Well, birthdays are
merely symbolic of how another year's gone by and how little we've grown. No matter how desperate
we are that someday a better self will emerge, each flicker of the candles on the cake we know it's

bitter end. Inevitably, irrevocably. Happy birthday? No such thing.

"Your birthday?" said Pooh in great surprise.

"Presents?" said Pooh. "Birthday cake?" said Pooh. "Where?"
"Can't you see them?"

learns it or not.
It's not so bad if you think about it. It could've been worse. You have to remember that.
I'm sitting next to my special dog friend, Mr. Bo Jangles, who is actually a girl. But I gave her a boy's name, cuz I'm playing a trick on her.

Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed.
Oh, my friend, it's not what they take away from you that counts. It's what you do with
what you have left.
I can't complain, but sometimes I still do.
Men who never get carried away should be.
