Superficial Intelligence

I had planned to write a post yesterday night, but a pleasant surprise kept me from doing so. I was invited by a neighbor to play a little Rock Band (which was very fun!). My wife then calls me on the phone due to a supposed emergency. When I get back home, there were a bunch of my friends ready to sing Happy Birthday.

I really had a great time. If I remember right, it's my first surprise birthday party. The funny thing is that, besides my wife, every other friend there I've made over the past year. So I want to take this blog post to just say that I am grateful to God for the friends I've been making here in Minnesota. I really enjoy their international flavor too. I've made friends from Japan, China, India, Mexico, Argentina, Puerto Rico (my home country), and from of course, here in the US. It's not very often that you meet such a great group of people. Thanks to all of you, those who were able to attend and enjoy the good food and those weren't able to attend but still wished me a happy birthday.

I can't forget to thank my family too! Although they are very far away, they also conspired to get me something I've been wanting for some time: a Nintendo DS! It seems like I will be having a fun summer.
