Happy 4/11 to all the crackheads, faggots, drunks, and other non-specific fuck ups who read my blog. Due to the fact that I dislike birthdays I decided that the day should simply be skipped and we would go from April 10th to the 12th so that I could bypass the aging process. However, pesky little laws of time and space prevented this plan from being realized. (Well, that and the fact that it was the only day I could get an appointment with a technician from my ISP. )
I may have no choice but to acknowledge the day, but that won't prevent me from living in a state of denial. So I have decided to forgo the celebration of being squeezed out of the womb and instead celebrate one more year of managing not to die. Then I realized that I sounded like a high school gothic poetry fag who wears all black to symbolize the despair in my soul. Not gonna fly- I have a white and beige dog and a soft spot for stimulants of the ivory hue. I would spend countless hours obsessing with a lint brush and my trench coat.
Maybe I needed to think about why I hate birthdays in order to come up with a way out of adding another candle to my cake. Hmm... well, let's see. First, I can't stand the fact that people who don't call you all year feel the need to call you up and spend 15 minutes on the phone faking that they are interested in what's going on in your life. I despise the stack of cards from your poverty stricken acquaintences with jokes about how old you are (no matter what age that is.) They're almost less funny than the ones with the hot naked man (or woman) on the front, a repulsive, obese, troll on the inside, and an predictable little pun informing you that the bearded lady is the only person who you could possible fuck. I resent the fact that you are expected to go out to breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, and ice cream with people and that it is necessary to threaten the life and well-being of every server you have to avoid the clapping screaming line of employees chanting a birthday cadence with disgusted looks or blank stares on their faces. I don't like the fact that your friends and family feel obligated to purchase you a gift even if they can't afford to... afterall you really didn't do anything to deserve the gift, did you? If anyone, they should buy your mother a gift - she had to push something the size of a watermelon out of her vagina and then tolerate it chewing her nipples raw, screaming all night, and shitting itself several times a day. I'd say she deserves at least a month's supply of valium as compensation. Finally, I hate the pie. Not a real pie... but the symbolic pie chart of life that represents how much of your time is gone. At 25 I envisioned the pie missing one fourth of itself, although that's a little unrealistic as few people live 100 years. I'm pretty certain I'm gonna kick the bucket at 35 but I don't have the spacial skills to formulate a pie that would accurately represent 35 years.... so I just stick to the 100 year pie. Anyways, a quarter of the pie wasn't terrible... but at 28 I am now unmistakably munching into the second piece and I can no longer hide my gluttony by trying to cut tiny slivers from the pie so that no one will notice I've been eating it. OK.... I got off on a tangent... back to the dilemma. It seems that I have a problem with all the focus on me when a birthday comes 'round.
That's it!! My way out... make the day NOT be about ME!
I will use the art distraction..... I'll divert the attention away from myself by creating another holiday! People always say it sucks to have your birthday fall on Christmas or Halloween because no one cares about your shitty party when there is presents or candy for THEMSELVES to be had. Easter moves around too much to be effective... I can't use that. It will need to be something sneaky and new, something universal that spans all walks of life... regardless of religion or race or who died that day.
*PONDER*...
*LIGHTBULB*...
Sometimes the answer is there all along... but you can't see the forest for the trees.
Ladies and gentlement, slags and fags, it is with great honor that I declare today, April 11,
World White Drugs and Butt Sex Appreciation Day. You may take both today AND tomorrow off of work as you will probably have a sore arsehole from all the WWDBSAD festivities. I guess we'll be needing some sort of symbol or mascot that is tied in with a legend explaining why we take this day each year to embrace chemically enhanced anal stimulation. I'll need some more time ... but check back before the clock strikes midnite and hopefully I'll have come up with something worthy... lest I be changed into a
glass crackpipe by some fairy.
Until next time...stay high!
