My Hebrew birthday is tonight and that has always been problematic for me, you see when your brithday falls out on chanukah people forget to give you a gift because they just gave you one. In my case no one ever really gave me any gifts, the last gifts I got en masse seemed to be my bar mitzvah and since then no one has really cared to acknowledge me, my grandaprents and all dead and I have no rich relatives, but I figured maybe one of you wants to send me a gift, a card, anything to make me feel nice, you can even donate money for my trip out west.
I don’t really expect anything but I figured what the hey? It can’t hurt…
My paypal address is [email protected]
If you really want to send me anything – I love mail – you can send it to my fathers house at
