Go to Wikipedia and look up your birth day (excluding the year).
List three neat facts, two births and one death in your journal, including the year.
I did four, three, and two because I couldn't decide between the last two births and was tired of wibbling and because I'm a bleeding rebel.
FACTS
1851 - Harriet Beecher Stowe's anti-slavery serial, Uncle Tom's Cabin or, Life Among the Lowly starts a ten-month run in the National Era abolitionist newspaper.
1956 - Elvis Presley introduces his new single, "Hound Dog", on The Milton Berle Show, scandalizing the audience with his suggestive hip movements.
1968 - U.S. presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy is shot at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, California by Sirhan Sirhan. (He dies on June 6). Yep, we lost one who could have changed the world.
1977 - The Apple II, the first practical personal computer, goes on sale.
1981 - The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that five homosexual men in Los Angeles, California, have a rare form of pneumonia seen only in patients with weakened immune systems.
BIRTHS
1850 - Pat Garrett, American Western lawman (d. 1908)
1919 - Richard Scarry, American children's author (d. 1994)
1971 - Mark Wahlberg, American singer and actor (Yeah, that's right. Marky Mark was born on my tenth birthday. Deal with it.
1980 - Draco Malfoy, heir to the Malfoy Fortune.
DEATHS
2002 - Dee Dee Ramone, American bassist (The Ramones) (b. 1952)
2004 - Ronald Reagan, former President of the United States (b. 1911)
Trivia!
If anyone knows what my current music has to do with the content of the meme, I'll write something for you. Something small. More than a sentence, less than a book. Yeah, I know. You're all overcome with joy.

I'll think of something soon, but in the interim you may want to read something I wrote a couple of years ago, after my boys didn't win the ALCS again. (Oddly I didn't write when we actually took the whole shebang). It took me ten minutes, was written so all my railing and ranting could go somewhere besides my blood pressure) and it might just be the piece of my own writing that makes me the proudest:
To Reach the Unreachable Star

I'm afraid I don't know enough about the Maple Leafs to write anything, alas.
