happy birthday, sang!!! and all that you wish for.

thanks for the friendship throughout the years... yeah, we're getting old. :P

if i were more poetic i could write something allegorical about life and being brave, not following the rules, listening, learning, giving a damn. instead, just a picture... title: "driving backwards" :) [movie still from here]

-------- and, for the benefit of all, my birthday mix - i love it! --------
