Birthday Woes
I don't like birthdays. I mean, what's the point in celebrating them? It's not as if you don't age at all during the entire year and then on just one day you suddenly become a whole year older! So why all the extra fuss on your birthday? Is it just because you want at least one day in the year when you can feel special?
I hate telling people my birthday. When asked, I normally reply, "29th February." Of course, no one ever believes me when I say that and they ask me again.
I don't envy the people who are actually born on the 29th of February. I can just imagine -
Mr Cynic: So when's your birthday?
Mr Unfortunate: February 29th.
Mr Cynic: Get out of here!
Mr Unfortunate: No, I'm serious. I was born on the 29th of February 1980. It's a leap year.
Mr Cynic: Yeah. And I'm the Queen of England!
You know what else I don't get? The practice of treating your friends on your birthday!
Ok. Let's look at this objectively.
- It's my birthday.
- I'm a whole year closer to kicking the bucket.
- Another entire year has gone by in my life without me achieving anything.
Bottom line - if anybody needs some cheering up with a treat, it's ME!

see, Its like celebrating Valentines Day. I mean u dont need to declare your love or show special feelings for your loved one only on 14th Feb. But u still celebrate that day . WHY ?? Just coz it makes ur life look forward to something . It just shows that u r grateful to someone for making your special special .
In the same way , ppl. thank their parents for bringing them into this world. Maybe , on a bday , u celebrate and try to remember who all r really worthy in ur life to have a fun time with !!!
Thats really true about birthdays..
sometimes i really wonder how someone can celebrate the fact that they've lost one moe year of their precious life!!!
anyways..
that is that and nobody can help it.
but i must say..
you write the best blogs ive ever read...

doesnt matter.. despite everything..
Einstein was a scientist!!!
P.S No offence intended! just plain compliments my style!
You know this is very true, who wants to get older, once you hit a certain age, noone takes you seriously anymore. It's kinda like childhood in revese. :) AB
