Happy 30th Birthday Garfield

There are a lot of people who have influenced my life and made the person that I am today. My family, my friends, my colleagues and many more have been instrumental in making me turn out just as I am today. However there is one other source, who has been as much of an inspiration to me as nearly all those listed above. This person helped shaped my moral fibre and my ethical landscape at a time when I was just finding my way in the world. My mantars on life, the universe and everything were moulded by this individual to such an extent that I do not think I would be half the man I am today, if I had not had that guiding light.

So who is this I hear you ask? If you've known me for any length of time (or had the intelligence to work out it's something to with the picture at the beginning of the blog post), then you will know that it can be only one person. And it's not even a person at that. Why, it's Garfield of course!!

What other coffee drinking, sleep loving, lasagne eating red head could it have been? And like so many others, the mighty feline is celebrating his 30th this year - and today no less!! So Happy Birthday Garfield. Have a mug of coffee, a slice of lasagne and a good old sleep from me (and just be glad that today isn't a Monday!)
