for whom the bell tolls a.k.a my birthday cometh
12 Feb

At midnight tonight, I take the final step that crosses the bridge over the great divide. I’ll officially be in my late twenties. Oh how the years fly.
The Rogue King turns 26 on February, Friday the 13th! How cool is that? And if you divide 26 by Feb(2), you get Thirteen (this friday)! Even cooler!
Me thinks this year is going to be especially blessed! Oh yeah baby! And the next 25 years? Supercoolawesomemajorlyradicalinasuperfunkyway!
Whatchu say Abba? Awesome, right right? YEAH!
Oh, The Dark Knight is away brooding, as usual, something about unresolved villains from the past 25 years. He says hello though.
Now.
Interesting bits of trivia:
1. My dad wasn’t too sure if I was born on the 13th of Feb or 15th of March. All he knew was that it was the Ides of one of them. I settled for Feb, because I liked number 13. For all I know, I could still be 25. Who cares?
2. Thirteen was once my favourite number, especially when I discovered everyone else thinks it’s superstitious.
I wonder how both those facts have affected my life in general. Not enough to spend sleepless nights over, I warrant.
[ Wikipedia ]: The term ides was used for the 15th day of the months of March, May, July, and October, and the 13th day of the other eight months.
And now to get wasted.

As for the offtopic…i agree people will never forget how you made them feel..
Thank you, Ugandan Girl!
The Rogue King is actually a 13th Warrior! how fascinating. It helps to like a day others find superstitiously scary, but for all I care..It’s the King’s birthday!! Hurray…..
Hurray! Thank you, Safyre!
happy next 25 years bro. And take it from me, these next five years can make all the difference. I’m just about to finish mine and i can say, i wish i’d used them better. No bollocks. The red dawn awaits you.
Thanks bro. And you should have no regrets. If they’d gone as you’d planned I doubt you’d have the beautiful wife you do now.
Enjoy it.
Forth Eorlingas.
that is very cool…too cool for coincidence…
your cynical sarcastic and witty personality suits you being a 13th baby…
Thank you, Miss. And it ain’t cool, it’s way beyond awesome!
