so it'sa my birthday, folks

i'm 22 today, and it doesn't feel that much different than yesterday. my wife says i feel older, but i'm not noticing a significant change. really, after 21, birthdays don't have much importance except for the fact that you're one year older.

i like this picture. that dog is having a birthday party...

here's some other famous people's goings on when they were 22...

Bill Murray, a one-time aspiring surgeon, was arrested with nine pounds of marijuana at O'Hare Airport. The incident forced him to drop out of college, and his brother eventually persuaded Bill to give comedy a try in Chicago.

At 22, Johnny Cash went from decoding Russian communications for the Air Force to recording his first country single at Sun Records. In between, he did a lot of living.

Oprah Winfrey dropped out of college to become a newsreader in Nashville, and at 22 moved to Baltimore to work at another station where she landed her own talk show.

Jack White had his own upholstery business at age 22, but while practicing the guitar he asked his wife, Meg, to try the drums-he liked her playing so much they began performing as a two-piece band, the White Stripes.


while i am 22, i will celebrate my first marriage anniversary, graduate college with a BFA in fine art, need to find a real job, and who knows what else. if everything goes according to plan. or lack thereof.
