bumping birthday uglys


Hey kids it's been awhile huh?  Well a lot has happened since my last post and I'm sorry, but I have been busy.  On the eve of our presidential election I feel I must endorse a candidate.   I usually don't side with the two major political parties, but I back Barack Obama for the simple reason that he could switch things up.  Things in this country haven't really changed for a long time, because they haven't needed to; we have had a pretty good run for as long as I can remember.  Now things are getting shitty and a fresh vision could be what we need. On the other hand life could get a lot worse, but ya know that's something that I personally would embrace.  I have heard the candidates seen the debates, and think that Obama is pushing a socialist agenda that with this economy could work.  I also think he would strengthen our international ties, and focus on the things that matter most to most people; like health care, employment, and education. Plus he is well read and didn't serve in any of our armed forces.  Not that there is anything wrong with serving but I don't think an other macho asshole hell bent on controlling the world helps the fine folks of the United States of America. And that's all I have to say about that.
Mr Funnn has turned 25 years old, who woulda thunk it?  Anyways I had a very strange birthday, for those who don't know I was borne on Halloween, and I wouldn't have it any other way.  But this particular Halloween was extraordinary, because I was working in Louisiana and I was alone.  I started drinking Markers Mark, and got a good drunk on then preceded to buy some hallucinogens.  Then went to my favorite watering hole in Baton Rouge, The Station which luck would have was holding a costume block party. My only regret is not having a camera.  Although a camera would not have shone what I saw that night.  Try to imagine tripping in a wide open space with a whiskey drink in your hand at all times while being surrounded by about 500 other drunks dressed as everything from Gene Simmons in full KISS drag to about 25 different sexy Sarah Palins.  There were slutty referees and people that came as their facebook pages.  Seeing life sized bumble bees and the Big Lebowski was just what I needed to get me to 25.  The whole night was a success from what I can remember and I would happily do it all over.  Being alone wondering though a world of drunken characters, and really not giving a fuck about myself and just absorbing everything in was about the most calming and refreshing experience that I could have had to bring me to another year.  And has made me excited for what next.

That photo is almost as scary as the Frankenstein photo I have of you at age 17. You know which one.
