One Stray Word

Gonna party like it’s my birthday!

Gonna party like it’s my birthday!

I say this because it is my birthday today and I am going to party. I’ve got my action figures set up on the dining room table right now. Woot! As the kids these days say. Or something like that. I don’t know. What are the kids saying today?

So, I’m 27 years old today. I feel like I should be older. I don’t know why exactly. Maybe it has something to do with being married. Maybe it has something to do with having my own business. Maybe it has something to do with my wife and I trying to buy our first house together(BTW, on our fourth house to bid on. Any prayers in support of us getting this one would be greatly appreciated). Or maybe it’s because I have a single, solitary gray hair in my beard. One gray hair. What’s up with that? I’m not opposed to have gray hairs. But, come on. Just one? It just of looks ridiculous. I should have at least two.

I shall be honoring my time honored tradition of not doing any work today. It’s a fine tradition that I put into effect shortly after I moved out of my parents house seven years ago. Plus, this year I can do it and not use up any vacation time or sick time(not that I ever used sick time when I wasn’t sick and neither should you, kids! Lying is bad!). In fact, this column was written over the weekend just so that I didn’t have to worry about it today. And, as you can see in today’s comic, I didn’t even draw that.

I’ll be celebrating with my wonderful wife, her sister, brother-in-all, and two nieces. There will be dinner, cake and gifts. The rest of the day will probably be spent doing nothing and/or reading. Because I loves me some reading and it’s my birthday.

Of course, I won’t be doing much of anything tomorrow either, as I will be glued to my computer screen waiting to see if Apple finally releases its tablet. It’s a good thing I have such an awesome boss who doesn’t mind if I slack off every now and then.

Feel free to leave me birthday wishes in the comments or even become a fan of Rupert & Me on Facebook.
