Birthday treats.

It's my birthday today. Yes. I cannot believe I am 24 today.

I was thinking last night about how we always say, "Happy Birthday". What does that mean? Isn't it a bit of an old, stale phrase that we don't really mean? Do we mean we are celebrating the fact that someone has been born? Because it sure doesn't sound like we're celebrating when we say it. To be honest, it sounds like we're pretty bored.
