It's A Day Off!
As some of you may have noticed, today is Martin
Luther King Jr.'s Birthday (observed). You see, Martin Luther King Jr. was a
person whose birthday we decided to celebrate for the purpose of giving
government workers a three day weekend. You could say that we celebrate it
because of the guy's accomplishments in human rights, but if that was the case, then we would
actually celebrate it on his birthday (January 15) rather than the third Monday
of January. And why is it only MLKJ's birthday anyway? Sure, we get a couple of
the presidents' birthdays off, but there need to be more excuses for three day
weekends. How about Lewis and Clark day? I see nothing wrong with celebrating
Harrison Ford Day. What we need is to mob the president with a group of
Harrison Ford fans to get this piece of legislation passed. I mean, it worked
for MLKJ Day.
Black people: Always trying to keep the white man down.Well, it's not for me to get picky about. I know
I have the day off and plan to enjoy it. The best part of today is that I am
actually getting paid not go to work. I was half-way tempted to wank off just
to say to my coworkers that I was getting paid to wank off, but I didn't think
it was worth a compromising situation. Instead, I just plan to stay inside all
day. There are three reasons for this. First, of course, is that I am getting
paid for it. Second is because I resume classes tomorrow. Once that begins, I
will hardly be home at all. I plan to do as much as I can today that I won't be
able to do until, y'know, my next day off. Lastly, today's high is expected to
be below freezing. I know I love the cold weather, but even I will say it's
cold when it's below freezing and windy. I hope to get a couple of posts done in advance, so that way I will always have something to post. I'm thinking about doing some book reviews too, so be prepared for that.

I still think we should celebrate the Roman holiday schedule, where we celebrate every god, and have festivals in the street for each of them, which would make the working year for us lazy Americans to be around maybe 1 solid month of work a year, with 300 days paid vacation.
I never understood why we dont get Kennedys birthday or assassination day off, i mean our nation just love's Kennedy so why not give us another 3 day weekend? (personaly i cant stand kennedy but hey a 3 day weekend is a 3 day weekend)
OMG you just said wank off! So you really are male, unfortunatly i am using to day to write a beautful essay that i have been put off for the past few days! Yeah bullshit!
