Hey Folks! Well I'm a year older but not a year wiser, but I am still a wisenheimer!
B'day celebrations were great! Thanks to everybody who hung out, and even peeps who couldn't show up. Let's recap shall we?
On the actual day of my birthday I usually don't do anything since everyone has plans with their respective bf/gfs. So a friend of mine let me know that his Bluegrass band was performing at a club in the city. I went to check them out and they were phenomenal! They are called The DixieBee-Liners, and my friend Buddy plays the mandolin and sings. His girlfriend Brandi plays guitar and sings as well. If you ever have a chance to see them, make sure not to miss em, they are sure to please! Check their website for shows and other info.

Buddy and Brandi - aren't they cute?
On Tuesday my friends were supposed to all meet me at a bar called The Remote Lounge which supposedly is open at 6 PM. Well the bar never opened so instead we went to a little dive bar called 2B, which is located on the corner of 2nd and B. Wow! We had a surprise celebrity guest as James Gandolfini showed up at the bar! It sure was nice of him to come out for the party. Despite the location change, everybody still showed up and a good time was had by all! Dinner at the famous 2nd Ave. Deli was icing on the cake.

Happy Birthday, ya fuck.
Then on Sat me and Sentaak went to ye olde Strip Clubb. I met a new dancer there who was quite interesting. I asked her her name and she said "Yana" and I said, "What? How do you spell that?" "What is your name," she asked in a heavy Russian accent. I asked what her name was again. She screamed, " Y, A, N, A, YANA!!!!!!"
"Um where are you from?" I asked.
"WHAT IS YOUR NAME!!"
"Umm, Ross"
"Pleasure to meet you Ross, I am from Russia."
"Which part?"
"THE COLD PART!!"
"UH ok"
"You want sexy dance?"
"Uh, yes?"
She then proceeded to take me back to the couch.
"You like it rough?"
Before I had a chance to answer she threw me into the couch and jumped on top of me.
"Rar" she said.
God bless crazy Russian strippers.

Republik of YANA!!
And now for some Internet odds and ends:
Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring BANANA-PHONE!
What's so funny about this is not the woman getting hurt, but the non-caring reaction of her news co-workers. Yeesh!
According to this, 71% of kids say they "need" a vacation. I guess the pressure of not working to pay for rent, or food is getting to them.

It's a trap!
Jessica Alba says she's done sleeping around. Why am I always the last to know these things? DAMMIT!!

Jess, call me back, I'm still available!
Russian scientists develop tablet to prolong drunkenness. Wow, the fall of Communism WAS a good thing!

What a country! More drinking with YANA!!
And finally, a poster for a strip-club was voted "too obscene" by the community and underwear was pasted onto the poster. The underwear keeps getting mysteriously removed.
One mother said: "There are probably some little ones who might think this is Santa's wife."

Woah, Santa's wife is HOT!
Thanks to Fark.com for da news.
Peace!
