Saturday,
Oct. 27,
1984,
at 9:10 pm,
in Montgomery,
Alabama,
I was born.
According to my mama,
she went into labor on Thursday morning,
BUT
I didn't come out until Saturday night.
52 WHOLE hours.
I wonder if that's why i'm such an ass....?
ANYWAY,
she said when I came out that she was asked if she wanted to see me,
and she declined.
Hell,
she ain't even know I was a boy.
THEN,
how bout,
when she sent me to get circumcised (yea, no turtleneck over here),
she heard me screaming all the way down the hall.
Many consider today to be my golden birthday and all,
cuz i'm turning 27 on the 27th.
To me,
I'm just thankful for another year of life,
breath,
and experiences.
They say that the greats perish on their 27th year,
BUT,
I'll be seeing 27 more,
and so on.
(cues up Stevie Wonder)
