Dear Viewer, I was born, and on my birthdays, I used to be given things like language, pens, and paper to write my hopes upon. I used to be given paints, brushes, and canvases to smear my fears upon. | |
| Red, yellow, blue, and green confetti fall and stick to the fluid covered painting.Frames flash in color and black and white. Loaded dumpster appears between flashes. |
I used to be given trash, more trash, all the trash. I remember being unable to do anything with trash, so I started doing what anyone would do. | |
| Clips of party hats, Mylar balloons, party themed paper plates, and birthday candles flash in color and black and white. Loaded dumpster appears between flashes. |
I started buying party hats and Mylar balloons, confetti and little kazoos. I started buying paper plates and plastic forks. I started buying boxed cake mixes and frosting tubes, and with these things I do what anyone would do. | |
