all eyes on the calendar
another year i claim of total indifference
to here the days pile up
with decisions to be made
i'm sure all of them were wrong
into this song, i send myself
and with these drinks i plan to collapse and forget
this wasted year
these wasted years

Feb. 15 / Happy Birthday to Me - Bright Eyes

Only 24 hours older than I was this time last night and only 8 hours more than I was when I was staring at the computer screen at work, but now that it is officially that day on the calender it means something.

No big plans for the big day or anything. My mom and sister are taking me to an all-you-can-eat vegan buffet so that is cool. It will be a little bittersweet in a way since it will be the last time we hang out before I get the hell out of Dodge and go hide my head under the covers in some other part of the state.

I decided to be sort of nestolgic and listen to some of my dad's old vinyl. It is funny how you take how good some things are for granted just because you knew about them as long as you can remember remembering. The Beatles are still amazing and in particular The White Album .

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life you were only waiting for this moment to arise

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life you were only waiting for this moment to be free
