I ain&#8217;t one who celebrate birthdays but how can one resist a beer session on his birthday? \ud83d\ude00 Oh &#8230; I guess I still ain&#8217;t drunk to announce that there will be a cool film from Impossible Project coming real soon!

Honestly &#8230; all I can feel today (or at the thought of turning 40) was &#8230; a title copied from an Oasis&#8217;s DVD &#8230; &#8220;Lord don&#8217;t slow me down&#8221;. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Anyway &#8230; enough of that crap. My colleagues bought me a super yummy lunch at an Indian restaurant today as well as giving me a super surprise present! Hahahah! Something that got me really surprised and yet &#8230; worried at the same time. They bought me 4 bottles of beer!!!! One was in the fridge &#8230; all chilled to go &#8230; and they even planned to get someone bring the bottle cap opener!!! Damn! Cool!!! Hahaha! I downed a bottle of it before I left office and burped all the way home!
