Five days until my birthday, I don't really think we should be celebrating a birthday because of the fact you were born, I mean heck, if that was the case, we should be giving mom a party, not the other way around. Childbirth isn't easy you know....
I think a birthday is a good day to look back on what you've been doing, and pat yourself on the back for not killing yourself in the process. It's been a rough year despite all my attempts to make it easy by slacking. And I think New Year's resolutions should be moved onto your birthday, it seems more fitting as your birthday is an actual milestone to your life while New Year's only brings another chance to be drunk if your birthday allows.....
Let's see if I can make 10 goals to do when I finally hit 17, (I'm 15 right now)
1. Play a musical duet with anyone at all.
2. Make an honor band.
3. Become drum major (conductor) of my band.
4. Write a drill writing program that will simulate a marching band.
5. Write a whole show using number 4 and my music.
6. Find more goals that don't require music.
7. Learn how to dance
8. Learn Japanese
9. Fall intensely in love with someone so much that I would run away with them if they asked me.
10. Quit being such a jackass (most of the time)
Yea, pretty much after 5 I actually had to work hard to make those goals, I'm sure I have more somewhere in my head though, but those are the major ones......
Just to let you guys know, I never want a printer as a gift.... (darn you dad....).

I agree - I don't think birthdays should be about celebrating of the anniversary of your birth. I mean, we're a year older now, and we should celebrate our growth to a better, wiser person. Accomplishing goals before you obtain a year is growing... right? :)
aw man, Dan, limiting yourself to just 10? :P
10. You're already done with that, scratch it off the list ...
6. Actually, kudos for not putting any cubing goals. Don't think we didn't notice.
7. Hooray, let's help each other out on this one? :D
9. For seriously? Before you turn 17? That's kinda rough, I think ...
Happy early birthday, though. And 'sapity, I'm guessing you won't like my spiffy present of ink cartridges either?
I'm glad someone agrees with me on the symbolism of a birthday. Good call D.
Dude, you'll get those goals made. And let's do some punk rock piano/drum collab sometime and cross of #1.
You got this man!
