Get Some Young: David's Birthday

As far as birthday celebrations go, sitting in on a Saturday night to watch a four hour directors cut of Das Boot whilst the birthday boy fills his face with cake and heroin could only be the ideal choice for one man. And that man, of course, is David.

Now whilst he's not the sort of guy i'd want to plan my Wedding, or indeed (providing you've seen previous blog entries), even attend it, David's lack of extravagance in basically all aspects of his life is made up for by his fascinating ability to keep himself alive. I say this because despite the photographs below, which are an ostentatious display of him being in possession of coffee, heroin and cigarettes all at the same time (birthday money), I came home just the other day to find him frying flour mixed with water in a pan over the hob. And that was dinner.

Such swagger this broken-down machine of a man has. Flicking the V’s at Death whilst simultaneously living solely off the vitamins found in cigarettes and flour. It’s commendable in a backward sort of way. And my only regret is that photographs by themselves are incapable of conveying the full nature of this guy’s existence.
