06/20 - Summer Solstice Saturday

He's from Texas, remember?

 

I'm all the way south, in Texas. People shoot guns off in the desert all the time. That doesn't change anything.

 

I really need to keep a little black book irl

 

Yeah...saw that. I'll just paypal my sister and she can jump across the state line and grab some and bring it for the 4th of July bbq

 

I think I'm gonna get off here. 18 minutes until it's my birthday and I have video games to play while my brain hard-resets my right hand to 10-key 37 as my age. And I'm already tipsy enough I completely lost the cigarette I rolled before I went to the bathroom. I'm searching for it like that raccoon that tried to wash a block of cotton candy.

 

Nevermind. Found it. I put it in my cigarette case, then my pocket.

 

happy early birthday

 

In...9 hours and 21 minutes, it will have been 37 years since I fatally died without a heartbeat (screw you Attention Checks!) I was actually pronounced dead without a heartbeat and my umbilical cord wrapped around my neck twice, born ass-first, blue, and no pain response.

I always message the requester with that little tidbit, and tell them of my friend who is a diving instructor in FL who has, indeed, been bitten TWICE by a Great White during cage dives.

 

No friends who walked on the moon, tho?

 

No. Though, my grandfather worked for Lockheed-Martin as their DOD Liaison in the early-mid 60's. My grandmother still has a very classified chunk of a certain ceramic tile that may or may not have been used on a thing called the Schpace Schtuttle and my granddaddy might possibly didn't ask for a small corner of a non-existent destroyed faulty tile from friends who were supposed to dispose of non-compliant materials.

 

Well, Happy Birthday then.

 

I was a diving instructor for many years and was NEVER even approached by a shark. Just lucky I guess ! ( or maybe I smell bad :} )
