I Can Be Your Friend

It is Monday January 10th, and I am feeling the Monday lazies. It doesn't help that there is snow outside and to go out I would have to get dressed up in layers that will become too warm once I come back in, and I'll have to keep changing as I go in and out. Luckily, today's holiday doesn't really involve going out. It could, but it doesn't. It's Peculiar People Day today and that means it's time to celebrate the oddities in the weirdos in your life. If you are anything like me, then you have already amassed quite a collection of peculiar people in you life, and have yourself already developed into a fairly odd person if you were to really evaluate yourself and compare to the popular social definition of 'normal'. I plan on finding some time today to send out some personally tailored e-mails, texts, and such to let the peculiar people in my life know that their peculiarities are in fact appreciated. There are many ways this holiday can be celebrated, and I encourage you to come up with creative ways to do it. I'll be trying to think of something, too, but right now it's cold outside and not even 9 a.m. on a Monday, so I'll have to wait for the other half of my brain to wake up.

Shoes to Fill

Today is January 9th, and it's snowing outside for the first time this year. The holiday today is Play God Day. When I first saw the name, I of course thought I would go out and buy an ant farm or play The Sims 3 all day. The actual celebration of the day is done by doing to others whatever God would. This is something I try to do often as is, but something I will admittedly never perfect. So today shall be a day to go into the bible and work on becoming better at it. I actually find it pretty cool that such a holiday exists.

By the way, here is a picture of the puppy I got in celebration of National Joygerm Day.

The First Snag

Before I get started, here is my old rock from yesterday 

Now that all business is out of the way, I'm afraid I've hit somewhat of a snag in this year-long celebration, as this particular holiday is not celebrated by people of my gender. The holiday I speak of is, of course, Man Watcher's Day. This day is a day for women to go out an just look at men. By definition of this holiday, I can't celebrate it. I almost found it offensive until someone brought up the argument that "Everyday for you guys is girl watching day, so what's the big deal?" While I'd rather not think of myself as the kind of guy to do such things, I won't not admit that I don't not do it every now and then. That said, I can certainly try to help the lady-type celebrators of this holiday by doing my part and maybe just care a little more about my appearance in public on a saturday. That's about all I can think of when it comes to my part in this holiday. Otherwise, have a great day, ladies!

In other news, there is another holiday today that I can celebrate! National Joygerm Day also belongs to January 8th, and it's all about spreading the one germ that is both very infectious and only rarely deadly! Spreading joy is one of the easiest and most fun things to do if you know your audience, and joy is almost always returned to the giver exponentially, so it's a win-win holiday! I know what you're thinking! "Kyle, you already plan on trying to be handsome today for all the lady-type peoples out there, how much more joy could you possibly spread?!" The answer is: a lot more, actually! To the Beatles, happiness was a warm gun, and to Charles Shulz, it was a warm puppy! So I'm gonna go pick up a couple of rescue puppies with my mother today, and the house shall be filled with much joy! Every sentence in this paragraph ended with an exclamation point!
