Happy Birthday Ron, alias the Rat. On February 11th, 59 years ago the rat bastard was born. He came in to this world screaming, crying, and complaining. The rat has showed no signs of stopping yet. He whines continuously, complains incessantly, and snarls constantly. He’s egotistical, arrogant, temperamental, narcissistic, and vulgar. He’s also brilliant, passionate, caring, sensitive, perceptive, insightful, artistic, and imaginative. He can verbally eviscerate you in one sentence. Yet he’s extremely devoted and protective to those he cares for. To say he’s a very complex man would be an understatement. He’s hard to get close to, but if he lets you, it’s a very rewarding experience. I highly recommend it. Despite all his faults, I love him dearly, I have to, we share some common ancestors.
