party like a rock star.

"Happy Birthday" A phrase like that gets tossed around quite a bit on a day like today, but what does "Happy Birthday" really mean? Is there such a thing as a Happy Birthday? In reality, birthdays are merely symbolic of how another year's gone by and how little we've grown. No matter how desperate we are that someday a better self will emerge, with each flicker of the candles on the cake we know it's not to be. That for the rest of our sad, wretched, pathetic lives, this is who we are to the bitter end. Inevitably, irrevocably. Happy birthday? No such thing.
