No but actually, birthdays don't really mean much. Popular culture may lead you to believe that it's an important day, or that you should be given special treatment or something, but it's just another day. I mean, the vast majority of people in the world carry no significance other than the fact that they exist, and make up an almost irrelevant percentage of the population. And even if you do carry some significance like being the person who cures cancer (like for reals), you're still just another person. Nevertheless, I did have a better day than I normally would have because I got to see many of my friends, and came to understand that there are people that (to some extent) care about my quiet existence.

| This is a Chocolate Macaroon Cake that my good friend Tim Whistance-Smith made for me at his place of work - The Dutchess. It's one of the elite bakeries here in Edmonton. It looks great and probably tastes just as amazing! This is a dish best served cold (actually), and as such needed to be refrigerated. You can always expect something great to come from a pastry chef. |
