Go to Wikipedia and look up your birthday (excluding the year). List three neat events, two births and one death (I felt two were neat...) in your journal, including the year:
Events
1792 - U.S. President George Washington vetoes a bill designed to apportion representatives among U.S. states. This was the first time the presidential veto had been used in the United States.
1930 - In an act of civil disobedience, Mohandas Gandhi breaks British law after marching to the sea and making salt.
1956 - Fidel Castro declares himself at war with the President of Cuba.
Births
1588 - Thomas Hobbes, English philosopher (d. 1679)
1908 - Bette Davis, American actress (d. 1989)
Deaths
1994 - Kurt Cobain, American musician (b. 1967)
2002 - Layne Staley, American musician (Alice in Chains) (b. 1967)
So - if you're a tortured, brilliant rock/alternative musician, beware the 5th of April!
Also, just because it's neat:
