Well, it’s my birthday

Posted on September 7, 2010 by Lee

Managed to make it to another godless year. Although the news I received yesterday has put a funk on the rest of the year, I guess I shouldn’t allow it to ruin my birthday at least.

I doubt I’ll be getting any presents, I never expect any to begin with. Although I do have classes today; night classes no less. My little sister is making me a birthday cake. No telling when I’ll be available to go and pick it up though. I’ll probably sleep the whole day then get up and go to school. So I guess that’s a present to me, a very good one [I am getting Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock as a late birthday present]. I say that because, I’m finally in school and I feel I at least accomplished that much this year. Everything else I tried at crashed and burned – including relationships.

While I’m sitting here listening to Foo Fighters Greatest Hits, and typing this blog, I should be thinking of what I’m going to do today besides sleeping. You what? I’m going to clean up the house and work on my homework for English class. I could also begin to work on my math homework that is due in 4 weeks. I must say, college is nothing like high-school.

Anyway, I’m 23 today and everything is pretty much the same. I’m still an ass, I’m still in pain, and I’ve always felt way older than I really am. 7 years ago doctors told me I wasn’t going to make it to my 23rd birthday. Well here I am. Just 2 years ago I was in a car accident that almost knocked the right side of my body to the left. Just years before that in between I was in more car accidents that I should be alive to talk about.

I’m not a person who will probably never have their life flash before their eyes. I didn’t get out the car or off the ground and say, ‘Thank God I’m alive!”. I’m an Atheist for one and for two death is inevitable. If I don’t accomplish everything I didn’t set out to do before I die, it’s not gone matter when I’m dead.
