birthdayzzz.

finally someone else shares my disinterest in birthdays. Allstar Weekend has a song titled:

Party Like It's Not Your Birthday


every clock is ticking faster//taking trips around the sun//another year, another chapter//5 and 4 and 3 and 2 and 1//drop your calls, lose your keys//until the drinks are gone//get yourself out of your seat, oh oh//quit your bitchin' move your feet//until the break of dawn//cause nobody gives a damn about the day that you were born//this song is for everyone who it ain't your birthday//you gotta party like it's not, party like it's not//this song's for for anyone who is having the worst day//you gotta party like it's not, party like it's not//oh oh oh//party like it's not, party like it's not your birthday//take a sip of the high life//chase it down until you fall//three hundred sixty five nights//why just one if we can have them all?//drop your calls, lose your keys//before the drinks are gone//get yourself out your seat, oh oh//clap your hands, move your feet//until the break of dawn//cause nobody gives a damn about the day that you were born//okay lets lose control//i wanna see everybody on the floor//well go and send your invitations//do it now cause time is wasting//life is tough so fill them cups//one life to live imma live it up//drinks go up, drink 'em down//turn it up, wake up the dawn//turn it up, wake up the town//okay check it out, here's the plan//we gonna dance till we can not stand//move your feet to every beat//o crap, bring it back, put it on repeat//we are going to party till the break of dawn/i don't even know how i'm getting home//it's alright it's okay//it's not even my birthday!



okay, i don't agree with most of the things said in this song. but, i'm really not the biggest fan of birthdays. and i find it interesting that, as light as the mood of this song is, someone else feels the same way. why should your birthday be that much better than every other day? sure, you can take time to appreciate the life you've been given. but don't think that, just because it's your birthday it has to be more important than any other day.

okay, don't get me wrong. i will respect you on your birthday and treat you well. they just aren't MY favorite. they're kind of awk. but, i am looking forward to inheriting $2500 on my 18th next month. PTL.
