For the musical portion of today’s witty addition to Bri’s Own World, I have awesome news. On January 31, which happens to be my birthday, Jason Mraz will be on Saturday Night Live!! He’s performing I’m Yours and Lucky! ON MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!
But that leads to my next topic for today: birthdays.
Doesn’t it seem like a strange thing to celebrate?
“Congrats, you’ve survived another year!”
I mean, doesn’t it seem a bit gruesome?
“Happy Birthday, Bri!”
“As opposed to what?”
“…eh?”
“‘Happy death day’? ‘Happy day before you die’? Why are we celebrating that I’m still alive? Do you know something I don’t? Huh? Oh, dear god, I have cancer don’t I? Does Antonio Banderas have cancer too? Oh no oh no oh no…”
Maybe that’s not exactly how things are going to transpire, but you get my point. It’s a bit of a downer to celebrate being alive, don’t you think? I guess maybe it’s to compensate for the fact that, once most of us are dead, no one will remember us. So the longer we live, the better chance we have to be remembered. “Congrats, Bri! You’re 17 years more famous than you were when you were born! Awesome job not dying yet!”
…I have no way to end this blog. *Insert witty comment here*
