On June 28th, I celebrated my 30th birthday. 30. It's a milestone! In fact, at this very moment I've officially celebrated 10,962 days, 1 Hour, 58 minutes, and 13 seconds of life. For those of you counting, don't forget to include the eight leap years. Turning 30 puts you in a position to see your life as you've really never looked at your life before. Sure you see the things you've accomplished, but what stands out more is the things you haven't. The opportunities that you've never taken advantage of. This is what I wish to share with you now. The opportunities that you need to take advantage of on your birthday, because let's face it! It's YOUR BIRTHDAY!! And who's birthday is cooler than you're birthday!? No ones, that's right. We're blessed to have you here. You should be treated like the king or queen that you are for a day! By getting stuff for free! Below I've listed 10 gifts that corporate America has decided to grant you.

1.) In my Hub, "Food You Cannot Eat...In Movies" I discussed my initial fascination with the 720 calorie "Big Montana" (Now called the "Large Roast Beef Sandwich") at Arby's. Also discussed was my shock at the price of their food. Well guess what? On Arby's Web site you can register to become an extras member, which earns you exclusive access to special offers, members-only coupons, and promotions. As for your birthday? How about a free roast beef sandwich? That's decent right? O.k......you have to buy a drink and fries to get it, but I'll take it...and hey, they send you your first coupon just for signing up.

2.) After you finish your roast beef, your gonna want to wash it down with some ice cream. Well I've got amazing news. Check out offers presented by Friendly's, Baskin Robbins, Ben & Jerry's, and Dairy Queen. Free? You bet your lovin' spoonful! Is that all? No! Cold Stone is offering the same! Sign up on their Web site to receive a coupon for a free ice cream! You can have any flavor of ice cream with any topping added. Gimme a call and we'll go to each of them! Let's eat ice cream til' we puke! If you've never been to Cold Stone, I suggest you try it. Once you select your ice cream and your toppings, your selected ingredients hit a cold stone table top (literally) and your Frozen Dairy Dessert Technician will paddle and fold your creation to perfection.

3.) What's better than that right? Well the party doesn't stop there! Bring your fun to Dave & Busters for a $5.00 game card credit. If you're a raging gameaholic like I am, you'll take it. I'm always running out of money too darn quick at any and all arcades. Apparently...if you go there...you also get a mini me representation of yourself. At least that's what I've seen in the commercials. Turn any date into a foursome, er,....this advertisement has not been approved by Dave & Busters and the reality of any foursome is highly unlikely!

4.) 15% off your purchase from DSW show. Ladies...that one is primarily for you, I'll be in the car...still working off the brain freeze.

5.) Guys? You want to look good when you pull up to your girls house. You're having a night on the town and not only want to make others jealous of you and your girl but of your ride as well. Well I've got three words for you, er, separated by hyphens......Scrub-A-Dub. You heard right, free car wash on your birthday. Take advantage!

6.) By now you may be saying to yourself, "That's great Kurt, but what does any of this have to do with movies, which is what you promised to write about?" Well,...nothing, I respond, except for your free movie rental from Hollywood Video! Do you remember renting? Some of you do. Try it for the first time or check it out for nostalgia sake! How can you argue with it? It's free! Oh, and this offer is not only extended to you, but to anyone else who is on your account as well!

7.) So you've been washing your car, shopping for shoes, playing video games, and you watched the movie....if you're like me, you're hungry again. "Welcome to Moe's!" Have you been there yet? It's a must go! AWESOME Burritos, and AWESOME tortilla chips! What'd you say? You want that burrito for free? Well.......................the truth is....................WHY NOT! Happy Birthday! Stop into Moe's!

8.) I've read that P.F. Chang's will grant you a free cake or cheesecake on your birthday. This is interesting since I was just there for my friend's birthday, but that was a disaster, which I'll explain in detail in another Hub. We'll call it...."No Second Changses." Actually...doesn't EVERY restaurant offer some kind of free dessert for your birthday?

9.) Speaking of restaurants...the Benihana Japanese Steakhouse is a great one! Actually, it's one of the best offers on this list. $30 off the price of your meal! Say what now!? $30. This is an experience yourself if you've never experienced Benihana. Amazing chefs cook right in front of you on your table. Their tricks tricks are highly entertaining and the food is amazing!

10.) The biggest savings on this list is perhaps the hardest to grasp as well. Picture it...you at the gate of a Walt Disney World or Walt Disney Land theme park, but today....your birthday...you're getting in for free! Until December 31, 2009, anyone who goes to Walt Disney World or Walt Disney Land on their birthday will gain free admittance as part of Disney's "What Will You Celebrate" event. The offer is valid to kids of all ages but is limited to a single theme park. This means that you're not getting a free park hopper pass, but look at it this way, a single adult ticket to the Magic Kingdom is currently $59.75. Not enough? Well hold on! You also get a birthday fast pass, which can be used and shared by yourself and up to 5 members in your party for Disney attractions.

Not to shabby, right? Now what are you waiting for? Get out there! Oh! And Happy Birthday!
