Today’s my 26th birthday, which means what? I can already smoke, drink, gamble, rent cars, and get a substantial discount on my car insurance! However, there IS something special about 26; I’ve escaped from the clutches of Selective Service (a fine euphemistic name for the government agency that’ll ship your ass to war). I actually wasn’t all that worried that they’d reinstate the draft, but what if WW3 broke out, then what? The draft kind of boggles my mind, I suppose the “land of the free” propaganda worked on me, but I just can’t imagine America forcing its people to go kill other people, especially for wars that aren’t vital to the survival of our country (Vietnam comes to mind, as well as the current Iraq situation). But, America DID do this, and it was only 31 years ago!! Well, different times, right? Maybe…
Speaking of different times, check out all the other stuff (besides me) happened on May 22nd in history. I mean, c’mon, Windows 3.0 shipped? I was destined from birth to work at MS!
Apparently it is also World Biodiversity Day. This is special.
Dude! Happy Birthday! I have a Diet Code Red right now. If you were here I'd give it to you.
Hey draft-dodger! Happy birthday! Sorry a little late, but I thought of you Saturday. Best of wishes for you in YOUR new year!
Scott- your B-day is tomorrow isn't it? Happy Birthday to you too!
Dude, that rocks.
Happy birthday son. Click Here to take your birthday song.
You better love everyminute of it.
Thanks, Jake. Just remember to respect your elders. ;) (I'm 27 years old)
Yes, never forget your elders (who are bored at working and responding to all of your's and Peter's blog entries).
Happy (belated) Birthday!
