Some Dates you just dont keep.
There are the type of dates u cant wait to keep and the type of date you both know you'll never keep.
Today was one of them, a date with friends, but i refuse to spend another birthday at a meaningless party having another bottle shoved down my tilted head. And will instead spend some solo time on my bed reading Dave Eggers's You Shall Know Our Velocity
Wednesday, or rather thursday morning was the latter, but that was just guilt over my behavior, and the sort of thing you are expected to say. Besides, i'm a gentleman, but we both know its casual.
And then, there's Sunday, cant wait to go for Christmas service.
Happy Birthday to Me. =)
I am Odysseus, Laertes' son, world-famed
For stratagems: my name has reached the heavens.
Bright Ithaca is my home: it has a mountain,
Leaf-quivering Neriton, far visible.
Around are many islands, close to each other,
Doulichion and Same and wooded Zacynthos.
Ithaca itself lies low, furthest to sea
Towards dusk; the rest, apart, face dawn and sun.
Odyssey 9, 19-26 (trans. James Diggle)
