Today is my best pal's birthday. Her birthday has had some interesting things happen on this particular day over the years, here's a few of them for ya:
1995 - Oklahoma City Bombings
1993 - David Koresh and the Branch Davidians go down in flames
1987 - The Simpsons make their debut on The Tracey Ullman Show
1961 - The Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba ends in failure
1943 - A swiss chemist deliberately takes LSD for the first time
1938 - NBC begins regular television broadcasts
1927 - Mae West is sentenced to 10 days in jail for obscenity for her play Sex
1904 - Much of Toronto, Ontario, Canada is destroyed by fire
Those are the events I find interesting that happened on her day of birth. Obviously, she is not ancient, so a lot of the events on this list happened before she was even a twinkle in her parent's eyes, but it's interesting stuff.
Here's some cool famous people that share her birth day:
Maria Sharapova - Russian tennis player
Hayden Christensen - actor
Kate Hudson - actress
Jesse James - custom motorcycle builder, TV personality
Ashley Judd - actress
Suge Knight - dead rap producer
Paloma Picasso - daughter of Pablo Picasso (this is weird, Pablo and I share a birth day)
Tim Curry - british actor
Dudley Moore - actor (I used to have weird dreams about him all the time)
Jayne Mansfield - actress
Here's some famous people who died on her birth day:
Charles Darwin - died 1882
David Koresh - but we know that from above, died 1993
So this blog is in honor of Jodi, my best pal in the whole wide world! In just a few short months she will be living in Shreveport, only a short 3 hour drive!
Happy Birthday Jodi, I love you like a sister!

I'll try to get jodi and troy off the couch for some nongay celebration this weekend.
Don't forget the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the first armed confrontation of the Revolutionary War. (McVeigh was partly inspired by this when he blew up the federal building on this date, but mainly he was marking the anniversary of Waco.)
As my mom could tell you, the Sept. 11 baby that she is, it could always be worse.
It was also my buddy Frankie's birthday! 31st!
Yeah, Dave, I didn't forget it, just didn't think it was interesting....
