My birthday wishes!

My birthday is two weeks away! (September 16)

I hope everyone enjoys the long Labor Day weekend. If you feel like being awesome, you could think about sending me something cool. I took a few moments to tweak my Amazon wish list — I added a bunch of books (including Kindle books) for under $10, some stuff and things for under $20, some games, and the Sony Playstation 3 Wireless Headset (I'm particularly interested in that). You can get me something that I want, and it doesn't have to cost a lot!

If you don't feel like sending me a Kindle e-book or something else, perhaps you can send a donation to your favorite charity for me. You can even donate in ways that cost you nothing! Click here to donate to The Hunger Site — you can even help animals, too.

I'd really appreciate a gift off of my wish list. However, I know that sending a gift to a cripple isn't high on everyone's list... you might not like me, or know me, or have the means. That's okay. Take care of yourself. There are so many things that I cannot physically do these days; I used to take my health for granted and I assumed that I'd stay fit and invulnerable. Life is short, and as we get older, time seems to fly by even faster. Try to enjoy each day — each moment — live a good life and do good things... tell me about it or don't, if you're making things better for someone, that's a good gift, too.

My sister turns 18 tomorrow. I can so very clearly remember her first birthday — cake everywhere! Time really does fly by. Make the most of it.

Hey everyone! I just created a wish list at V2Cigs! Brad’s V2 wish list — help me make the switch to the highest quality American e-cigarette! I read reviews and have personally tried other models… this two-piece looks like a winner.

I love Swedish candy! (Blame Maddy) If you feel like sending me something really special, go to swedishcandy.es — tell the manager (his name is Urban) to send Brad some hallonbatar and zoo. They accept Paypal only (I think)

I can always use iTunes, Gamestop, Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Playstation Network gift cards. I used to think that cash was better than a gift card, but I’ve changed my mind about that.

Lastly, I’ll actually be around the bay area on and around my birthday this year, too! Let me know if you want to get coffee or something. I’ll be out by the 20th, however. I want to try and hit tennis balls, if you’re into that kind of thing. I can’t really “play” the game anymore, but I can hit straight!

Enjoy Labor Day! (US Open 2nd week on CBS, ESPN & Tennis Channel)
