Pre-Birthday Blues

...so I've been in a slump the past couple of weeks and I think it's the annual pre-birthday blues. I think the whole "turning 30" thing is affecting me more than I know 'coz the blues hit me way earlier this year (usually it hits a couple of days before my birthday). Yes, yes, I know I have many blessings to count - but I choose to wallow for a little while damnit. It's 10:24am on a Monday and I want a long island iced tea and a pack of cigarettes.

On another note, some asshole ate their toast on my desk this morning and crumbed everywhere. MAN that pisses me off. But then again, everything is pissing me off at the moment. I stepped on the escalator last week and my foot was halfway on a step and when it moved I lost my balance. I got mad and kicked the escalator. Hahaha re-reading that, how gay does that sound? I digress. OK, time to take account of the past 30 years.
