Thanks everyone,
Damn I am beginning to feel middle aged
Oh Sin, I celebrate on the 28th most of the time since it's the last day of February. Anyways the Socialist republic of Illinois does not put the 29th on drivers licenses, even after I tried to explain to the moron behind the counter that yes they can put 2/29 as my expiration date since my driver's license expires every 4 years and my birthday comes every 4 years too.
Speaking of the drivers license department, when I renewed my license in 1996, I made the comment after seeing the renewal date of 2/28/00, that it never expired since there was no year. Damn morons thought I was serious!

I recently learned that there isn't a leap year every 4 years, there's a big space, but every once in a while they skip a leap day... I don't recall what the rule is though

First I heard of that. What I understand is that the earths orbit is exactly 365.25 days long, thus the reason behind adding a day every four years, so that the calendar doesn't get screwed up. only thing I can say for sure that for the past 50 years they have had a leap year every 4 years

In the Gregorian calendar, the current standard calendar in most of the world, most years that are evenly divisible by 4 are leap years. In each leap year, the month of February has 29 days instead of 28. Adding an extra day to the calendar every four years compensates for the fact that a period of 365 days is shorter than a solar year by almost 6 hours.
However, some exceptions to this rule are required since the duration of a solar year is slightly less than 365.25 days. Years that are evenly divisible by 100 are not leap years, unless they are also evenly divisible by 400, in which case they are leap years.[1][2] For example, 1600 and 2000 were leap years, but 1700, 1800 and 1900 were not. Similarly, 2100, 2200, 2300, 2500, 2600, 2700, 2900 and 3000 will not be leap years, but 2400 and 2800 will be. By this rule, the average number of days per year will be 365 + 1/4 − 1/100 + 1/400 = 365.2425, which is 365 days, 5 hours, 49 minutes, and 12 seconds. The Gregorian calendar was designed to keep the vernal equinox on or close to March 21, so that the date of Easter (celebrated on the Sunday after the 14th day of the Moon—i.e. a full moon—that falls on or after March 21) remains correct with respect to the vernal equinox.[3] The vernal equinox year is about 365.242374 days long (and increasing).
