Birthday Hat
Ok, so it’s my birthday more or less. No need to congratulate me for living this long without jumping off a building, or swallowing a pistol, I’m happy to still be here on our decaying planet, more or less. If you see me, buy me some wine or something.
I think I discovered what my epitaph should be:
ok, so I learned how to play “Smoke on the Water” on ukulele, I should probably go to sleep now
