…I Man-chu’d without my usual partner.
It was definitely not the same… 😦
However…
…I will be making up for it tonight when I violently assist my Nemesis with his quest.
Vague?
Yes.
Good luck, my friend!

Three Steves, Two Mikes, No Daves?
I had a relatively nice weekend, if you discount the odd stomach problems from eating improperly prepared Unagi.
On Saturday my parents visited to wish me a Happy Birthday, which is nice.
They chilled with us for a while, leaving late enough to have had a good visit, and early enough for us to prepare the house and yard for the barbecue we were having on Sunday.
The barbecue was a great time.
Mrs. J’s mom, some friends and other family members helped me enjoy a nice Sunday in May.
I don’t normally go around publicizing my birthday. While it’s nice to get gifts, it’s not really the focus of the day for me.
I just like to spend time with the people that I care about. As cheesy as it sounds, that’s the best gift of all.
Mrs. J managed to let everyone know ahead of time, though, so people did bring me some nice birthday gifts. Some also brought gifts for Little J, which was very sweet.
It was a mixed group of people, so it was far from boring. In fact, most of the time these sorts of groups mesh very well, because everyone learns something new and makes a new friend.
Although, sometimes I wonder if I subconsciously do it as some sort of bizarre entertainment for myself, like I’m some mad psychologist running a weird social experiment.
It was strange having no one named Dave present. Dave and Sarah visited a week earlier on their way to a shower for another friend, so it wasn’t really a Dave-less birthday.
And to answer the obvious question…
33.

Big Night
A great time was had last night.
Some friends of ours threw us a baby shower for Baby McFiggy last night.
Due to the challenge of finding a suitable venue, we asked them to throw it at our place, which allowed our friends to come see our house.
So, not only was it an awesome party, but it also served as a stress test for our place, to see if it could deal with a relatively large crowd.
And a large crowd it was. The rooms and hallways were full of friends.
Support
I wanted to do a general thank you here to everyone who came. Your presence and presents were very much appreciated.
Raising a baby is challenge enough. Your generous gifts will make it easier to take care of our little one.
I also wanted to thank our friends who threw the shower. They worked really hard to make everything go smoothly. Several other of our friends also helped with food and drinks.
We are truly blessed.
I can’t wait for you all to meet Baby McFiggy!

I Caved
Adrian tagged me with a challenge. Namely, list five reasons why I blog.
As most of you know, I don’t particularly care for lists. But since Adrian is a friend of mine, I figured I would rise to the challenge.
So, why do I blog?
It’s hard to put something like this into words, but I’ll give it a shot. Certainly my reasons may be different from when I first started, so for a list of five reasons as of this very moment…
1 – Amusement
I quite enjoy writing. It’s a lot of fun. Some of my friends say that I’m funny. And some of the things that occur in everyday life are just too good to keep to myself. Sharing them here makes me laugh even more sometimes.
2 – Challenge
Every once in a while, I will tell Dave a story about either something that happened to me, or something that I saw. He usually asks if I will blog about it, and I profess uncertainty. It is at this point that the challenge is issued: Can Jorge write a story and get the same reaction from the audience that he did when he used the spoken word? I’m pretty stubborn. Backing down from a challenge is usually not the way to go for me. So I hit the keys and see if I can do it.
3 – Information Dissemination
I like keeping my friends in the loop. At the same time, I’m not really a brag letter kinda guy. Important events and such that take place are usually relayed here in some form or another. Due to certain aspects of my life which I like to keep away from the public eye, some of these events are in code. You have to be in the club to understand.
4 – No Good Reason
Just because. Moving on…
5 – People
I enjoy attention. I like to make people laugh. I like to make people happy. At times, I find it helpful when I can make people understand how I feel by using my words and making them feel the same way. Without people, this would just be a diary. And if it was that, I’d just use a little notebook. I love comments. I love the interaction.
Now, it’s Your Turn
In true tagging form, I will ask the following people to answer the call. What are five of your reasons for blogging?
