Today was my birthday and it was definitely not the greatest. Quite honestly, this whole weekend has been less than special. On saturday, I went to the Zen cooking class. That was pretty cool, I\'m learning how to make vegitarian food. Afterward I met some friends at a coffeehouse in Ann Arbor. That was all right but I didn\'t tell anyone about my birthday. Sunday was a very disappointing day. I was going to get together with my friend Whitney but she cancelled out on me. We did talk for a while on the phone. She had broken up with a boyfriend and was trying to cope. I haven\'t seen Whitney in a long time. We ran into each other a few months ago at the roller derby. I was surprised she remembered me. Both of us even looked different, we had both changed so much. She promised we would get together soon. Today, I went to visit my mom. She made a steak dinner for me. How can I tell her I\'m trying to cut meat out of my diet? Well, I did tell her, but I also told her that what mattered was that the meal was made with love. She got a good laugh out of that. I did stop at one of my favorite coffeehouses on the way home, the Cafe 1923 in Hamtramck. I didn\'t tell anyone there it was my birthday either. My friend Sophia stopped by. I could have told her but she was very sad because a Hamtramck city councilperson had died. That is pretty sad. The world needs as many progressives as it can get. Hamtramck is famous for it\'s city council meetings. They are like events put on by the World Wrestling Federation.

My friend, Maggie has invited me to visit her in Niagra Falls this weekend. I can\'t afford to go. With gas prices the way they are I estimate the round trip would cost me $50. I don\'t have an extra $50 to spare. Maybe she will let me come another weekend.

Okay, so this was my first blog posting. I\'ve just noticed I\'m pretty good at rambling!
