Today: Happy Birthday to me… and Justin Bieber.
It’s probably rude to wish yourself a happy birthday, but what the heck. Happy Birthday to me… and Justin Bieber. With two such remarkable Americans born on this day, it’s a surprise March 1st isn’t a national holiday. Sort of. [Thanks to one lovely commenter (below) for informing me that Justin Bieber is, in fact, Canadian. My bad.]
Wondering what else happened on this day? According to wikipedia, a whole bunch of bad stuff (Catholics murdered 23 Huguenots in 1562, the Salem Witch Trials began in 1692, and the worst avalanche in the history of the US killed 96 people in 1910). Fortunately the Biebs and I came along to turn things around.
While I may not have any hits on the radio, nor scores of adoring fans, nor a fragrance on sale at Macy’s, I like to think I’m doing my little part in this world. And that I get better at doing that little part every year.
Also On Tap for Today:
- A much needed massage and a B12 shot (I know how to live)
- 2013 horoscope for my fellow Pisces
- Hoping for a birthday hedgehog
Did anything cool (besides you, obviously) happen on your birthday?

Happy Birthday! I have a godchild who was born on my birth date. I also have a good friend, the priest I converted to Catholicism under, who shares the birthday. Unfortunately, we all share our birthday with history and that is not good as we are all September 11th babies. I turned 40 in 2001. UGH!

I was going to say nothing cool happened on my birthday but HOLD THE PHONE… I just looked on wikipedia (thank you) and found out the Bill of Rights was passed by Congress on my birthday. Perfect for my royal nerdiness.
I also share a birthday with Will Smith, Catherine Zeta Jones AND Michael Douglas, Barbara Walters, Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker… more nerdiness), and Christopher Reeve, among others. I could talk about my birthday like you talk about your wedding 😉

Happy birthday!!! I was actually born on Super Bowl Sunday. Luckily, I came in the morning, so my dad didn’t have to miss the game. Priorities, right?
