Happy Birthday



Well it was Billie Joe's birthday on Wednesday. He turned 38! To celebrate Jay & I went out for dinner and I had two Long Islands (which conveniently happened to be the evenings drink special at only $3.95!!) (wanted to have a few more but I had to work in the morning) in honor of the Reverend Strychnine Twitch from Foxboro Hot Tubs (aka Billie Joe Armstrong) and Lushotology. Huh? Here is a little explanation taken from the myspace page: "The controversial Church of Lushotology was established in 1981 by romance novel writer Hal Don Burre. Known mainly as the man that introduced Liza Minnelli to the Pet Shop Boys., he was intrigued on how non toxic human beings are. It is a planet filled with toxins and waste, so why not join it? He was lunching with famed artist Patrick Nagel when he ordered a drink. He had no idea what to order because all the liquors looked so yummy and delicious, so he told the bartender to just pour all the liquors into one glass, thus inventing the "Long Island Iced Tea." A drink that found the author, now an inventor and soon to be the pope of his new found Church "Lushotology." It was then in his drunk induced coma that he envisioned his Church and wrote the bestseller "Intoxication is Intoxicating", the Church's bible." So I hope Billie had a great birthday!
Tomorrow is Kurt Cobains Birthday. He would be turning 43. I still feel sad that he is gone but I can understand why he did what he did. I feel morbid myself just on the thought of turning 30 very soon. It feels like too soon. Me...30? Such a strange concept. So I think I'll just have a second 29th birthday in the unrealistic theory that it will somehow put off the inevitable until I can come to terms with it and somehow accept wrap my warped mind around it. Happy Birthday Guys...
