Today is my 27th birthday.
I remember 16 so eloquently; yet remembering 16 reminds me that I couldn't even fathom what or who I'd be at 27. Funny how that works.
are you reelin' in the years, stowin' away the time
This birthday holds some superstitious importance to me: it's a 9 year marker in my life.
You see, every 9 years, someone I love dies. It was my Grammie at 9, my Pop-Pop (Grammie's husband) at 18, and this year is the next stop in this morbid tradition life has seemingly handed me.
I've been having reoccurring dreams for a little over a year that I'm going to die at 27. I'm not really sure how I feel about this.
On one hand, I'm a little, that's a lie, a lot curious about death. What happens? How does it feel? How's it going to end? It's the last great mystery, the ending to one hell of a suspenseful book that you only get to know and understand when you finally take that last breath. I'm excited.
On the other hand, I'm not ready and, truth be told, a little pissed because I feel like I've finally come out of the storm to a certain extent. Without regaling the atrocities of my life, let's just say it has been bad. I'm actually enjoying my life now, on my own terms, and am happy. Really happy.
it's been awhile since I've gone and fucked things up just like I always do
Birthdays are a tricky sort. I'm one year older, have another year behind me, one more notch on my life belt, and supposedly am one year wiser.
Sometimes I feel like I'm regressing; I used to be so serious about everything. I feel as though I am able to really recognize the importance of having silliness in my life now. Does this mean I'm becoming less mature? I don't know. Maybe there is wisdom in the recognition that life should not be taken so seriously.
screamed at the make believe, screamed at the sky, and you finally found all your courage to let it all go
I feel the years gaining speed. They're flying by at this immeasurable rate and it blows my mind when I sit and listen to older people tell me it only goes faster the older you get. I just know I'll turn around one day and 27 additional years will be added to my life.
inspired but tired, I run this wide-open course, like the sagging spirit of an older horse
Here I sit, 27 years past. Happy Birthday.
I'd like to think the best of me is still hiding up my sleeve

Monty's fine, I talked to him on Christmas. He's just been busy. From what I understand, there has been a significant uptick in both his work and social life.

You know, I think I can remember things from when I was 16 with much more clarity and detail than things from when I was 27. Maybe things were just shinier in the 80s.

I'm glad to hear other people find silliness important as they age. It just means we have less stress and the greater likelihood of enjoying ourselves. Probably means we'll outlive the rest of the miserable cunts of the world.

also, to regale usually means to provide entertainment with the narrative, song, joke, whatever. so it was a poor choice of words in that regard as well. unless we were to be amused by stories of your horrible childhood?

I see where you got that, though. Eloquence usually refers to speech, not memories. Specifically, it refers to an expression of ideas. You may argue it is possible to remember eloquently, but you are actually remembering clearly. The eloquence comes when you express those memories in some fashion.

well, he IS a contagious motherfucker, hadley. but who knew that was tranmsmittable?
you used it wrong HE. no shame in that, but trying to defend such a trivial mistake (especially against a guy like hadley.) just makes you seem silly.
ps, you also need to modify 'regaling.' it should read something like 'without regaling you with accounts of the atrocities...'
pps, there were also a few misplaced commas and at least one example of apostrophe abuse.
pps, happy birthday
