You know what?
Today (Jan. 5) is Diane Keaton’s birthday. Wow. Can you believe that? Annie Hall is 62 years old. Mind blowing. It’s also Robert Duvall’s birthday and George Tenet’s and… well, today’s kind a not so interesting day for birthdays, isn’t it? But you know what interests me more than people who were born today? People who were born yesterday… like our very own Peanut St. Cosmo!
Peanut, Peanut, Peanut. I held off on saying anything yesterday so you’d think we just weren’t going to say anything, but… well, we are. We hope you had a tremendously wonderful day and while you know that everyone here at Counterforce loves you, what you don’t realize is that…
THE INTERNET LOVES YOU TOO!
Oh, it so does. And that’s why I’m going to share a few of it’s majestic presents with you. I hope you enjoy them. 
1. Guys and Dolls.
This fascinatingly sad and tragic documentary about guys out there who are in love with real dolls. You saw Lars And The Real Girl, right? That kind of thing. Once you enter the world of Davecat and others like him… well, there’s no turning back. Also, speaking of Ryan Gosling, here’s the first single from his band (I actually kind of dig this song).
2. Breastfeeding!
A woman who’s still breastfeeding her kids at 8 years old. Enough said? How about: “I remember it tasting really, really sweet. Better anything in the world. Better than mango, even!” Wow. Good times, right?
3. Jake Ryan.
Gay. Sorry to break it to you. And except for his hair, total Prince Caspian. Not only did he come out of the closet not too long ago (he outed himself via a fucking Facebook status update), but he was also an investment banker. Now he’s broke as shit.
4. Childbirth orgasms.
Exactly what it says on the tin. The world is an amazing and scary place and wondrous in it’s combination of the two, am I right?
5. Adventures!
May you have so many of them in your life that you’re absolutely sick to death of them. And then you can start writing really awesome and dirty books about your life and all your adventures and the rest of us can live vicariously through your adventures. I mean, more than we already do.
6. Ryan Adams.
Just for you, Peanut. Personally my general feeling on Ryan Adams is ehhhh at best, but my opinion of his music is somewhat higher than that. He strikes me as somebody’s dorky little brother who probably masturbates too much and thinks hobo chic and Bob Dylan are things to aspire to in the here and now, but what I think of him doesn’t matter. What matters is that you like him and I know you have good taste in music.
Once again…
Happy birthday, Peanut!
I’ll let Peanut post her own email address if she feels like it so you can send her private birthday wishes and inquire about the paypal account by which you can show your love for her monetarily, but feel free to start wishing her well right here. (I could tell you Peanut’s age here in a “Happy XXth birthday, Peanut!” sort of way, but to paraphrase Robert Frost, a smart man and a diplomat remembers a woman’s birthday, but never her age.)

omg! you’re awesome marco! that’s so rad…i didn’t know ryan gosling had a band?? and jake ryan isn’t gay, he’s just jerks off to asian girls with implants way too big for their tiny frames and dress in hello kitty school girl outfits. p.s. annie hall was great too.
How sweet of you! I mean, in a totally twisted way. Happy birthday, Peanut!
thanks lollipop! oh man, i forgot to tell you that ryan adams song is one of my most favoritest…and i somehow think you read my mind and knew that. there’s a website, can’t remember if it’s that hipsterrunoff one or another one that calls guys ryan adams altbags. it’s pretty funny as he really did work up that look. but only he can make it look so yummy
