes some soyrizo.
