So it turns out I didn’t do anything extravigant or crazy for my 30th birthday. Mel and I went to DC to the Smithsonian. And yes we did go to the history museum. Appropriate huh? There’s a pic below with me getting chomped by a T-rex.

And here’s Mel’s head. 🙂

After spending the day looking at old stuff… we decided to have dinner at Dubliner an Irish Pub in DC. It was pretty good the food was excellent and it reminded me a bit of Kilian’s in Munich. You know being an Irish pub and all… here I am with my Birthday Beer. 😉

Man I have been dreadfully bad at keeping up with this.

Well, a lot has happened since I last wrote. First, I didn’t get the job. 🙁

It would have been really nice to be back in Germany, even if it wasn’t in Munich. I guess it just wasn’t meant to be.

Christmas has come and gone. I did get some cool gifts this year. Thanks to dad’s big bonus I got an Ipod. Yippee!! I also got my first bra. 😉 Well a bra for my car that is. It is a cover for the front of the car to protect it from all the junk that flies up off the road. You know like a chunk of rubber tire that is kicked up by the car in front of you. I don’t know anything about that…

Anyway, Mel has been here as well. Unfortunately she has already gone back to Germany. 🙁 It was a good visit though. We might see some big changes in the near future. 😉

Some other big news, I turned 30!!!! Ugh, I’m old now….well I prefer to say, ‘experienced’ . Makes me feel a bit better about it. Does make you think about life a bit though. One thing I do plan on doing better this year and now that I am 30; is keep up with my blog. 🙂

For new year’s eve this year we went to Baltimore to Julian’s sister Yasmin’s place. It was a great time…drank a bit too much I think. …I think. One good thing Julian and Mel finally got to meet. You know have to get the best friends approval, you know. Here’s a good pic of me and Julian from New Year’s eve:

So, it looks like next Thursday I have an interview for the a new position at work. It is sounds really cool too. It would put me back in Germany for the llike 3-6 months. I could deal with that. I would also go back every quarter for a week. This is the sort of position I have looking for! The title is ‘International Product Manager’. It would basically be the product manager for the US. I would be in the same office as I am in now.

Unfortunately Martin has left. I haven’t heard anything from him yet. So, I hope he made it ok. I’m sure he is fine. He and I are going to go for a bit of a business venture. So, I will be doing that on the side as well as work. I will be a busy man. 😉

So I finally watched Fahrenheit911. It’s about time!

Well, I think it was really good. I understand why the republicans are so scared of Michael Moore. It is amazing the stuff he comes up with, and you know it is true too!

When I read “Stupid White Men” I did some research on the where he claimed to get the info. I found some revealing sources. One was an article in the Boston Globe talking about the connection between the Bush and the Bin Laden family. I mean this isn’t stuff that Moore is making up. But, the sad part is that way too many people just don’t want to believe it. I think it is great what Moore is doing.

I wish we had more people like him, excercising thier freedoms.

First I get pulled over on the way to work and out of like 5 cars I’m the only one that gets pulled over… When I went to get my license I realized I forgot my wallet. I ended up getting a “failure to obey traffic signs” which is better than a speeding ticket. So, that was a bit of a break.

So now I was supposed to go out in Philly with Martin, but I don’t have a ID so, no going anywhere since we’re in the US and I still get checked for ID even though you’re 29 years old!

So, my choices are drive an hour home and an hour back to be able to go out tonight. Or drive home and stay there and spend the night at home!

Crap isn’t it….
