So it was my birthday yesterday and I received a lot of comments and questions. The most popular being “Happy Birthday, wit your old ass”, followed closely by “What are you doing for your birthday?”. This question got me to thinking about all of the wild ass times I’ve had on my birthday over the years and the varying degrees of success I’ve had celebrating them. I’ve got some memorable ones and some not-so-memorable ones. Not because any of them weren’t special, but because I was so drunking funk! I mean, 14 Hennessey shots is excessive on their own but follow them with some Long Islands and Incredible Hulks and you’ve got a recipe for disaster. Thank Allah I don’t get hangovers (knock on wood).

It’s kind of crazy how much pressure people put on having a balls-to-the-wall blowout for their birthday. Like if you don’t do the most outrageous thing ever, then you’ve wasted the whole last year. Man, I’m happy just to be here another year so celebrating doesn’t start on my birthday, it merely continues.  I know I’m talking like an old man but dammit, that’s just how I feel.

Well, for those that don’t agree and feel like they need to “do it big”, this song is for you. I know how you feel. I’ve been there. I just prefer to know why I woke up in my own bed, missing a shoe, wearing a “Kiss Me, I’m Irish” trucker hat with cake frosting smeared across my stomach. I’m just sayin…

We only use 100% gangsta candles around here!
