Today, I had a life-changing experience - or, well, almost life-changing… Well, ok, not life-changing as in “Oh my God, I got an epic in World of Warcraft” life changing, but still life-changing…

Ok, you get the point, it was an interesting event.

Anyway, today my Mum and my girlfriend took me out to a lovely Japanese restaurant to celebrate my birthday. The meal was great, the service was top-notch, the cake was delicious (and with all the extra flabs I have on me, I know the difference between a good cake and a lousy one) - in short, it was the kind of dinner that makes you thankful to have such caring people by your side.

Then came the time for presents - and, since neither my Mum nor my girlfriend know what to get me (I’m a computer freak and they wouldn’t know the difference between a videocard and a floppy disk), they decided to just give me money instead.

That was awfully kind of them (it was a substantial amount of money - I’ll leave it at that), but it got me thinking - what the hell have I ever done for them?

I’m anything but the perfect son - and I’m definitely anything but the perfect boyfriend (keep the aforementioned flabs in mind shoudl you choose to dispute them).

So, I have to find a way to give back - to give back through caring and attention, yes, but to also through things such as vacations, Piaget watches (I made a promise to my girlfriend and I intend to keep it), cars, mansions, islands, space stations.

In short, if I ever needed another good reason to make a killing online, now I have it - to give back to the people who have never hesitated to bestow unto me.
