my birthday!!

"happy birthday to me;
cheesus crisp, i gotta pee;
my overactive bladder got the best of me;
mid-live crisis got the best of me;
today, i'm 47 you see;
happy birthday to me!"

wow! i made it! 47! i have been on this planet now 17,167 days, 412,008 hours, 24,720,480 minutes, 1,483,228,800 seconds and counting!!

the preceeding mathematical calculations were performed by counting on my fingers, multiplying by the number of bones i have, and adding up all the cigarettes that i have smoked!

I am not�retarded
I hurt�when someone i know dies
I love�cheese & mustard sandwiches
I hate incompetence & stupidity
I fear�injustice
I hope�i live to be 100 and be lucid
I hear�people who make sense
I crave�sleep
I regret�fucking up my life
I cry�very easily
I care�about people, places, and things that are important to me
I always�smoke when i have coffee!
I long to�have a family
I feel alone�yes i do
I listen�with my heart, then with my head and not with my ears!
I hide�my pain and depression
I drive� no more
I sing�just like elvis!
I dance�no, i dont dance
I write� in my journal
I breathe�in life
I play�pogo sometimes all day long
I miss�my kids and elvis desperately
I feel�tired and achy
I know�quite a bit!
I say� "go rest ya neck"
I search�for for stability
I learn�EVERYDAY!
I succeed�in staying sober
I fail�at relationships
I dream�in colour
I sleep�3 to 5 hours a day
I wonder�what would have happened if i was rasied right
I want�happiness
I worry�not as much as i used to
I have�a home
I give�to people in need when they deserve it
I fight�for liberty
I wait�to see what happens next
I need�happiness
I am�a nice guy, really, i am!
I think� too much sometimes
I can�t help the fact that�some people just can�t be helped! Or the fact that there will always be "bad" people and bad things happening in the world.
I stay�here because I want to
