The Most Pointless Blog Ever

I was browsing IMDB and came across some guy who was born on October 13, and because I'm very very sad I thought "ooo, my birthday is only 9 days after that". So because, like I said, I'm very very sad, I had to see who was born on my birthday. Cue half an hour of googling and other sophisticated research to present the following ridiculously pointless blog...
