Hello to all my anonymous friends. A real-life friend calls y'all my "make believe" friends, but I know you're as real as the 6 foot tall bunny that comes to work with me each day.
But I digress.
I wanted to start this post as a documentary of my 43rd birthday, which begins tonight at 12, midnight. I don't expect much to happen for the first 5 or so hours of my birthday, until I wake up. Although, I do remember the day when my ex once woke me up on my birthday, early in the morning, with some wild-ass rompin' in the hay. Ah, for the good old days, when I was married to that psychotic drug-addled b*tch, and things seemed somehow simpler. Just had to worry about making enough money to cover her trips to Wal-Mart, our occasional elicit drug buy (back in those days, I did some naughty things, it's true, but I'm clean as a whistle, now), and her outrageous birthday parties for the kids. Oh sure, there was that birthday night when she was driving the car, screaming at me, intentionally hitting the orange barrels on the side of the highway, and I promised myself that if I survived, I would never spend another birthday night with her...and I followed through on that, but hey, at least I was getting sexed on a regular basis up until then.
But I digress.
Let this post stand as a monument to August 19, 2004: a: just another effin' day. b: the worst birthday of my life (not likely...no orange barrels in sight) c: the greatest birthday of my life (unfortunately, not likely either) d: the day a pregnant traveler from the east came and gave me a big, sloppy birthday kiss (hey, hp, a guy can hope) e: some guy's 43rd birthday.
I will keep all of you updated as to my progress. First report from the actual day may not be until 9 or so, as my dear co-workers here at the guv-ment office of bureaucracy usually bring treats on people's birthdays. Of course, if W wakes me up at 1 a.m. by ridin' me hard and puttin' me away wet, I'll let you know, too. Still, I wouldn't be sitting around my pc waiting for updates until late morning, U.S. Central time.
Have a great afternoon-evening, all of my imaginary friends!
