I just turned 33. I’m happy to have lived another year– this one should be the best YET.

Back then it was more like Crib Surfing Ori

I was cute and innocent back then.  My parents can give all sorts of examples of how early I caused trouble :)   I like being mischievious.

Anyways– this post will be short, ’cause it’s 12:30am, and I’m still packing up.  I want to be done packing soon, and get on the road to Austin, TX.  I have many awesome friends there, and we’re having a party at 8:30 (CST) at The Club at 360.  You’re invited too!

So… while packing isn’t all that exciting… this time it is.. ’cause what I can’t fit in my car is being thrown away.  And… my 3 monitors are taking up a ton of space, so… that doesn’t leave much for stuff to take.

Other than packing, this is the greatest way to start a new year:

I already mentioned a party. Then there’s great friends.  There’s an adventure (a 14-16 hour road trip in the niddle of the night).  My older brother called right at 11:59, and sang happy birthday… then I made him sing it in Hebrew… then I made him sing it in Italian (he’s really smart… could’ve done Spanish & French too).  Then my parents called and sang.  The great thing is that I recorded all their singing!  The sound will probably suck ’cause my speaker phone ain’t that great, but I was recording a funny video for my blog where …. hmmm… you know what, you’ll have to wait to find out what it is!  But I’ll tell you this much, my friend Brian that was on the phone when I came up with the idea was stunned, and said I must let him know what happens.  Since it was so crazy, and funny, I said I’d record it.  Glad I did record it, ’cause now I was able to get the b-day singing (to be posted once I’m in Austin).

So yeah.. also starting the year blogging, and making cool videos.

33 is great so far!  Yeah.. go ahead and start with the Old Jokes :)   “Were you sad when the dinosaurs died?”  — I told a 31 year old today that we didn’t have televisions back when I was his age :D

Anyways- off to pack, and get on the road!  If you want to give me a birthday present, buy me gas, it will really help me out.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ORI!!!

    How appropriate that you'd be heading to Austin when I pop in on your blog…it's where I metcha.

    As an (ahem) older woman, I can tell you life well lived doesn't really matter how old the calendar tells you you are. I think you're example of that :) .

    Sweet post, Ori. Have an amazing year! 33 has magic to it (not that you're short on that.) Blessings of good times, health, happiness, peace, and abundance to you.

    I have 2 weeks left to figure out what kind of crazy adventures I'll get into. Thinking some other countries may be fun. Thanks for the b-day wishes. Here's to an incredible 2010 (& 33)

    I'm reading your comment at Kate BUCK's place…. which is how we met in Austin— “What's the difference between beer nuts & deer nuts?” (pretty impressive, eh? Remembering what the 1st joke I told someone 9 months ago :) But don't ask me to recite the entire 2 hours worth of jokes). Thanks for the b-day wishes…. I could care less about the calendar… I still feel youn enough to jump off cliffs, play with dangerous animals, and tell racist jokes to ethnicities. Life…. Bring it!
