In no particular order, here are a few other folks that share my birthday. There are a few really good ones here too.
Natalie Portman– 1981 – Now this girl is hot. And hey, if I marry her, I will never forget her birthday. Win, win I say.
Check out her hotness here
Johnny Depp– 1963 – Seriously, this guy is just cool. Edward Scissorhands was ridiculously cool. Although Pirates III was simply bad. I will let it slide.
Heeeeere’s Johnny
Michael J Fox– 1961 – Back to the Future, I say no more.
Michael J. Fox Foundation
Aaron Sorkin– 1961 – I wonder when Tommy Shlamme was born? (er, 1950 in case you were wondering)
Did you know this guy writes books too?
Patricia Cornwell– 1956 – Mommy’s Kindle is packed with this type of stuff so here’s to mom and her book obsession.
Check her out too…
Mitch Mitchell– 1947 – For those who don’t have the first clue who this cat is, he was the drummer for Jimi Hendrix.
Man, this guy is like 61 and has a MySpace page. Cool.
Dick Vitale– 1939 – Mom and Dad are NOT sports fans but I thought I would include this guy on the off chance I can actually get a sports event on any TV in the house.

Jackie Mason– 1931 –
Chandler Young: I’m Chandler Young.
Jack Hartounian: Oh, I’m afraid I’m at a disadvantage; I only have one last name.
Chandler Young: And quite an interesting last name it is.
Jack Hartounian: Hartounian!
Chandler Young: What is your background?
Jack Hartounian: My father was Armenian. My other was half Jewish, half English, half Spanish.
Chandler Young: That’s three halves.
Jack Hartounian: Oh, she was a big woman.

Cole Porter– 1891 – Wrote Kiss Me Kate and a bunch of other stuff.
A little discography
Samuel Slater– 1768 – Remember back to history class. If you don’t (and since I have not had one yet) he was the father of the American Revolution; or so they say.

And now, for the gem in my crown of cool birthdays is the coolest of all, Mr. Les Paul. If you saw my sonograms and saw my fingers you would know why I am sooooo psyched about this one. My fingers are HUGE! This guy rocks…
Les Paul– 1916 – Dad saw him a while back in the city and at 94 or something like that he is still amazing. For those of you who don’t know, this guy invented, yes I said invented, the electric guitar. He still plays 2 sets a night in NYC every Monday. If that is not enjoying what you do for a living, I don’t know what is.
