today at 2:20 i will be 28 years old. that's not too far off from 30, and while that is scary, it is also humbling. i have come pretty far in this little world of mine, and i will be going a lot farther. i forget, quite often, to breathe and live. maybe it's just the celebration of life that is supposed to happen on one's birthday, that is making me feel this way. the 19th certainly snuck up on me this year, i was ill-prepared, but i'm ok now.
maybe it's the movies i've been watching, they make me feel... ready to run, play, put my bare feet in some grass and dip my head in a river. there is no doubt that i belong somewhere green. i feel green, new and young, and like there is SO MUCH. so much to do and say and think about and learn. so many places to see, people to meet, animals to play with, songs to hear, so much life to live.
i love my friends, sosososososososo hugely. they put up with a phenomenal amount shit from me.
"come on down to the mermaid cafe and i will buy you a bottle of wine. we'll laugh and toast to nothing and smash our empty glasses down. let's have a round for these freaks and these soldiers, a round for these friends of mine. let's have another round for the bright red devil who keeps me in this tourist town."
