It’s almost enough to make me say goodbye, or at least run into these crowded streets and cry, “Freedom!” Yet, I do not want to let you down, lest we someday lie in our graves feeling the crush of wondering if all this was really the best of what’s around? I mean, what would you say if you missed someone’s birthday? Would you do a two step, as if you were a dancing Nancy stumbling around, tripping Billies as the band plays riffs reminiscent of a classic Jimi thing? If it is true that you pay for what you get, then like Rapunzel one may end up locked inside a watchtower, never able to see their lover lay down before them, their only company a stone and a spoon. Though, I do not think that will be your fate. You have the charm and soul to soar to the highest of heights, like a satellite in our eyes, where you can stay, wasting time like #41 in line at Disneyland, or a child on Halloween about to pig out on candy. I don’t know quite what to say, but I hope that for your birthday you climbed your dreaming tree and felt content that even if there is something you want that you’ve not got, what you need is all around you. And if you party too hearty and end up under a table and dreaming, just remember to take a Tylenol, check your fly, don’t drink the water, and make sure that your Pantala doesn’t naga your Pampa.
