Special Agent 0027

Today was my Dog Day. I turned 27. This is the age that many rockstars die; Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison to name a few. I went to work, went for a drink, came home, ate dinner, watched Coronation Street, hung out with Pearlie and we talked about whether or not my cold sore had healed yet. Very rock 'n' roll. But even if I don't die before my 28th birthday I still want to go to Hell. For one, it's warm there, and two, I heard there was a shortage of chairs in Heaven. Is it any wonder? All you have to do is repent and they let you in.

I know this sounds like just the sort of thing an old person would say but isn't it amazing how quickly the years just roll by? This is where I don't trust time, years fly by but at work the seconds drag forever. There's no point worrying about getting old though. I can see many advantages of aging; wisdom, OAP discount, the right to be grumpy, afternoon naps.

I've been thinking lately that I'd probably make a good spy. I'm very discreet and cunning. If anyone needs a spy just leave me a comment and tell me my mission. I'll take payment in kind, not that kind of kind, but I'd take payment in sweets, whiskey or tobacco.

I had not realised that 27 was the age for dying. This has not come as pleasant news to me, as I am 6 months older than you...my time is running out.

was lazy with my list and didn't include many other rockstars who died when they were 27. If you're going to Heaven though, bring you own chair!

Cheers Mikey, hopefully see you soon too. You did the hear the rumour going about that someone was turning 50 this year, right?

wisdom-not necessarily(might have spelt that wrongly), OAP discount-yes but admitting you're an OAP doesn't appeal, in my head i'm getting younger. No one has the right to be grumpy after 10 in the morning. Afternoon naps, yeeeees. xxxxx dad

grumpiness is highly overrated. I got another present from you. MGMT Yaaaaayyyyyy!! Mum got me an ipod too so I'll be able to listen to them wherever I go. Tonight is party night and the sun's shining. Good times ahead. I must've inherited a love of afternoon naps from you dad, along with my amazing taste in music!!

There should be another present arriving at some stage. How were your birthday celebrations this weekend? xxxxx

The birthday celebrations were good. I was still suffering today but I think Kerm's incessant birthday burley's caused more damage than the whiskey!
