Seeing as today is my 29th birthday (big props to Mom and Dad for enabling this day to happen) I thought I would make a list of reasons you could celebrate today:

29.   It is above freezing today
28.   In 1793, Louis XVI was guillotined for treason by the French government.  Ok, not really reason to celebrate but a moment in history never the less.
27.   Birthday of Leo Burnett, business man who founded one of the best advertising agencies in the world, Leo Burnett Worldwide.  Burnett was responsible for creating such icons as the Jolly Green Giant, the Marlboro Man, Toucan Sam, Charlie the Tuna, Morris the Cat, the Pillsbury Doughboy, the 7up "Spot", and Tony the Tiger.  Plus, he hired me for a short time...his biggest claim to fame.
26.   The first nuclear submarine was launched in 1954, revolutionizing nautical warfare and giving us storylines for U-571, The Hunt for the Red October, Crimson Tide and, most notably, Down Periscope
27.   In 1950, George Orwell, arguably the 20th centuries' best chronicler of English literature passed away.  If you haven't read 1984, get a copy and while reading, remember it was written in 1949.
26.   William Wrigley III was born in 1933 who gave us such things as Wrigley's gum and one of the last TRUE cathedrals of baseball, Wrigley Field.
25.   In 1976, the first Concorde took flight from London to Paris with passengers aboard.  The Concorde - when only traveling at the speed of sound will do.
24.   In 1798, the first American novel, The Power of Sympathy or the Triumph of Nature Founded in Truth is printed in Boston, MA, paving the way for literary works like The Catcher and the Rye, All the Kings Men, The Great Gatsby, To Kill a Mockingbird and The Cat and the Hat...just to name a few.
23-18.   Billy Ocean was born in 1950 and gave us 6 reasons to celebrate today by providing us with his masterpieces: "Caribbean Queen," "Loverboy," "Suddenly," "When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Gets Going," "They'll Be Sad Songs" and last but certainly not least, "Get Out of My Dreams, Get Into My Car."  (beep beep oooo yeah)
17.   The Pineapple was introduced in Hawaii in 1813
16.   The first inaugural parade was broadcast on TV for Harry Truman in 1949
15.   In 1954, the first gas turbine automobile debuted in NYC
14.   The Bee Gee's album, "Saturday Night Fever" goes to #1 for 24 weeks forever immortalizing John Travolta and giving Justin Timberlake the chance to do one of the best skits in SNL history
13.   News of the Lewinsky/Clinton affair is published in 1998.  Cigar anyone?
12.   Geena Davis was born in 1956 to prove that there is NO CRYING IN BASEBALL
11.   Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon was born in 1963
10.   The Wizard of Oz made it's big screen debut in New York City which gave us the saying, "There's no place like home," a saying the Cavs believe in with a record of 20-0 this year at The Q.
9.   Lorena Bobbitt found temporarily insane of chopping off spouse's penis.  Really?!?!  Insane??!?!  You don't say!
8.   100 participants run in the Nude Olympics race in Indiana in tempatures around 38 degrees Farenheit.
7.   In 1980, the year of my birth, Les Henson of Virginia Tech made a 89' 3" basketball field goal.  Moondog did his patented "One Arm" dunk the next day and broke the backboard.
6.   Neptune becomes the outermost planet in 1979 (Pluto moves closer).  They still can't find Uranus...that joke never gets old.
5.   In 1940, Jack Nicklaus, arguably the best golfer to ever play the game before Tiger Woods was born in Columbus, Ohio.
4.   Orpheus Roye, defensive end for the Pittsburgh Steelers, was born in 1974.  How about a belated birthday present and win next Sunday, huh, O? 
3.   In 1979 during Superbowl XIII, Pittsburgh Steelers beat Dallas Cowboys, 35-31 in Miami and Terry Bradshaw was named MVP.  30 years later, the Steelers are playing in Super Bowl XLIII in another city in Florida.  Coincidence?
2.   In 2009, the Cavaliers avoid their first losing streak of the season with a win over the Trailblazers.  Ok, so I'm prognosticating here but "Choose Faith, Cleveland."
1.   All for One. One for All.  GO CAVS!
