.... so i wanted to let the world know ( not that the world cares or needs to ) . it's now just a number , and has been for a long time . long gone are the days when i used to take my birthday off work each year . long gone are the days when i thought of it as a compulsory sex day . birthdays , new year , christmas day should be compulsory sex days - i don't mean that if it's your birthday you can just walk up to whoever you like and expect some fun , although the idea has it's merits . i mean that if you were in a relationship that some days are more special days .for example , more special than getting soaked putting the bin out days and more special than than i've got you're dad over days .so that's my thoughts on it . probably be numb about having a birthday tomorrow when it arrives . ( mental note for next year , take time off and do something special ) .
