First off, thank you all very kindly for the wonderful birthday wishes I got over the weekend. It was greatly appreciated. You otaku's are a fantastic bunch and I really enjoy being a member here. =3

I find this year rather ironic since the one thing I've noticed as I get older is that I never really feel that old. And yet I look back and have both sad and fantastic memories that tell me otherwise. I can recall thinking it would be terrible to be 40 and yet now that I'm here, I can't imagine losing the precious memories that I have.

And speaking of memories... I got an MP3 player (16GB) for my b-day. I've always had either tape ones or then after that the cd types. Not that I had anything against going digital, I just couldn't see getting one while my other stuff worked just fine.

Now that I have it (and I'm slowly transferring mah music to it) I am reminded of the 8-tracks that my grandparents had when I was a little kid. Linked for anyone who might not know what I'm talking about. >>

Man, I just love memories like that. Being able to look back and see where it was and then compare it to where it is now.... <3 Makes me happy really. I love seeing things improve and change. Sure some change isn't all that hot, but a lot of it is pretty damn cool.

Anyway... trip down memory lane complete! Later all. XD
