Just another day on the calendar
So here I stand before you.... okay, I'm sitting, and the odds of me actually being near you as you read this are rather slim, but whatever... let's just move on, shall we?
It's officially the day that I'm supposed to feel all warm and special.
Well, you know what? I don't care.
This might strike you as odd, but I'm not one for the spotlight. I don't crave attention. I tend to seek it, yes, but on my own terms.
Whatever.
I actually took the time recently to look up May 15th on IMDb.com, and you know what? I actually learned something... I had been previously under the impression that former World Series MVP Josh Beckett shared my exact birth date, and that perennial All-Pro, and all-around bad ass linebacker Ray Lewis (1975) were the only people of note born on that day (had I been a believer in signs, I'd say this was my sign that I should have been famous!!), and I find out that defending American League MVP, and New Westinster, BC native Justin Morneau was born one year to the day after me.
No, seriously... check the list. If you can spot anyone cooler, do let me know..... this is a weak day.

From famousbirthdays.com
May 15th,
69 - Emmitt Smith
53 - George Brett
37 - Madeleline Albright
I was born on the same day as Keira Knightley.
Keira Knightley is more hittable than Madeleline Albright. Hence, I win.

Actually, I knew about Emmitt... but not George Brett!
What is it about athletes?
PS: Keira > Medeline? Depends on your perspective......

Yeah, it's pretty much always going to be more famous for a death than a birth. But you're gonna do better for sports stars than most days later in the year.

And by the famous death, I totally mean the Ides of March, which went by a while ago.
I haven't had a drink in days; am I getting dumber?
