It cheered me up so there!
Feeling far better today, so I'm going to do something more fun. Saw this meme (its gotta be meem right, I know it not me me) on someone else's blog, can't remember which but it goes something like this.
Go to wikipedia, type in the date and month of your birth, but not the year, then find -
3 events
2 people who's birthday you share
1 person who died that day
and
1 holiday.
Sounds lame, probably is, but it raised my spirits. Try it or don't - your choice.
Mine are as follows
Events -
399 BC - The philosopher Socrates sentenced to death.
1852 - Great Ormond St Hospital for Sick Children, London, admits its first patient.
1906 - The British Labour Party organized.
Births -
1564 - Galileo Galilei, Italian astronomer and physicist (d. 1642)
1954 - Matt Groening, American cartoonist
Deaths -
1965 - Nat King Cole, American singer and musician (b. 1919)
Holiday -
Flag Day in Canada (A new red-and-white maple leaf design is adopted as the flag of Canada, replacing the old Canadian Red Ensign banner on 15th Feb 1965.)
I know, I know its pretty lame but it cheered me up. So na na nana na to you if you don't like it. My iPod is now playing All Sparks by Editors, if that doesn't cheer you up what does.
Back with more from my tortured black soul soon when normal service will be resumend, that is all...

Cool idea. I just found out I share my birthday with Chris Eubank though, can't win them all!
Interesting. If slightly troubling. I share my birthday with two porn stars, a dead rapper, a serial killer and Leo Sayer. And I already knew Barbara Cartland died on my birthday because I remember drinking to her that year.
Puss
Emiliano Zapata is a cool one as is Dino De Laurentiis, Donald P. Bellisario.
American television producer who produced the A Team (what more do you need).
Dustin Hoffman, The Edge, Roger Federer - its not fair I struggled to find any cool ones on mine.
Thats just the births the deaths include Cannonball Adderley, events include Nixon's resignation, The Beatles - Revolver album released ,the Great Train Robbery happened. I am so jealous its not true
See Donna Aug 8th is cool
Puss,
Its 3 porn stars and if that wasn't enough Mr T as well. I pity the fool.
Still Durer and Alexander Pope aren't bad
That's too much work for me. I'm not that motivated.
I do believe I'm going to go all copy catting this for a post this week.
I bet I know how to cheer you up. Didn't say I was gonna, but I bet I could.
Don't tease me, its half nekkid thursday so I expect at least 1 pic in my email today. Don't worry about the half bit either.
