I am "nobody"

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Just turned 41 today. And not liking it one bit. Defiant.

Here's to solitude, trouble and getting the fuck off my lawn.

(Maybe its a Canadian thing)

9. I felt that.

No. Just kidding I'm too drunk to actually feel falling down. Thanks though, when I bring my brand of indestructibleness through AZ I'll be ringing your door bell. Buckle up bro.

[Kali]

11. meh, you are just a pup still

happy happy! (mine's tomorrow, ain't saying the #)

[Joe Shlabotnik]

13. happy birthday to you too

need some ranch hands? I'll fore-go my health care coverage for the opportunity of an honest day's work for an honest day's pay (and yes I can ride a horse,................. or a mule, ............. or an alpaca??........... or a chupucabra !???............. but that might take some 'splainin' !?)

[Kali]

15. oh hell I can't afford a dishonest day's pay!

I'm trading beef for labor now as it is

I wasn't the one in AZ that won the powerball, I can sure tell ya that!

[Joe Shlabotnik]

16. Beef for pay sounds fair to me n/t

[ashling]

12. Happy Birthday

young fella'

[Joe Shlabotnik]

14. well thanks Ashling,

BTW I used to be a photographer, back in the days of darkrooms. The Pics you often post really inspire me to move foreward. I just got a Cannon Rebel as a gift, maybe I'lll start contributing to the photography forum soon. (The old stuff is too crazy for DU standards)... but I look forward to future urban exploring and the visual goodies that, that yields.

19. awwww thanks

My kitty 'Louis' appreciated it, (he's pretty spoiled). Wish me luck for a job though. A meaningful job: where I can go to work at a place that doesn't make other peoples lives worse. (I just applied for a job today at wind-turbine co.: wish me luck!!!!!!!)

[In_The_Wind]

21. Good Vibes, Good Luck .........

The wind energy projects have added many jobs to our economy.

[Joe Shlabotnik]

22. +1

good for you and your community! (continued vibes) Lets hope its contagious. (though I'm not getting my hopes up.... unemployment around the rust belt of Ontario is pretty high). But who knows maybe for once, this job will be mine.

[fizzgig]

18. happy birthday

and killer movie

[Joe Shlabotnik]

20. Thanks Fizzgig, and yes.

I don't know how Hollywood managed to gloss over that one when creating the Johnny Depp star machine. (Personally I feel a real connection to that movie for inexplainable reasons).

23. Some are born to sweet delight..

... and some to endless night. Fortunately most of us have season of each.

I had to go watch that again, a big fan of Jim Jarmusch I am.

And don't worry so much about growing older. It's better than the alternative.

[Joe Shlabotnik]

24. With this hangover...

The Doors first album will go over good. Thanks for the idea!

(Too bad its Tylenol 3's instead of acid I'm having for breakfast.)
