1981

This entry will be bordering on narcissism. But I don't care. Haha.

With the acceptance that I've turned 30 this year, I've also realized that a lot of great people share my birthday. It has also been the anniversary of significant events. If John Mayer wrote a song about 1963, I would have written one about 1981.

The first great event that happened 1981 was that MTV aired for the first time on August 1. The very first video was "Video Killed the Radio Star" by the Buggles. How cool is that?

Prince Charles and Lady Diana got married. We know how that ended, but well if that didn't happen there won't be Princes William and Harry right? The world would have been two hot men less.

McDonalds opened its first branch in the Philippines.

A lot of celebrities were also born 1981:
Justin Timberlake
Howie Day
Elijah Wood
Kelly Rowland
Paris Hilton
Josh Groban
Julia Stiles
Hayden Christensen
Jessica Alba
Craig David
Anna Kournikova
Natalie Portman
Brandon Flowers
Rachel Bilson
Beyonce
Alexis Bledel
Jonathan Taylor Thomas
Serena Williams
Ivanka Trump
Britney Spears
Sienna Miller
Chad Michael Murray
Joseph Gordon Levitt
Chris Evans
Ben Barnes
Robert Buckley
Nicole Richie

There are so many more actually and seeing each one gives me pride. Maybe there was a burst of falling stars throughout this year. Who knows. So maybe people of 1981 are destined for greatness. Hahaha. But it's good to find inspiration from these people who share my age and strive to make a mark as well :)
