"What?? I ain't getting old yet! What the fuck are you talking about?"

Well, Rich should by now feel a whole year older and perhaps wiser. What the hell am I talking about? We're talking about the guy who allowed a photo of him while on the toilet to be taken and THEN he had it uploaded to his website! He's not gonna grow up, not if he can help it. I say he's 33 going on. . .oh about 5! But hey, that's why we love him. He's just so gosh darn cute that we let him get away with toilet pictures and oddball remarks about new members nearly "pooping" their pants because Rich is Rich and that's just the way he is.

Now, even though he's this silly and almost seems to reek of trouble, one has to wonder what Rich is gonna do for his birthday. The obvious answer is, well, PARTY! What else do you do on a birthday? Well, I suppose you could sleep and do nothing, but isn't that just dull? At least he was lucky enough to have his birthday in May and not September like me. I usually have the first week of school on my birthday. He's a spring boy so he's lucky!! How cool is that! Though, those summer people are the luckiest. It's not cold and school is not in. What a deal.

Anyways, I thought I'd share some awesome facts about Rich's birthday. You know, just so you can say, "I KNOW that!"

One of Rich's idols as a kid. Bono from U2!!

 

1. Bono from U2 was born on Rich's birthday. Okay, so he's older and had the date first, but who cares! I'm sure that does make Rich say, "Cool!" I know I'd be thrilled if I shared my birthday with someone cool. I just happen to have mine on Labor Day weekend most of the time, if not Labor Day. I guess I could say I have one famous person. Paul Harvey, whoopity do. But Bono! That's awesome! I'm not that big on U2, but I do like them. Come on, we all know some of the songs just because they rule.

2. Rich is a Taurean. This means he's a Bull on the Zodiac sign. Taureans are very passionate and are ruled by Venus. That means they're loving. Aww, isn't that cute? They are also patient, consistent and loyal. But, since they are a Bull, they can be very stubborn as well. If a Bull becomes too stubborn, they may become passive and that means lazy.

Taureans tend to like music in the lighter variety. (hmm, someone doesn't know Rich very well.) The Bull isn't inclined to listen to anything harsh or grating, but rather have background music. A few artists are: Garth Brooks, Vince Gill and Le Ann Rrimes. Umm, yeah. That's what the horoscope thing said! Don't ask me!

One has to wonder if the statement that Taureans are sweet tooths is true for Rich. Maybe he loves chocolate to death! Now that'd be a battle if it ever came to sharing chocolate with me! I don't share! But I have a funny feeling he doesn't mind fast food one bit!

3. One of our FDG own shares his birthday. Lexie! Happy Birthday! See that note about sharing your birthday with cool people, cause you do! Feel guilty since I share mine with Paul Harvey. I couldn't get lucky enough to share mine with anyone cool.

And if you didn't, well, hmm, re read it. You just might the second time around, then again, you might not! Have fun, for Christ sakes wish Lexie a Happy Birthday and while you're at it, party!
