sorry, but i'd like to be weird for a moment and reflect on my birth date. moreover, my birth month.
at this moment, and it could be the slight amount of wine i had significantly earlier, but i'm finding it weird to consider the possibility of ever being born in any other month than august!
i was just on MySpace, the sort of waste your time website that everybody of my generation uses, and somebody posted a bulletin... now i never read the bulletins there, but for some reason i decided to check out this post. it was an outline of human characteristics by astrological signs.
i read mine (leo) and felt agreeable to the assessment. and then, since two of five of my nuclear family is cancer, i checked out cancer. which i felt i agreed with as well. less so, but nonetheless, i agreed that it was me. and then i started thinking about birth dates/months.
which is when i started thinking about "what if"... for example, what if i was born on my brother's birthday (July 3rd). whoa, it blew my mind. really. i was dumbfounded. WHO has a birthday so close to JUNE?! i mean, mine is close to July... but JUNE?! whoa. weird.
something just strikes me as odd when i ponder the idea of being born in any other month (or astrological sign, i guess) other than August. as if it's not my place. i don't think i'd be me if i hadn't been born when i was born. i'd be a whole different "Iain" (or "Ian", if you will).
yeah, i suppose, even though the wine is well digested by now, it is still the wine talking. yeesh.
