my birthday is kind of kewl.
Instructions: Go to Wikipedia, type in your birthday, but not the year, and select three events, births, and deaths that share that day with you.
Events.. does it just have to be three?! I CHOOSE FOUR! One is of a personal note. So much shit happened on my little bitty day.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-EVENTS!-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
1939 – New York City’s La Guardia Airport opens. -> This is a nice personal point. I used this airport a lot. I’m glad it opened on my b-day. Used to fly in and out of this place on a regular basis. Long distance relationships. LGA has a soft spot in my heart.
1942 – Manhattan Project: A team led by Enrico Fermi initiate the first self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction. -> Arguably the birth of the most destructive device in the world. Can’t beat that.. And no it wasn’t ME! MWHAHAHAHAHA!!! or was it. .. …
1954 – Red Scare: The United States Senate votes 65 to 22 to condemn Joseph McCarthy for “conduct that tends to bring the Senate into dishonor and disrepute.” -> The United States Senate wakes up after allowing one of the most dishonorable actions in american History. Hey this is a good thing.
2001 – Enron files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. -> Perhaps the end of corporate greed and malicious activities?! One can only hope.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-BIRTHS-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
OH NO THIS REALLY BITES!
ALL THE BIRTHS SUCK!…………………………………………………………
EVEN SATAN HERSELF WAS BORN ON MY DAY! BRITNEY SPEARS! ONE YEAR AFTER I WAS BORN!
I must scrub myself now. Cleanse myself of my hated day.

And finally, I’m sorry to have to tell you this, but it is true.
It came as a shock to everyone, i know.
On december 2nd 1957, Harrison Ford died.
Yes , yes we all know. He was a great actor. Who could forget his most memorable films and works? He made movies seem more special. We will miss him.
