Long time viewers know my stance on birthdays. I hate 'em and that's a fact. Now, new viewers can know as well. I hate birthdays. But for years, in an attempt to be connected socially with other humanz, I made sure to wish people a "happy birthday" on Facebook. FB does a nice job of listing people whose birthday it is, so wishing them good tidings etc. is pretty easy.
So I did it. For years, I wrote little messages and sent images of balloons and monkeys and whatnot. Sometimes I got a "thank you" and sometimes I felt included in a mass "thank you." But you know what, I decided to try something. I decided to stop wishing people a happy birthday on Facebook, just to see if it would make any difference in the world. I did (or didn't) do it for a year, giving each person the same opportunity to be ignored. Would this really cause any consequence? Does anyone really care?
Now, there is starving in Sudan so I might have to go back to saying Happy Birthday to people.
