Happy Birthday to ME!
Okay it’s not really my birthday, but Marzie tagged with this nifty little meme which I quite enjoyed. It’s always interesting to find out what events occurred on your birthday throughout history. The rules are simple and as follows:
- Go to Wikipedia and type in your birthday (month and day).
- Write down three events, 2 births, 1 holiday and tag 5 friends.
- There are five slots in the Birthday Meme. As you are tagged, you have to remove the name in the first slot and bump everyone up so that your name can be added to the bottom.
So without further ado here are some random things related to my birthday. I am a Sagittarius born on December 19th.
Three events which occurred on this day
- 1972 – Apollo program: The last manned lunar flight, Apollo 17, crewed by Eugene Cernan, Ron Evans and Harrison Schmitt, returns to Earth.
- 1974 – Nelson A. Rockefeller is sworn in as the 41st Vice President of the United States under President Gerald Ford.
- 2001 – The fire at the World Trade Center, as a result of the September 11, 2001 attacks, is finally extinguished after three months.
Two people who share the same birthday as I
- 1967 – Criss Angel, American illusionist and escapist
- 1972 – Alyssa Milano, American actress
One holiday celebrated on this day
- Opalia Roman Festival – “Opiconsivia was another name of Opis. And this name also was given to December 19, on which day the Opalia were celebrated, in her honor (some mention also August 10 and December 9). The Latin word consivia (or consiva) derives from conserere (”to sow”). Hence, the word Opiconsivia may be interpreted as meaning “the sowing of crops”, since Ops ultimately means “crops” in the sense of “riches, goods”. This word is also related to Consus, the male consort of Opis as “the seeder”, who protected the harvested grain. – Wikipedia”
I shall tag the following folks to participate in this meme.

LOL…I had the hugest crush on Alyssa Milano when I was younger. I didn’t even need Wikipedia to tell me I shared the same birthday as her. I knew that already ;)
Wow Mike! You weren’t kidding when u said you’ll get right on it! That was fast LOL!
Ooooh, you got Criss Angel AND Alyssa Milano, both cool celebs! :)
Mariuca SEO Traffic
Hehe…you messaged me about it at just the right time since I happened to be checking stats this morning on MBL. Plus some memes are really simple to do, while I still have others I’ve yet to do because I struggle with them for one reason or another :|
Criss Angel? It just doesn’t get any cooler than that Mike! I’d be scared to know who shares my birthday….what if it was someone creepy….lol.
I got mine done. :)
@Christy: I thought you’d like that one :D
@Bucky: Saw it, commented! :mrgreen:
My post is up, Mikey! :) Thanks for the tag!
Happy birthday anyway!
It just so happens today was my baby brother’s birthday. I can’t believe he is 35. He reminds me so much of you, or vice versa. I think that’s why I have always looked at you like a little bro.
:-)
Oh and this is for Christy, I think that Criss Angel is just about the creepiest guy around. LOL I’m so bass-ackwards aren’t I Mike?! I am skeered of Criss Angel, yet I would be ecstatic if the Burger King Guy showed up at my doorstep tonight. Oh, dear. I hope my alien ship comes back for me someday.
@Mimi: LOL, thank you :P
@Polli: Awww, well that made my day :D
hmm nice and funny link chain going on, makes it a lot more fun with the facts :D
Oh! I totally missed out on this one…and I don’t get why, as I read your feed. I will do it eventually, I promise!
