90. I had to do some cyphering and I'm 61 years old.

Tue Mar 12, 2013, 08:38 PM

Mar 2013

I stopped giving a shit about how old I am around my
50th birthday.
It was around that time that I had a birthday cake with
50 candles in it and when they were lit, it looked like
a fracken forest fire; it set off the kitchen smoke alarm.
So now I don't keep track of that stuff.
I remember when I was around 8 years old, that my
birthday seemed to come around every 3 years or so.
Now my birthday comes around every 4 months and
I just don't care.
It's now like I'm in denial about it or anything like that.
It doesn't bother me at all that I'm an old fart who
does nothing but complain about how things are now and
how much better they used to be way back when.
Things are so crazy that if Barry Goldwater,
(Barry FUCKING Goldwater!!) were around today,
the tea party would be calling him a Liberal!
