Birthdays
June 5, 2007

So, tomorrow is my birthday - one more annual reminder of my mortality.

Birthdays are great when you're a kid: funny toys, cake, party hats, ponies...wait a second - that was the porn video I was watching the other day.

Where was I?  Oh yeah: birthdays.

When you're 12 or under, all you want for your birthday is a party with all your best friends so you can play with the boys and girls.

When you're 13 to 15, all you want for your birthday is a copy of a Playboy with all those hot girls!

When you're 16 to 21, all you want for your birthday is the girl you saw in that Playboy!

When you're 22 to 35, all you want is to be a playboy.

When you're 35 to 70, all you want is to play with your own girls and boys.

When you're 71 and older, all you want for your birthday is to still have enough sense to remember which one you are: the girl or the boy.
