july seven, nineteen seventy seven

brother charles vincent cabel, first lieutenant of the united states army, was born on july 7, 1977... 07/07/77. thirty years later, surrounded by sand and radical muslims, he celebrates his birthday while serving his country, all the way in fucking baghdad!
i have a wedding today, but i will certainly be doing a shot to chuck! when he gets back (jan/feb '08), we'll have to celebrate again! but until then, keep your thoughts and prayers with him! happy 30th, chuck!

i didn't do much last night, but pine over not having a date for sara's wedding. i really should've asked this one girl, but i was too scared. fucking typical.
and no. it's not ariel. and by the way, my father finds it amusing to now refer to her as "the little mermaid". so in passing i'm subjected to comments like, "what's up with the mermaid?" or "have you called the 'little' one yet?" jesus h. christ.

who sings that?

so i saw this jcpenny commercial today and i noticed two things... number one, jcpenny's marketing department or the ad agency that's helping them, has been doing a great job trying to improve their image. kudos to them. number two, they've been using some great background music in their commercials. i know that regina spektor sang one of the older ones, but in the one i saw, they used the song " all that i want ", by the weepies . and by the way, i don't know if you pronounce it weep-ies, like freebies or wee-pies, like levi's . anyways, i think that if you don't watch tv a lot, you pay more attention to the commercials, and in this particular case, the soundtrack was delicious.
