a prime number no more
Dec 15, 2009It’s me birthday! Tomorrow! Or in a few houruhs!
I am turning 14. I’m a little bit excited. Unforch (– grossest sounding bastardized english word) it is on a weekday, so I must attend school. But I don’t know, that might be fun if I get enough sleep and don’t feel like making strange noises to everybody that talks to me. I’ll also be playing the Letters to Santa benefit at Second City, which we (band) have been playing since.. 2004? I think this is our sixth time. Anyway you should come to it if you live in Chicago because there will be a. music b. drunk/slaphappy comedians and c. opportunities to help needy families. So by obvious logical deduction, if you don’t come, you’re bad. *staredown*
Because we’ll be so busy tomorrow with learning and music-ing my parents gave me THE GIFT yesterday. It encompasses Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanza, Jul, Winter, Spring, Mars, Jupiter, The Beatles, Bacon, and my birthday; and it is awesome.
A Canon EOS Rebel T1i. I was so so so happy and thankful to receive this photographical machine. I’ve already almost lost the lens cap like fifty squillion times.
I don’t know if you remember my friend, Jewducka.

I really should go to sleep now to avoid said phenomenon. Thanks all.
That video is frightening.
And Hayden (the farmer right?) looks like he doesn’t know the words.
And HAPPY ALMOST BIRTHDAY!
My captcha says “year-ago.” Howsabout, YEAR-AGO YOU EMAILED ME AND WE BECAME BUDS?
Awesomeness!
You are going to have so much fun with that camera! I can’t wait to see your photos and creativity on this blog.
Hey! Happy 26 minutes early birthday! 14, good times……..have fun with the Canon, I have a Canon Rebel EOS XTi and I be lovin’ it. < lulz
Good luck at the show! Wish I were near Chicago, great city, but I am here in Kentucky…..far far away……..cya!
Happy Birthday! Have fun with the Canon! Which lens did you get? If you don’t have one, get a 50mm f/1.8 (or borrow one). It’s one of the best lenses ever made.
Happy Birthday (no longer almost now)! Excellent first results with the new “toy”.
Have much fun at “Letters to Santa”. It’s really commendable that you are so devoted to social issues.
Happy Birthday, Spencer!!!!
Don’t moderate your creativity, your new ‘toy’ seems awesome!
Happy 14th!
Hope you got sleep enough to have a great day!
Happy birthday!
Alas, I do not live in Chicago. If I did, though, I’d definitely go to the Letters to Santa benefit.
Happy Birthday. I didn’t realize yours was the same day as mine. I don’t remember my 14th very well, but I do remember mine the year you were born. I had a little too much tequila that night. Moving on…
We share it with Beethoven and, according to Morning Edition on my way to work this morning, The Boston Tea Party. So endeth today’s history lesson…
Happy birthday!
I love your blog, its amazing, so keep writing dude ;) Btw, your supersuper cute too!
Happy birthday! I have the same camera, and it’s terrific.
Happy happy Birthday Spencer!
What time do you guys rock the house? I will try to get out of work….. If I dont make it there tear the roof off the sucker!!!! Hope your day is extra special! :)
Happy Birthday, Spencer! I know you will love the camera and that you will put it to excellent use. Think about painting the lens cap bright orange or something, eh.

happy birthday spencer! i saw you play on your birthday last year at the wilco/neil young show. i sang. your welcome. have a good one!
Wow, 14!!! Well Spencer, I’ll spare you all the ‘omigod, I remember when you were a little guy, on your dad’s shoulders at shows like Sheryl Crow” etc, which I’m sure can be surpassed by all the babysitters ;-) in our circle of friends. Camera is perfect for you, have a great one, you make me laugh hard and loud :-) I wish you were doing SOMETHING musical when I’m actually in Chicago from Christmas through Jan 9!
meloves teh manual focus.
Happy Birthday to my favorite teenaged nephew!! Coolest camera ever, those pix are amazing. How did you become such a good photographer? Look forward to seeing many more (be sure to take lots before I steal the camera).
Can’t wait to see you in two weeks!
Best wishes on your Birthday!
This camera looks perfect for you and it´s amazing.Let us to see your pics from time to time!
Congratz Spencer, yay for the camera!
happy birthday! and many more
Happy day of birth, Spencer!
You are quite the charming and handsome young man (from what I can tell from your writings). I can’t believe how eloquent you are for your age! When I was 14 (only two yrs ago ha) I was nowhere near as intelligent as you.
Have an amazing day dude.
Happy 14th! I still have to wait till May 19th to be 14. Blah.
And I want that camera. *-*
You’re top notch, kid. Pretty exciting stuff!
From a broad who still thinks it’s inappropriate despite how much she enjoys the read, to comment publicly on what in my day would have been considered a nice young man’s “daily diary”, I will go against my better instincts on this occasion by wishing you many happy returns!
14, huh? Your Future Is Wide Open.
Exciting stuff indeed.
Happy 14th, Spencer! Congrats on the awesome camera! :^) I hope your birthday is a memorable one.
Hope you had an amazing birthday :-D
Happy Birthday Spencer!!!
And that is an incredibly cool gift for the holidays.
I got nothin’ else right now.
Happy belated Birthday, Spencer!
I hope you spent a wonderful day! And congrats on your new camera, amazing present!! Tell us all about your concert!
stop being a dork, it will serve your future . i still love it though, youre the best teenager ever. Your teens will hurt with girls named imogen, Willa or Margot. However you will still be great, as long as you are legit. I Love you Spencer Tweedy, but that is as an avid fan of Joy Division, The Cure, The Beatles (whatever you have against them, i have a large tattoo) Eric Clapton, Heart, Led Zepplin, Steve Winwood , and the BeeGee’s. you are wonderful, expand your musical horizon’s, the best thing my dad ever told me (he works for the Oregon Symphony) is that you can’t count out anybody out for their genre, you have to give them a Chance. Some of the best music ever was music we last expected. Give “Bohemian Rhapsody’ a try and let us know how that settles. Try The Smith’s This Charming Man, Then We can Talk. You Are Great.
Happy birthday! Looks like an awesome gift – that’s the exact camera I want, and I hope to be able to get it soon.
I’m late.
But Happy Birthday and merry holidays from Holland.
Happy B-Day a day or so late! Try Ed Debevic’s for a most unusual birthday song . . . especially from the guy with the duck floatee!
woot woot my birthday is almost in a few days as well….ahhh! anyways, happy almost b-day dude.
I am a 26 year old lady that lives in Manhattan. Just stumbled across your blog and I am so utterly in awe of your sophistication, artistic/musical talent, and way-beyond-your-age humor. Happy birthday, young man. I will continue to check in here from time to time and feel a little less worried and scared about the future because of you…
What she said^
and p.s. You’re a stunner.
Nice camera/pics I’m soooooo jealous!! And yeah ain’t squillion the best word ever? Best when paired with elevendy.
Xoxoxoxoxo
Happy Hanubirthday!
Congratulations! Loved the camera, by the way – really good, maybe I’ll get one for Christmas for myself. *-*
Happy Belated Birthday Spencer!
You got an awesome camera. I remember when you were considering the XS but this is a MUCH better choice. Not to mention you have video recording on this thing, which makes it 100 times cooler than mine. Have fun!!
