Hi everyone, yoshi here! I’ve come over from Pandora’s to participate in FFAF! I’ve also got FFAF open on my site as well, so feel free to run on over there and make a post.

So, I didn’t have any ideas. I mean it’s tough to come up with unique posts on FFAF I think. So I had to take the wikipedia birthday route. Here’s some interesting things that happened on my birthday. (November 12):

1980 – The NASA space probe Voyager I makes its closest approach to Saturn and takes first images of its rings.
1993 – The first Ultimate Fighting Championship is held in Denver, Colorado. (this is pretty interesting)
2001 – In New York City, American Airlines Flight 587, an Airbus A300 on its way to the Dominican Republic, crashes minutes after takeoff from John F. Kennedy International Airport, killing all 260 on board and five on the ground. (this is just gruesome.)

Some interesting folks who share the same birthday:

1929 – Grace Kelly, Princess Grace of Monaco, American actress (I totally didn’t know this.)
1934 – Charles Manson, American cult leader and mass murderer (ugh)
1945 – Neil Young, Canadian singer, songwriter, and musician (cool!)
1958 – Megan Mullally, American actress
1968 – Sammy Sosa, Dominican Major League Baseball player (dude, how cool is this? we have the same exact birthday! Go Sammy!)

And to top it all off, November 12th, 1955 is the very day the lightning strikes the clocktower in Back to the Future. Now how cool is that?

Don’t forget to head on over to my site to participate in the FFAF there as well!

it’s been SO long since i’ve participated in a free for all friday (FFAF) … so i’ll refresh everyone’s memory.

this is the day when YOU post on my blog (everymoment.org.. for those of you who are reading my cross posted entries on lj, xanga or myspace).

instructions are as follows:

1) if you have a login name and password for em.org, log-in with that information. if you don’t remember it, there’s a way to retrieve/change your password on that page. once you are logged in… click on “write” and write an entry.

or 2) if you don’t have a login name here on everymoment.org, i have set up a ‘guest’ user for today only. go log-in with:
username: guest
pass: ffafriday
then click on “write” and write a journal entry.

as for a topic to write about… it doesn’t matter. if you are really stumped and need a suggestion.. take one of these ideas:
a) update everyone on a strange/interesting/crazy/shocking/(etc.) current event in your “home town”
b) what are you passionate about?
c) go to wikipedia and type in your name or birthday and share some of the results you get.
d) music or bands that you think we should know about.

alright… everyone understand? good. now i expect lots of people to post entries. ready. set. GO!
