“Well, birthdays are merely symbolic of how another year has gone by and how little we’ve grown. No matter how desperate we are that someday a better self will emerge, with each flicker of the candles on the cake we know it’s not to be; that for the rest of our sad, wretched, pathetic lives, this is who we are to the bitter end. Inevitably, irrevocably; happy birthday? No such thing.” 🙂 ---

Counting backward, I’m now … 57 :D) Hold on, I remember the rule I made for myself last year. Two years ago I turned 49. Last year I turned 37. This year I turned 8. Next year… 24? ---
