Another Year Older, Another Year….Older
Well, another birthday has come and gone. Nothing really exciting happened, which is somewhat disappointing. Every year that goes by, I always hope for some latent superpowers to develop. Some weird crick in my DNA, working on a 28-year time delay. But, try as I might, I could not levitate anything with my mind. Of course, there is the chance that I have developed superpowers already, I just don’t know what they are or how to use them. How do you use a muscle you have never used before? I still have no idea how I figured out to wiggle my ears.
However, I have been impressed with the outpouring of support and adulation that this edition of my birthday has brought forth. There’s pretty much no one I can make feel guilty for forgetting my birthday. Actually, it kind of reminds me of a birthday I had a number of years ago, when Yusuke secretly e-mailed a bunch of people telling them it was my birthday and that they should e-mail me to congratulate me. I was pleasantly surprised by the response, until one guy actually put in his e-mail “Yusuke told me to e-mail you”, which kinda broke the spell. And made me forever mistrustful.
Don’t think I’m not onto you.
