| Tomorrow is my 40th birthday. The way I figure it, that's about halfway, right? On the average, 80 is about the life expectancy (give or take a few years), so I should be taking stock of my life, what I've accomplished and likewise, what I haven't. But I'm not. Sure, I like to bitch about it and blame my lack of productivity on my age but the truth is, I don't really care. Birthdays were never a big thing in my family, which is odd considering that the relationships were very much notable due to age. My mother is 10 years older than my father and she had me when she was nearly 40, so very late in life and risky (the chances for Down Syndrome increase dramatically as those eggs get stale). My parent's reactions to birthdays were flavored by childhoods adrift in siblings and not a lot of money to celebrate. So even though I was an only child and finances had improved. The just weren't considered a big deal. And neither is this post. I've begun to bore myself and that's not good. Stacia says I'm in a writing rut because of the Mercury Retrograde. I really don't know what that means, but I'm always looking for something to blame my behavior on, so... ...why not tomato bacteria? The neighbors had a block party the other day and someone had a whole box of tomatoes. Didn't they take those off the shelves? They're so weird. Aw shit...I got nuthin'. Does anyone have a question? I'll answer anything. If I don't know the answer, I'll make it up. |

Fear of tomatos? Hmm, am I in a Kim Harrison novel? Wahoo, can I date Ivy? bite-bite
Yes. And, yes.

Harumpf. And I had this whole witty comment that I was going to post, but it wouldn't let me so nah. *stomp*
Let's see... the whole bday parties I've had... 5... um, 11... there we go. My sister had alot more. I was always screwed in the parties and 'new clothes' department. *grumble*
I have a question: Why is it always the most talented and attractive people who are Geminis? *ahem* It's my *coughcough* birthday very soon *cough*
I have a question for you:
Without looking, can you name every condiment in your fridge?
Stacia is right Mark, it will pas when Mercury goes direct. Till then stay away from those tomato's.
Happy birthday by the way!
Ah...Karen. A Challenge. Heinz Ketchup. Gulden's Brown Mustard. Vietnamese Sriracha. Low Carb Barbecue Sauce. Kikkoman's Soy Sauce and Teriyaki Sauce. Tabasco. Sweet Relish. Tiger Sauce (steak sauce). Mayonnaise. Nam Pla Thai Fish Sauce. Salsa Brava.
Um...I think that's it.
I don't know Karen (Kaz-Karen), It just seems to go that way. So sad for everyone else.
And nice try Anton. BTW: the fairer the skin the quicker to wrinkle!
Count me in for the blogging rut. I've decided to take the summer off and save a few brain cells hehe
Good luck!
PS Happy Birthday!!!! =)
Hey Mark, I'm just a few months behind you so I'll have to take notes on what bitches work best and such. Now for a few questions: Do you like gladitor movies? Have you ever been in a Turkish prison? Do you like it when Scraps rubs up and down on your leg? Inquiring minds want to know!
Amie- the whole summer? That's like cold turkey. Have you gone mad?
Pike - gladiators get the big thumbs down, though oddly enough I enjoyed Rome. I've also never been in a Turkish prison, though I suspect that's simply because I've yet to go to Turkey. Finally, there's nothing finer than a hot cup of blackberry sage tea while your hound is slamming his lipstick tube into your calf. A shitzu is always more relaxing than a shiatsu. Cheers!
Happy, Happy!
As for the blockage, try upping the fiber. I heard it does wonders for guys your age,
Happy Birthday Mark!
Sorry for the blockage...I'm sure that before you know it everything will be moving smoothly and regular.
"blackberry sage tea"
*claps* EEEE!!! I have the SAME favorite tea! OMG! *flips hair* It's like totally fate we're friends. I mean, totally... What brand do you get? The Republic of Tea from World Market? I so totally love that place.
(Someone help me! My inner blonde is trying to get out!!! Aieee....)
That's exactly the tea and that's exactly where I buy it. Weird.
Wow, Mark, way to load up on the condiments. And I'm impressed with your memory for an old guy. Heh. (Look who's talking *g*)
Karen - I'm ashamed to say, I totally forgot the array of salad dressings.
*hangs graying head*
That does it... next time we're finding a World Market and going shopping! They have to have at least one in Florida... :) We can be all sophisticated and sip while we discuss literature (ok, zombies, sex all while trying not to spew boiled water out our noses)... I'm still game.
