Last night I was feeling very stressed. So I did what any sane person does under times of stress. I wrote my autobiography. At 3,070 words, it’s hardly an epic. It will probably not even be read, not even by the person it was written for.
A couple of posts back, I mentioned that it was my birthday. In between then and now, I have done many exciting things to celebrate. Here is a brief recount of said celebrations.
4th of November was spent in Hackney, watching that master of comedy, Ross Noble, Esq.. He truly is a genius, and it was a brilliant show. When we got there. The traffic in Watford was so bad I’m not going to even BEGIN to talk about it. It was a ghastly experience. Well worth the wait though. Thank you to Viki, Oli, Sam and my beloved mother for coming with me, I do believe we had a fantastic evening. And one thing to anyone who was there: A BUMFACED CHILD!!! BEING BUMMED IN THE FACE!!!
Second on the item was my birthday present from Viki. Tickets to see the one and only….
MUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And OH MY GOD they were good. So good I didnt even notice what they were playing, only that it sounded awesome. And that Matt Bellamy can make an hour and 40 minutes seem like 20 seconds. I didn’t want it to end. What made the evening perfect, though, was that i got to spend it with the one I love…
Finally, on Saturday I had a little party. Not many people that regular readers of this blog would know, but Viki, Becci, Cath, Sam and Rob were there and we ended up having a nice little evening, drinking wine and having a good old chat, during which the topic of mine and Viki’s marriage was mooted!!! A tad premature, methinks.
Overall, I did some really great things for my birthday. I’d like to thank everyone who came, they made those things what they were. I’d particularly like to thank Viki. Without her there, none of those things would have been half as good.
Take care yourselves

Whack out the champagne folks!!! The little demon got fucked!!!
What shocked me most though, was how tight it was in reality. And how long it took Rumsfeld to go. He should have been kicked out years ago. The funniest bit is to contrast Bush this week, to Bush last week. Last week: “Rumsfeld’s the man!!! WOOOOOO!!! GO DADDY’S FRIEND!!! 2 MORE YEARS OF PRE-EMPTIVE WARS!!!!” WOOOO!!!!”
This week: “Both me and Secretray Rumsfeld believe that a new direction is required in the Pentagon…”
Can anyone see a change of tack there, cos i sure can’t. Over 2,000 American Soldiers=Dead. Over 600,000 Iraq innocents=Dead. Over 100 British Soldiers=Dead. Bush and Blair still say this isn’t a failure. Are these guys some kind of fuckheads? Or have the boundaries of what constitutes a MASSIVE failure been changed? Did i miss a meeting? I mean seriously. It doesn’t take a genius to work out that that it’s a failure. More Iraqi CIVILIANS dead than American SOLDIERS died in World War Two… More Iraqi civilians died in this than American Soldiers in World War Two… Then again… The soldiers did have guns. Kind of an advantage in a war, if you do have a gun. May just even up the fight, just a little bit. Just a teeny weeny little bit.
“I was born William Melvin Hicks on December 16, 1961 in Valdosta, Georgia. Ugh. Melvin Hicks from Georgia. Yee Har! I already had gotten off to life on the wrong foot. I was always “awake,” I guess you’d say. Some part of me clamoring for new insights and new ways to make the world a better place.
All of this came out years down the line, in my multitude of creative interests that are the tools I now bring to the Party. Writing, acting, music, comedy. A deep love of literature and books. Thank God for all the artists who’ve helped me. I’d read these words and off I went – dreaming my own imaginative dreams. Exercising them at will, eventually to form bands, comedy, more bands, movies, anything creative. This is the coin of the realm I use in my words – Vision.
On June 16, 1993 I was diagnosed with having “liver cancer that had spread from the pancreas.” One of life’s weirdest and worst jokes imaginable. I’d been making such progress recently in my attitude, my career and realizing my dreams that it just stood me on my head for a while. “Why me!?” I would cry out, and “Why now!?”
Well, I know now there may never be any answers to those particular questions, but maybe in telling a little about myself, we can find some other answers to other questions. That might help our way down our own particular paths, towards realizing my dream of New Hope and New Happiness.
Amen
I left in love, in laughter, and in truth and wherever truth, love and laughter abide, I am there in spirit.”
Amen Brother
And i got things. But i had to go to school. Which was alrite actually. Mainly thanks to the cakes i got. I had one in politics (and a cup of tea!!!), one at break and the best was saved til last, the cake that viki made me!!! I haven’t eaten it yet, but it looks gorgeous. And i got me a new phone! It’s a K750i, which I am loving to the max.
Went out for a meal as well, with family and that. Had some tasty steak and a treacly tart. Shame the restaurant was cold. Thanks to everyone who gave me things, particulary viki for the cake and book and muse ticket!!! and the badge!!! and all the other stuff!!! and for being there.
Today (the day after my birthday, but caley’s birthday, so happy birthday her!) I got up and went up town to do beccis pschology experiment which was nice and fun. Then I went up town, cashed me birthday cheques and bought me some DVDs!!! I got “Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace” and “Sophie Scholl” which looks good and is about the leader of the White Rose Movement (not the band, the anti-nazi student movement).
Another big thank you for people who made my birthday good, particularky joely for calling and viki for the cake and presents.
