I Cannot Hide What I Am
I must be sad when I have cause and smile
at no man's jests, eat when I have stomach and wait
for no man's leisure, sleep when I am drowsy and
tend on no man's business, laugh when I am merry and
claw no man in his humour...
I had rather be a canker in a hedge than a rose in
his grace, and it better fits my blood to be
disdained of all than to fashion a carriage to rob
love from any: in this, though I cannot be said to
be a flattering honest man, it must not be denied
but I am a plain-dealing villain. I am trusted with
a muzzle and enfranchised with a clog; therefore I
have decreed not to sing in my cage. If I had my
mouth, I would bite; if I had my liberty, I would do
my liking: in the meantime let me be that I am and
seek not to alter me.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Happy birthday, happy, happy birthday! Happy birthday! Have a happy day!
Been to too many damned theme restaurants lately that sing that damn song. Sorry. But happy B-Day! Remember: Any calories consumed on your birthday in excess of your normal intake don't count, so eat lots, and lots of chocolate and cake and whatever else you want.
And don't stare too hard at LotR. The prettiness may make you go blind. :)
Thanks
