Went out and had a bad day

"The story of Pygmalion points to a ceremony of a sacred marriage in which the king wedded the image of Aphrodite, or rather of Astarte." Pg. 401

              This quote has nothing to do with my bad day but it does have to do with class on Tuesday I believe so it connects somehow. Anyway my bad day happened recently. Friday in fact. Friday was my birthday and so naturally I, along with some friends, decided to celebrate. So I guess this day could be considered a good day and a bad day all in one. I'm killing two birds with one stone here. So my birthday was awesome, I hung out with some friends and went out to dinner. Around Eight or Nine we decided to go to a friends house to continue with the festivities. Star swipe to four hours later and I've had a few to many. I think I hear someone say something to me I don't like, and I decide to do something about it. Later I learned that he wasn't talking to me i guess. Anyway I got in a fight on my birthday and no have a black eye to show for it. But I am happy to say I did as was asked and went out and had a bad day.
