Yes, today is my birthday. You can say "Happy Birthday" if you want, but it will probably be anything but that. Number one...it's cold. I mean it's F#@$%*# COLD! The temp this morning was -14 when I got up, so that kind of puts a little damper on celebration activities. There will be no ice fishing today. No thank you! This Arctic blast has been going on for about a week now, and I'm sick of it.
Secondly, well...there's all that other stuff going on. The significance of the B-Day is that I have managed to ingest another year of it. Tomorrow, the cup will start to fill again with my 40th year of shit, which I will Jonestown-like consume next January 22nd, all the while proclaiming myself wiser and stronger for having done the previous 39 doses. Unlike the Rev. Jones though..I have no followers. Not a SINGLE B-day card in the mail! It's like Molly Ringwald in 16 Candles...except there is no one to "forget"...there is just "no one".
Contrary to popular opinion, there is a bit of good news around here. Jefe is making the pilgrimage to my house this weekend for some wine and X-box. Should be fun. I have not tied on a good drunk in about 3 days, so I'm due.
I hope you had a nice birthday!
ReplyDeleteI love your survey but you shouldn't bother yourself with who reads the blog. Do it because you enjoy it. I've been blogging now for almost ten years and I have a total of about 5 readers, 1 of which is my mom. That number has actually decreased by about half since I declared my political affiliation. Even my mom stopped reading! So to heck on readers! Who needs 'em!
Happy Birthday!
