Birthday bevy

http://www.sugarushuk.co.uk

One goal I set for myself this semester is to tweet more and check my Twitter more often. The first tweet I read this morning Duncan McMonagle’s tweet about his new baby granddaughter Isadora, born this morning January 8, 2012. This got me thinking about birthdays. 

What would we do without Facebook birthday updates anymore? Before Facebook I knew all of my friends birthdays. I would wake up and actually dial their numbers and call them rather then text them “HBD.”

As I got older and got my first cell phone I remember I would actually have to enter each important birthday under my friend’s and family’s contact information in my phone book. Now with Facebook, it’s almost like forgetting someones birthday isn’t an excuse anymore...because with an iPhone no one will ever believe that you didn’t go on Facebook that day. Not only that you’re expected to send a text and write on their wall.

All of this thinking made me remember the the Entertainment Tonight, and the ET Birthdays. When I was younger I would always wait anxiously for 6:30 p.m. on Global to see what celebrities were celebrating on that day. On April 16th I would always get excited to see who shared a birthday with me - and the only person I ever recognized was Charlie Chaplin.

So today I went on Google search and looked up celebrity birthdays for January 8th and I found this link...

So today a happy birthday goes out to David Bowie, R.Kelly, and Elvis Presley, and of course Isadora McMonagle...
