1981: Part 1

In light of my quarter of a century birthday, up until my birthday in one month and 5 days I'm going to begin installments of... 1981. Not quite as weird as 1984, but it's always fun to hear 25 years ago today, this happened. Episode 1: Births and Deaths Actors/Actresses/Famous People of note who were born in the same year as me: 1981 Willa Ford-singer Beverley Mitchell-the 2nd oldest 7th heaven chic... Elijah Wood-Frodo Baggins is as old as me? Justin Timberlake-Rock your body! Alisa Reyes-i dunno she sounded familiar? Kelly Rowland-from Destiny's Child Paris Hilton-damn I should be out partying more Josh Groban-operaish singer Julia Stiles-she's so cute, I wish she was my friend Hayden Christensen-Luke is old enough to be my father? What? Troy Polamalu-I am so not supposed to be the same age as a STEELER! Jessica Alba-Guess those are real lips and not collagen injections. She's young! Jamie-Lynn Sigler-I forget who this is. Anna Kournikova-See guys, I won't look old till Anna does. Natalie Portman-Please grow your hair back! Beyonce Knowles-I just have nothing to say. Johnathan Taylor Thomas-He was my favorite on Home Improvement Nicole Richie-Definitely, I really think I should be partying more. Serena Williams-The only thing I've ever one was a few dollars on the lottery. It's not fair. Ivanka Trump-Well my dad's name IS Donald. Britney Spears-Two kids ahead of me. Amy Lee-Another cd Amy, please. I can't decide if this makes me feel old or not. It is interesting to know that, had I lived in a different city, I could have been in school with Britney or Justin or Paris Hilton. People who died in 1981: Bob Marley Natalie Wood Bill Haley (like and the comets) Wow...a lot of people I've never heard of...The nobel peace prizes in medicine were won by a Roger Wolcott Sperry who did split brain research. Interesting.
