Happy Birthday Mij

(Written before the day in question, the West Coast office recognized the celebrated birth of the Mij, on this his apparent favorite day of the year 3/11)
GLENDALE, CA (YIFTM) - Well, the 19th of February has once again graced us with its presence, and as the Earth makes its 50th rotation of the year, we celebrate the birth of one individual known only as, The Mij.

The Mij is, without hesitation, a master of his trade. You’ve no doubt felt the presence of The Mij and were completely unaware.

Like the lingering odor of burnt cheese, or the overpowering aroma of bacon grease, the presence of The Mij is distinct and well known, not to mention forever welcome.

As one of the smartest people I know, and since our initial introduction, known as The Batting Glove Incident, I’ve looked up to The Mij. After all it was The Mij who turned me onto The Beastie Boys, Operation Ivy, Rocket From the Crypt, Rage Against the Machine, and countless, countless others. And the plethora of bands that have spawned from those previously mentioned are far too many for any individual not a master of mathematics to fathom.

I guess my point is simple, lame and honest: Thank you Mij! Thank you for being The Mij and for your friendship. You’ve influenced me in more ways that I’m willing to admit at the moment, and I’m forever grateful for having you as my friend. West coast well wishes as you celebrate your 28th year of life. Enjoy your newfound territory, Charles and I will be meeting you shortly.

Just for fun we here at Yeah, I Figured offer the following and arguably disturbing photo for all to enjoy and analyze over a hot cup of java:

For the record, this article was written BEFORE the day in question. It was my understanding that this article was read on the night of the Bucho's, but I'm just finding out tonight that spoken words were empty tones.

The cornerstone of any unhealthy relationship...why should ours be any different.

JDot said...

I'm a fool for thinking it should.

I wouldn't say that....you're just a fool period.

Spoken like a true friend.

Thanks dude! Can I request you put the photo up of me w/ the suitcase? And in front of the Firebird? I like those - not these photos - I hate myself.
