Birthday Wishes
A really sweet person asked me via email what I wanted for my birthday, which is a really difficult question. I have most everything I need of a material nature...but I guess we always want more don't we? But realistically...I've always been a utilitarian, getting things only as I need them. Last year was the first time I had ever had a birthday party (which in itself was a really interesting time), and I'm not sure how to top that. So what does a gay stand up comic want?
Patrick's wish list
- For CJ to get better!
- Brad Pitt, Colin Farrel, Tom Cruise, and Johnny Depp hot oil wrestling to see who gets to use me as a clean up towel. (I say shoot for the stars and you just may get the moon)
- Hope...hope that the economy turns around and I get a "real" job, hope that a marriage amendment doesn't pass, hope that both the California, New Mexico, and Massachutes weddings withstand the legal battles.
- An apology from the person who treated me very badly this last year. Most everyone knows who it is, and know that I have a better chance of getting the oil wrestling event to happen (WHICH IS A PERFECT CONSOLATION PRIZE).
- Health Insurance without having to drink the chocolate shake of hell. (see prior post)
- A real birthday cake. I've never had one. With my name on it and candles melting the damn thing.
- A clothing rack for my walk-in closet would be nice.
- An extremely romantic evening with someone special
- Someone special...should these two be reversed?
- A bowling ball might be nice.
- Bowling shoes.
- An instructional book on artist painting techniques with additional supplies. (Paint and canvas ain't cheap!)
- A comedy booking in Portland so I can meet this talented actor and sketch comedian
- A cool logo for this website.
- and lastly...a good hair day so I can get my picture taken!
As for this following image, I thought is summed up the whole marriage situation in San Francisco well. Thanks Paul for letting me know of its existence.
