I got to sleep all day. I mean worth it to me, though that meant I slept through new years.

The only birthday present I have ever recived was about 70$ from my grandparents when I turned 12.

My parents never liked to celebrate anything, including birthdays.

I got the equivalent of $50 for my last birthday. Nothing more than that. But still thankful, goes towards keeping my car running.

I got the satisfaction of my 14 yo son sending me a happy birthday dad message. I don't get stuff for my birthday anymore.

It's always a good day if you woke up breathing.

since the age of 16, i have stopped receiving birthday presents, but my uncle usually gives me some toiletries of all things, and 20 bucks. 

Space Journal #1: So Apparently i  was dropped on the moon like i'm a mars rover, in a matter of hours i have found the transformers on the dark side of the moon. Turns out its not that dark since dem robots are filled with lights, i waved hi to the Russians on the space station, turns out all those stories about space finding humans instead of the other way around is true(soviet Russia joke). They threw me some Heineken beer and I've been sitting staring at the people of this forum and earth since.

Money, the best gift ever. You can buy whatever you want and they don't have to risk buying you something you don't like.

Nothing, my birthday is actually a week after Christmas so my parents pull an economic saving trick and don't get me anything. All my other brothers do, older and younger, I'm the one who doesn't. But who am I to complain, I live a pretty decent life, I don't need anything. 

 

-edit- 

 

Next year maybe something, anything would be nice  :D

I got laid. Other than that, I rarely want anything for my birthday, and the things I do ask for are pretty practical. Like cash. "I don't really want anything, but if you MUST get me something, just give me cash."

For birthday, i get the most creative thing ever(money and clothes).

A little bit of cash.
