Jackson + Lincoln

Well folks, something happened one month ago today that I was a little afraid to admit, but the more I think about it, the more I realize that it may have been a good thing. As some of you may know, or as none of you know and that's quite all right with me as I'm seconds away from informing you anyway, February 28th was not only my birthday, but my official quarter of a century of not getting thrown in front of a semi and/or hit in the face with a shot-put toss. I'm rather proud of these two achievements. In addition to this momentous occasion, however, February 28th marked another happening (and this is the part that terrified me): as I suited up to go into battle with my liver at a local pub, one of my bracers malfunctioned. In laymen's terms, one of my powerbands broke. Like a staff in the hands of a sorcerer, my powerbands were the focal point of my outrageous badassness. There's no word in the English language to describe what went through my head for the next 5 minutes, but with my fantastic attention span, that's all the time it took for me to see that I still had some gum left and get excited about that. But allow me to go backwards; one of my powerbands broke. As much as this utterly sucks, it also means that one of them was still in tact. Yes, luckily, the lightening bolt remains unscathed, as the hugely neon green band has sacrificed its life in the line of duty.
In retrospect, I think it may be fitting. I mean, how much more significant is it that on the very day I turn 25, that one of the only powerbands in the known universe can no longer contain my awesomeness? It's frail rubber form just couldn't deal with the fact that I had conquered 25 years of pure rocking glory. It's also a testament to the lightening powerband's ability to adapt to and wield awesome powers, such as my ability to run at varying speeds. I know. Amazing.

But I sure will miss the green guy.

Kari, I've had this question come up a couple times since I posted this. I'll be including a full description and picture soon. I expect that many people will wet themselves because of this.
Love,

Dear best buddy,
I'm sorry to hear about the hugely awesome green powerband. It's a good thing 2 hotties, we'll just call them Swisti and Khannon for confidentiality purposes, gave you the best superhero belt ever. That should make you feel a little better over the loss. But still, nothing can ever replace the jolly green giant. (shutup, its a totally fitting name.) Oh and way to be crazy awesome for giving up meat and sugar for lent. Respect knuckles for that yo.
Love, your best buddy :)

P.S. Kristi makes me laugh.
