What the fuck are up with all these August birthdays?

Categorized: Whimsical Bullshit

Is it just me or is August the birthday month in SF?  Back in Boston, I always remember there being a few birthday's in August, but October always seemed like the month.  Trying to schedule an August birthday party in San Francisco is the equivalent of buying Lady Gaga tickets at Amnesia.

Am I forgetting something?  I recall the months of February/March/April being 'fucking lame' with not too many house parties.  I feel like there just are not enough Spring ragers in the Mission.  If I accidentally have a kid, I hope they're born in the middle of March so I have an excuse to throw an early Spring kegger:

Friend:  Kevin, it's 7pm at your kid's first birthday.  You're fucking wasted.
Me:  Shots shots shots shots shots shots shots EVERYBODY
Friend:  Don't you think you should slow it down?
Me:  Guys.  GUYS.  Let's ride our bikes to Ocean Beach with a bottle of Jameson and watch the sun rise!
Friend:  Fuck this, I'm outta here.
Me: SHHHHHHHHOOOOTTTTTSSSSS

Best spring break ever.

I'm also an August birthday. I always chalked it up to the fact that Valentine's Day (aka Nooky Day) is approximately 8 months prior...

Logan, umm...August is the 8th month of the year. Anyway you spin it, February to August is a little less than the 9 month human birthing cycle. Well...yeah, by a third.

Either that or you now gravitate towards all them foxy lion hearts.

I guess there is something about the offspring of parents love post-turkey nookie.

I'm also born in August. San Francisco is a magnetic field for us! Rawwwrrr.
