Saying hello, just hit the link over at Gunz.. place
Mine was prety boring...
However Dwight D. Eisenhower, 34th President of the United States did die on my birthday.
One of my favorite quotes by him which is used on my blog is: "A people that values it's privileges above it's principles soon loses both."
How true that is.
Gotta love the name "Tecumseh". Such a bad ass sound to it.
Feronia? wait'll you see mine!!
I'm too lazy to Google it, but I know that Uma Thurman was born and Alfred Hitchcock died on the exact day I was born.
You sure do like meme's don't you?
Mine is June 30th. You do it. I'll bet it doesn't even mention that it is the smack center of the calender year.
But maybe that only has meaning to me.

Well I gave it a look see and mine was very boring.. no cool names at all.. the events were horrible, people getting beheaded, assassinated and whatnot.. definitely not cool enough to share, lol.
Little Willie John, made me think of that song by Sweet.. Little Willy, Willy won't go home... lol.
I'm going to be singing that all day now. :D
Alleged hell, he did it. They found the records after the wall came down. You and ODB? Hilarious. And Sherman's march always turns me on.
I've done this before but there wasn't anything interesting that happened.
