If you had asked me what I would be doing on my birthday at this time last year I know I wouldn't have said "sitting in an Internet cafe' in Chicago" It's funny what 365 days can do.

This lyric reminded me of someone. It's from Pavement:
" Ice baby,
I saw your girlfriend and she was
eating her fingers like they're just another meal"
You know who you are.

This morning as I was leaving the hovel make my daily rounds I saw a man in the hallway. He was older, gray haired, skinny, wrinkled, with a slight glaze over his eyes. I walked past him and he turned around and said to me "I just can't drop everything, I'm busy" then he turned and walked away.
I love this town.

Back to this whole aging thing. Today is the anniversary of when I was cut out of my mother because I couldn't stand being in her body any longer. I was born 3 months early, the doctors were surprised that I lived. I was a tough little bastard even then.
