Happy Birthday To Me: A Thoroughly Unoriginal Entry

"I know I can't refuse, and yet, I wish I could. Oh God if I agree what horrors wait for me..." - C. Daae, The Phantom of The Opera

"It's like the Fourth of July, except instead of fireworks you get me." - Palomba

Sometimes you just can't win.

Monday was that sort of day. No matter what I did it blew up in my face, but when it was over I was no worse for the wear, so what difference did any of it really make? I walked a thousand miles and ended up exactly where I started.

I haven't slept since...Saturday was it? I don't know, but there's very little chance that I'll be awake when the sun comes up this morning. I just don't have it in me right now.

I just watched Mystic River, I know this because I remember watching the opening credits and the closing credits, but I don't really remember watching anything of the movie just now. I was looking at the television and all, but at some point I stopped paying attention, and started thinking of something else.

What you ask?

I have no idea.

Mystic River is on again in an hour, maybe I'll watch it again and try to figure out what I was thinking about last time.

So yeah...this would seem like a complete waste of an entry, except it isn't.

See I've come further in this entry than in any entry I've ever written before. I may look like I'm standing in the exact same place as when I started, and I suppose I am.

Except now...well, now I'm a year older.
