Year Older...
In about 24 hours, I'll be another year older.
Surreal. I can still remember the previous yr.'s (non) birthday as if it were yesterday. Strange. I remember last year's, and how shitty that experience was. This year's BDay seems to be a bit more chill-- less activity, less disappointment. Just a another day-- all to myself-- to spend it as I see fit. Probably an afternoon showing of Quantum of Solace, followed by who-knows-what.
I could probably go and get stupidly drunk, or get myself into some naughty trouble. The thing is, I just don't feel like it. And if anybody wants to send some cool BDay wishes, or even wanna hang out, just let me know. Otherwise, I'm outz!!
Yet, part of me kind yearns for those huge blow BDay parties I used to have as a kid; You know, the ones where your folks would invite all of aunts, uncles, grandparents and cousins-- full of cake, food and pinatas. I guess that's why I tried to carry that tradition into my own adult life, inviting as many "friends" as possible. Doesn't always pan out that way as I've learned the hard way.
Perhaps this is the year where I finally get to have an "adult" BDay-- where that child-like anticipation becomes a more pragmatic and realistic expectation. Its your BDay, go celebrate it. But,. its also just another day....
