I was born 29 years ago today
It is 2am and I am preparing my body for excesses it hasn't known since, well since a couple of days ago.
Your birthday is the day that you can have all to yourself and not feel gulity. It's the day you shouldn't pay for a drink, not a single fucking drink (hint hint to all coming to party ;) ) .
Today (and for the next couple of days) I will be king and all of you will be my subjects. Don't worry I am a fair king and will let my humble subjects bask in my glorious glowing glow.
Now for the other days during the year I'm some schmuck working my ass off to make someone else money and have maybe 2 hrs to myself tops during my workdays. My work governs my life, on duty and off. It tells me what I am allowed to consume and when to consume it. It controls every facet of my life, in turn, it gives me anallotment of currency that I am allowed to spend "freely".
The times we are allowed to have for pleasure and recreation or procreation are now being mixed in with the time we used to have to take care of menial tasks such as laundry and washing dishes.
Being creative and happy are now "fringe benefits" to life's contract. We eat standing up and work sitting down We have phones in bathrooms at our jobs and cameras watching our every move.

I started out wet, covered in blood and screaming, not unlike south east Asia tonight.
Now I am dry, not smothered in anything at this hour and very quiet. Much like this part of the world tonight.
Sorry, thats the most profound I can get at this hour.

Hey Now!
I already claimed the role of benevolent despot, ruling a nation of happy,creative and neurotic drunks.
I'm making an expresso w/ Bailey's and toasting your next year.
I don't even know you, but that Bailey's been staring at me since x-mas.
Cheers,
Allan
