It, it's your birthday.
00:06
Hey guys, it's Laura and it was my birthday last week.
00:11
I was born on a beautiful day in September on a Sunday at 2 p.m.
00:15
Don't worry about the day.
00:16
Don't worry about the year.
00:17
Y'all don't need to know that much information about me.
00:20
I've always loved my birthday because I get to celebrate me
00:24
There's good things and bad things about my birthday.
00:27
Good thing is my birthdays.
00:30
I'm a year older and thank you God, that I'm a year older, but
00:33
I'm trying to stay young.
00:34
You know what I'm saying?
00:35
My birthday always falls on Labor Day weekend, which is a blessing
00:40
and a curse, a blessing because I always get a three day weekend
00:44
a curse because no one remembers my birthday because everyone's
00:47
out celebrating their Labor Day weekend.
00:49
One of my favorite birthdays was when I was eight years old
00:52
and my mom came inside the room and she was like a happy birthday
00:55
and I'm like, I know it's my birthday and she's like, guess
00:58
I got you a present.
00:59
I'm like, oh my God, what is it?
01:00
And it was a sporty spice birthday doll.
01:04
Why is it that the older you get, you get less gifts?
01:07
I'll tell you something.
01:08
I had a birthday recently.
01:09
I told several people I was like, give me gifts, please.
01:12
Does that sound a little rude?
01:16
I have no shame because when I was little I didn't have to tell
01:19
nobody to give me birthdays.
01:20
They just gave them to me.
01:21
Now as you get older or what, you don't get gifts, you don't
01:24
take people like gifts.
01:25
It doesn't matter how old you are.
01:26
If you're 80 years old, that's what bitch, you won't get a gift
01:29
from me because I know that I would like to get gifts too.
01:32
One of my worst birthdays was actually my quinceanera because
01:35
it was in the middle of hurricane Katrina.
01:37
I postponed my birthday.
01:38
I only invited people from my church.
01:39
Some of them came but not everyone that I invited.
01:44
I should have another quinceanera.
01:45
One of my favorite birthdays was my 18th birthday because
01:49
my best friends, first of all, they threw me a party which was
01:53
Second of all, they all pitched in together and bought me my
01:57
very first ipod at the end of the day.
01:59
Birthdays are what you make of that.
02:01
I happen to love my birthday even though it falls on Labor Day
02:03
Let me know how you feel about your birthday?
02:06
Does your birthday fall on a holiday?
02:08
It falls on a holiday but some people have it bad.
02:10
Some people have it on Christmas so they only get gifts once
02:15
I am sorry for all you people whose birthdays are in December
02:19
or what about Easter?
02:21
No one cares about you.
02:21
They just care about Jesus fourth of July people have it good
02:25
You get a barbecue, you get fireworks.
02:26
Let me know my comments.
02:28
I'm gonna read them in the meantime.
