since my last post dealt with my birthday....
i think maria and i are getting birthday-jitters (or something like that being that both of us have our b-days in a very short time). maybe she isn't jittery, but i am FREAKING out about turning 30.
i mean i'm freaking out about a few other things. but mostly that. 30!!!!!!!!!! for crying out loud.
anyway.
go to wikipedia, type in your birthday month and day, not the year. then choose three events, two births, and one death that occurred on that day and post them on your blog. here goes for me...
events
1787 - The United States forms and becomes a country.
1967 - Jim Morrison and The Doors defy CBS censors on The Ed Sullivan Show. Morrison sang the lyrics, "Girl, we couldn't get much higher" from the song, Light My Fire when asked not to.
1976 - The first Space Shuttle, Enterprise, was unveiled by NASA
births
1743 - Marquis de Condorcet, French mathematician (d. 1794)
1962 - Baz Luhrmann, Australian film director
death
1179 - Hildegard of Bingen, German abbess and composer (b. 1098)
its interesting to just find out what else happened on my birthday.
I'm with you, Kate. I'm freaking out about turning 30 and I'm still 8 months away!
Jason still gets carded and he's 31, so there's hope for the rest of us.
