haaaaappy birthday toooo meeeeeeeee! (or masturbatory celebratory post)

today (thurs) is my birthday. tomorrow (fri) is the full moon, and i'm taking the day off to go to the beach. i have a cupcake to eat for breakfast (cake for breakfast is a bday tradition in my world) and have leftovers from my favorite diner dinner to eat for lunch (and i didn't even have to pay for it!) today i got no less than ten - count 'em, ten - compliments on my shutter shades. (fav one - italian guy at eighth ave: "hey!!!! i like-a you glass!!!!!!)

happy birthday to you, kid...

another lap around the sun - run on your own terms.

(there is always a way to squint your eyes, warp your brain, so that you can see the positives. they're there, they're as real as shit... just as real as depression. true dat, yo!)

so maybe, if you have a second tomorrow, watch the clouds, pick up a leaf, scrutinize some graffiti art, think about what's important to you, or listen to the presets...

this is my life, darlings, and i'm happy to have it and happy to share it with you.
