Well let's see shall we:) -wonder where this is going right? On December 27, 1979 the year in which I was born, the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in an attempt to put a pawn into power there...kinda like we did recently with Iraq now that I think about it. Needless to say the Communist Soviets faced the same problem with rebels making it impossible to bring the country under a complete control.
Let's look at a more positive event though. Around the same time that Karl Marx was thinking up his ideas of a socialist utopia, another human being was getting on a ship to sail to exotic beaches to study the genealogical patterns of animals. That human was none other than Charles Darwin, his ship called the Beagle and it departed on that history changing journey on December 27, 1835
Here we have another interesting event that happened on December 27th. The famous Polish pianist Ignacy Paderewski gave a patriotic speech in Poznan, causing The Greater Poland Uprising against Germany. This later influenced the Treaty of Versailles to include more territory to Poland...probably because the world all agreed that they are a bunch of big ball having hearty folk who won't stand for no bullshit and they better give them whats theirs and then some.
One thing these events have in common -other than the date, is that many people were effected in a deep and meaningful way. weather it was a sense of hope and liberation, sadness or joy.
Well something else happened on December 27th, and this time a bit closer to the present. On December the 27th, 1984 the most beautiful baby ever to show her face on the planet was born...now I wasn't actually there, but I know that judging by her doll-like porcelain face, soft almond eyes, and a smile so perfect it had to be carved by the Goddesses' own hand, that it had to be so.
Her name is Lacey.
I also know that like the other events in history that happened on this earth shattering day, many people will be deeply effected by the birth of this single woman. They will be greater in spirit to know someone with so much compassion, someone that has so much love to give. December 27th, 1984 gave birth to person who would effect my life more deeply and absolutely than any other.
Happy Birthday to my georgeous wife Lacey...I love you so much
