Yay, it's not my birthday

Now, not wanting to piss on the chips of people who like birthdays, but I really like waking up and realizing that it's not my birthday.

1. I woke up again. That's always a relief.
2. I have been fortunate in my life. I can afford to eat cake any day that I feel like. When I was young, I couldn't, but eating cake doesn't feel special any more.
3. When it's not my birthday, I wake up no older than I was the day before.

Chomping on banana cake as I write this.

It's not my birthday so I'm happy not to get the really cheesy card that my dad insists on getting.

I'm near the end of my fourth decade on this earth, how long should I have been listening to radio four for?

It’s not my birthday until tomorrow… but it is a public holiday. I’m not sure if I should celebrate or not.

What would STW do?

I would do nothing.

I believbe that Birthdays don't actually matter to you/me/the person who's Birthday it actually is.

Birthdays are designed to give everyone else a break from the monotony of yet another ordinary day - on YOUR birthday they have an excuses to buy you a cheesy Birthday Card and eat cake with you.

Your Birthday is your chance to pay them all back for all of THEIR birthdays you get to celebrate throughout the year.

Birthdays are a mechanism 'we' use to improve everyone's day-to-day existence :o)

YMMV (my Wife think's I'm a miserable git - she may or may not be correct!)

I have had 2 birthdays for the last 7 years, well strictly speaking a birthday and a re-birthday day. It also means I'm simultaneously 48 and 7. This pleases me and displeases me in equal measure! Today is neither of my 'special' days.
