Yes!  Effing Crap!  Tomorrow is my birthday.  As you know, we’ll be at Sneaky Pete’s, on Lake Lewisville, all day come rain or shit or shine.

Here are two more last minute birthday gift suggestions:

Let me borrow your boat for a day.  You don’t even have to let me drive it.  But, I call shotgun.

Let me borrow your Water Bicycle.

(note:  I will also accept boat/water bicycle rentals.)

Oh man, oh man, oh man I am getting really excited, and you should too!  3 more days of being 25.  It’s always a kind of funny feeling when your age changes.  You’re always gradually getting older, but when your actual age changes, thats pretty neat.  So, less than 72 hours of my 25 year old self is left.

What should we do?

Oooh man, things are really starting to heat up here at jamesjardine.wordpress.com!!!  Merrell and I are so excited about Saturday.  Mostly because of everyone that will be there, (also there are a ton of sand volleyball courts … )

Here are today’s suggestions for good gifts to make me on my big day:  CAKE!!!

Cake is effing delicious!  I will eat it until I get sick.  I can eat the shit out of some cake!  Here are some cake suggestions and recipes via DoNotClickThat.  Thanks Jesse!

This is one badass tasty morsel of a cake

Make it happen!

All right you wretched darlings, you.  Here’s the scoop:  Merrell and I are having the coolest joined birthday party of the year and it’s taking place on Saturday May 9th all effing damn day!  We’ll be at Sneaky Pete’s.  If you haven’t been there it’s pretty much amazing.  I know you’re asking yourself “James, what the hell is a Sneaky Pete’s, and why are we spending your birthday there???”

Here’s why :  5 Sand Volleyball courts, 3 Full Service Bars, 2 swimming pools, 1 volleyball pool and 1 Lewisville Lake.  I’m not too sure if we can bring coolers of beer out there, but I recomend it anyways, (we’re crafty as shit, so we’ll figure something out, so bring it and leave it in your car.)  The drinks there are pretty cheap though.

I will constantly remind you over the course of the next week about this epic event.  Plan on spending the entire day there, I will.

Ten more days left of my “so called” 25 year old life.  I’m fine tuning all the details/plans for the birthday events.

Here’s a little hint:  Merrell and I are having a joined birthday.

If you don’t have a swim suit then get one now.

If you’re allergic to Sand or Volleyball then don’t come.

Now here are some more things I need to get on my birthday:

Less than 2 weeks and I’ll be 26.  Woo-Wee!  I got the most excellent early birthday present from Chelsea yesterday, a Rosegold oversized chronograph time piece from Michael Kors.  It’s effing radical!

The Lunocet just walked into the room and took spot numero uno on my Things I Would One Day Like To Own list.  No contest, I’m about to find a second job in order to obtain one of these things.

“James!  This might be the most impractical purchase you’ll ever make!!!”

“Fuck You!  No It’s not!”

If you know anything about me at all then you know I am usually not happy unless i’m in/under water.

The Lunocet is a is 2.5 pound one piece fin made up of carbon fiber and fiber glass.  The fin is one 42 inch long piece of awesome!  Divers using the Lunocet have been timed at over 8 miles per hour, That’s Twice as fast as Michael Phelps at his best!  (Put that in your pipe and smoke if M.P.!)

Are you seriously not convinced that this product is not amazing?  How about this:  YOU CAN BREACH THE SURFACE OF WATER!  The speed you can aquire with the lunocet make breaching the surface possible.  That’s fucking amazing.  If ther’s a payment plan than you can expect to see me with one of these bad boys soon.  But don’t blink, you might lose me!

I found this amazing piece of bookshelf magic on Apartment Therapy.  It’s a concept piece by artist Ron Arad that is on display at the Timothy Taylor Gallery.  Unfortunately this piece is not in production.  I think instead of filling each shelf with only books I’d think of clever little knick-knacks to put into each respective state.  I would leave Idaho empty because I’m convinced there’s nothing there.

I found these brutal bathroom accessories on Spinning Hat, and they might just be abhorrent and amazing enough for my own bathroom!

So Cool.
