Happy Birthday, Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz!

adrock2.jpg

Today (October 31st, 2009), Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz of the Beastie Boys (my third-favourite band of all time) turns forty-three years old. Forty-three strikes me as a creepily old age for Ad-Rock to be; Ad-Rock, you don't look a day over thirty-seven!

Ad-Rock is one of my favourite people ever to have been born on this planet. Ad-Rock's forty-three years ago birth has greatly benefited my life over the years. Ad-Rock's spirit animal is a black labrador puppy. If I could pick one dude from all recorded history to be my fraternal twin brother, it would be Ad-Rock. Ad-Rock is my favourite Beastie Boy. I relate to Ad-Rock a ton. Here are some reasons why:

1. "So what if I'm a ham and cheese on rye? I gots to do my thing and that's no lie."
2. "I'm all fucked up and I wanna so I'm gonna."
3. I'm a water sign.
4. I'm a wiry, dynamic brunet(te).
5. "The gift of gab is the gift that I have."
6. "I'm Adam and I'm adamant about living large" (only in my case, I'm "Laura". This is an opinion I also share with Adam "MCA" Yauch. They are both adamant about this.)
7. One of Ad-Rock's many "rapping names" is "The Kid." I too am The Kid! When people call me Kid (which happens a lot, because I project really intense "Call me Kid!" vibes), I feel like I am "seen." Once, I was in Liverpool, and a creepy old man said "Oy! Kid! Can I 'ave a fag, then?" and I was like "Oh my God! You get me!" So there's an anecdote from my life that has very little to do with Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz.

In conclusion: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ADAM "AD-ROCK" HOROVITZ! My birthday present to you is that I will be your Personal Assistant if you want me to. Also, Happy Birthday to ALL THE HALLOWE'EN SCORPIOS out there! Congratulations on having a really killer birthday. You are wonderful, exciting, and complex human beings.

Seen below is a clip of Ad-Rock being awesome, ADD-charming and a feminist at the 1999 MTV Video Awards. He is wearing a basset hound t-shirt and is at his all-time cutest. This is my favourite video on all YouTube.

Say something so insightful and witty, it will blow us away. (No pressure.)

Got something to say? We'd love to hear it! Name, email and "type in the weirdo drunken text" thingie are all required to comment; don't worry, we won't email you or anything, we just want to make sure you're not an evil spambot. Keeping in mind the good-times mentality we like to keep going here, we've worked hard to keep NOGOODFORME.COM as fun as possible. We welcome all kinds of comments, but insults/abuse/general bitchery are not tolerated. In other words, we put the smackdown on evil troll posts. If you want to be a hater, please go elsewhere.
