The lifestyle of many of our colleagues has been very pompous. They conduct weddings and birthdays in such an ostentatious manner that it pains me a lot. It appears that they are making fun of our commitment to the poor.
As a comedian, especially one that works as much as I do, there is a lot of sacrifice. People don't see that I'm away from my family 46 weeks out of the year. I miss all the birthdays and anniversaries and holidays.
I lost my childhood. I didn't play football or video games. Or have birthdays or the love of a family.
I really don't care about birthdays. It's something where even as a kid, I never really felt comfortable when someone would sing to me.
This is the normal way with birthdays, see? Amazingly enough, they arrive on the same day, every year.
Birthday Alarm was a very simple site based on being reminded of your friends' birthdays.
Thanks to Facebook, I never forget the birthdays of people I don't really know.

I don't care if it's a dreaded hot dog in front of the dastardly TV as long as you're all there. -Maeve Bennett
Our birthdays are feathers in the broad wing of time.
It's amazing to me how few guys know their friends' birthdays.

Sooner or later we all discover that the big moments in life are not the advertised ones, not the birthdays, the graduations, the weddings, not the great goals achieved. The real milestones are less prepossessing. They come to the door of memory unannounced, stray dogs that amble in, sniff around a bit and simply never leave. Our lives are measured by these. You were born an original. Don't die a copy. There is no cure for birth and death save to enjoy the interval. So mine's a double and I'll see you all in hell suckers!
