birthday parties

i believe it only makes sense to celebrate your birthday after it happened...
that is to say, if your birthday is in 2 days, why celebrate it today? what if something happens?..."no we celebrated rob's 90th on monday, unfortunately he never actually made it to 90..."
isn't it more joyful to celebrate it after it happens, like if it were an achievement? - cuz im takin thats what the buzz is all about, right?
so in essence, it makes more sense to celebrate your birthday a month after it happened, than a week before
who actually cares about the date - "no it needs to be sunday at midnight, i dont care if people have to get up early on monday...it is of the utmost importance...if you cant make it, you're not my friend...no my bday is actually monday at 1.35pm, but i need to celebrate it now!"
i think ill celebrate mine a year after it happens - this way i can preserve my eternal youth!
ciao!
