Hey guys,
Just wanted to say thank you to you guys for making my birthday very memorable. As I get older, I always think my b-day will just be the same ol' thing, people taking you out for dinner and boom it's gone. Not much to really remember, not much to be considered eventful, but this year was different.

This is the first time I had a surprise party thrown for me and I enjoyed it. I was so happy to gaining another year and sharing my special event w/ my friends.

Tony and Derek - Thanks so much for the baseball gear. We need to get out there and play now. I have the arm bands and I have the batting gloves, as Tony would say..."Let's play some ball!" Yes Derek on buying an Xbox. You two are getting a lot better. From my perspective, the only thing I would say you might want to work on is being more aggressive, not standing still when firing, and maybe aiming quicker. For the most part you guys are improving and I can't wait to play some more Halo.

Brendan, Jonathan, Brian and the rest of the Horiuchi's - Thanks for the camera, as you can see I carry that bad boy with me everywhere and I love the present. You guys have always given me what I've wanted for X-mas and I appreciate the effort taken to give me such a great present. I hope to make you proud by putting some kick ass pictures on my site.

Andy - Thanks for the champagne and oj. That was an awesome gesture!

Alright boys, well I just wanted to end this by saying that I got some of the best friends a guy can ask for and thanks for making me special on my b-day.

I wish Steve and Brian could've been there, but it's all good, we'll all celebrate in Vegas someday =)
