Yes friends, it is once again time to celebrate ME! I’m 43 this year, if you must know.
Here are some of the interesting things that have happened / are happening on April 6, besides yrs truly being born:
- 1327- The poet Petrarch (supposedly) first sees his idealized love, Laura, who he would write 300+ sonnets to
- 1969 (nice) – Actor Paul Rudd is born
- April 5 (yes I’m cheating), 1980 – R.E.M. plays for the first time at the former St. Mary’s Episcopal Church in Athens, GA.
- TODAY: International Asexuality Day – I find this quite funny because I myself am asexual, but only in recent years accepted that label for myself.
So pet your dog, listen to some R.E.M., and celebrate my birthday (and Paul Rudd’s) in the comments!
