Today feels like one of those days like the bajillion other days that will come and go withoutany recollection. Sometimes it makes me feel this anxiety like I'm wasting all these perfectly good days not doing anything special, but the truth is they're inevitable. Its so naive to think that every day can be the most memorable wonderful day ever. That almost sounds exhausting when I think about it. Then it got me to thinking, every day has some significance to somebody.
I mean even though I think today is boring as shit and I'll probably never remember what I did, somewhere babies are being born, people are getting promotions, visiting foreign places, or maybe mourning the loss of love ones. And I know it's totally creepy to think this but sometimes I think about how each year the date that we are going to die someday comes and goes without us giving it a second thought.I guess the same thing can be applied to things like the date you might get married or have children too.
I still remember this poster my sister's roommate had in their dorm room when she was in college that said 365 REASONS TO PARTY. It gave some crazy fact that had happened on each day and it is the reason I now know I share my birthday with Elvis!
So I know you guys are all dying to know some of the signficant things that happened on April 15th throughout the history of mankind.(I know, nerd alert!)
*Leonardo Da Vinci was born in 1452
*The Titanic sank in 1912
*Jackie Robinson made his debut as Dodger and scored the game winning run in 1947
