but growing up my birthday was never a big deal. i'd get a gift or two...we maybe did dinner. but i think i had one party. so i never mad a big deal of it. then i got to college and one of my boys was like...you better celebrate. that's your day. and he's right.
you share holidays if you even believe in them. i mean technically...Christmas is for the Christians and Veteran's Day is for the veterans. Columbus Day and Thanksgiving are for oppressors. Memorial Day is for dead people. you really never get a day.
so i've grown to love my birthday. sometimes i buy a new suit just for the occasion, and 99% of the time i won't be at work. my birthday is on a Wed this year. ain't shit gonna be going on, but i guarantee you i won't be at work. i love myself and that's the most important day of the year. followed by Thanksgiving. i love Thanksgiving even tho the reason we celebrate it is some bullshit. --------------------------------------- it's true what they say...people are strange, when you're strangers.
