i've been to
three
birthday parties
in
my
lifetime
i've helped a friend or two
celebrate
their birthday
at a local bar.
but,
i, myself
have
never
had
a
birthday party.
i consider
my
birthday
to be a day
of
private contemplation
not
to be shared
with
anyone
other than
myself
i don't decry
the
birthday party.
it's just that
i prefer
to
be
mostly alone
on that
one
particular day.
so,
go ahead
celebrate
your
birthday
in grand fashion!
hell,
i'll
even
wish you
a
happy birthday.
