Words of Advice: When you drop your sharpest kitchen knife while drying it off, do not be a dumb ass and try to catch it before it hits the floor. Just get the hell out of the way. If you are a dumb ass and try to catch it (Hi, there) be thankful when you don’t accidentally slice your finger off.
In other news, I almost always get a little depressed around my birthday. This year is no different. Perhaps a little different because of the surrounding circumstances, of course. I get a little down because there’s nothing that more obviously marks the passage of time (aside from the new year) than a birthday. And so that’s when I sit and reflect on changes in my life. Often things change in ways that I don’t want – which is clearly a no brainer this year. Usually its the same pattern of, “Oh, I wish I’d kept in better touch with so and so,” and not the extreme case of, “Oh, I wish that my best friend of the past eleven years hadn’t died.”
Anyway, I will do my best to have a Happy Birthday, though in all honestly I just want it to be like any other day at this point, and that’s good enough.
