Congratulations !! I was born in July, too. In school I felt it was nice to be born during the holiday season because I didn’t like the attention that comes with having your birthday when you’re a kid. Funny that I’ve never liked giving or taking presents that much, either. I also feel that birthdays are mostly there to remind you of aging. One thing, though, I like about birthdays (mine or others) is that they remind you that you’re alive. Some of my schoolmates died young and still being here is worth to celebrate. At least a little.

That little patch above your ass (which is really at the bottom of your back) is a sign of your blossoming manhood. It’s when you get long hair on your ears and growing out of your eyebrows that you can start to feel old, and that doesn’t happen till you are in your late 30s!

ya i know im the same everybody else seems to revel in these sort of situations i just want to get them over with, its not that im trying to dodge the fact im a year older its just it means nothing, im 32 now maybe later i will start to worry at these events, but surly thats not what they are meant to be. maybe its better if we stop birthday celeb when we 11 or 12 no good comes from it after that

Marilyn Monroe’s rendition of “Happy Birthday To You” is the best, ever.

Incidentally, that song was copyrighted in, I think, 1904 or so. It was written by an American kindergarten teacher who wrote a songbook for children to sing for all kinds of different occasions.

It is still in the private domain. The owners earn roughly $26 million a year from it.

Phil guess who else born today!!!! Asa B. just had a daughter!!! More news later!

As they say, old age is not for sissies
