Older Me

It's March.  Bugger.  Goal again for the year to not become a miserable, moaning sulk by the end of it.  Prognosis isn't good however.

For someone who is uncomfortable in life in general (almost) birthdays must be a total pain in the arse.  Correct me if I'm wrong.  I never feel that kindness or courtesy toward me is deserved so when the old bday rolls around its immediately a day where people are forced to be nice to you and you have to pretend that its unusual.  Cards with classic convertibles or motorbikes that look like bloody three piece suites on wheels.  Email offers exclusively for you and the other thousands of you who happen to be born on the same day because these companies who've mined your data think you have no concept of statistics or big numbers.  No I don't ned a penis enhancement pump, I'm perfectly happy with the one I have (sorry its Tim Minchin's bit, but read the blog title).

So You (whoever might be reading) will probably find my mood declining as the month wears on.  It's a nice, steady and sustained drop in happiness that lasts all month due to my birthday being at the end. Hurrah.

Uncomfortably Me

It's difficult to not begin a post with "I", very difficult.  It's my blog surely I should be able to start it however the hell I want.  Herein lies the problem, when I say "the" it should read "my" problem.  The issue is quite simple and the reason I blog in the first place.  My blog is written by someone who still isn't comfortable in his own skin.  Someone asked me at work what my blog was about? I had no idea it needed some kind of meta narrative (it worked for Seinfeld, but I never found it funny).  My blog is the distillation of a small amount of ramblings that rattle around in my head and then are vomited onto the page via keyboard and are framed in the views of a person who struggles to feel comfortable in almost all aspects (there are one or two which don't apply) of my life.

There, sure that makes for a great plug to increase readership.  Happy that nobody has commented yet.
