Pull back corner of film to vent.

Today is National Frozen Food Day! It is indeed a grand day for bachelors everywhere, as this makes up quite a bit of our diet. Well, thats a bit of a half-true blanket statement. I can cook, but that talent seems to only be truly any good in the area of desserts. Although I can make a mean wrap. The point being, that frozen foods are easy, fast, and delicious if you know what kinds to get. Hot Pockets? Yummy. Do I regret eating them almost immediately after I do? You bet. Some frozen foods are delicious AND good for you, though. Healthy Choice would be the obvious example there.

Let us not forget however, that 'frozen food' does not always mean 'meal-in-a-box'. No, food is food; so logically frozen food is any edible good that is frozen to preserve its flavour. Fruit, meat, veggies, ice cream, sherbet, sometimes pop-tarts, and even those certain candies that are just better frozen (I'm looking at you, charleston chew). Yes, frozen food certainly does encompass a lot of foods we partake in.

We have two people to thank for this holiday. First and foremost is Clarence Birdseye, whose name probably foretold of his awesometude later in life. He invented the process of freezing foods. Clarence, this Hot Pocket Sloppy Joe Side Shot goes out to you, my fellow man. The next shout out is for the man who saw the greatness of frozen food, and wisely used his position of power to give it the honor it deserved: Ronald Reagan. Yes, indeed, we can rest assured that he was also a fan of the quick-meal. He made this national holiday on March 6, 1984 saying "Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim March 6, 1984, as Frozen Food Day, and I call upon the American people to observe such day with appropriate ceremonies and activities." Awesome. Just awesome.

An Inner Round Table.

Today is Multiple Personality Day. Almost every site I went to while researching this day said: "It's an opportunity to get in touch with yourselves." They used that exact phrasing, so I'm assuming I would be wrong to not use it as well. I don't believe I know anybody with multiple personalities, but then again, it says "get in touch with yourself", not "with others' other personalities". So I suppose today can be seen as a way to get in touch with a side of yourself that you might not be all too connected to.

Some examples might be reconnecting with your inner child, getting in touch with your feminine side, or talking to your anger to find out why he is so angry. It can also be a day to just purposefully change personality types throughout the day (It's not the same as just being moody). Mostly though, it seems to be a day of introspection. A day to step back into your own mind and find out what is really going on behind the scenes of your everyday thoughts. Seems like fun!

Holy Experiments, Batman

Today is Holy Experiment Day! I've researched this holiday as best as I could, and it seems it is a day to literally test out holy things to see whether or not God exists, or is who He says He is. As a christian, I see both good and bad sides to this holiday. Let's start with the good. This is a good day for someone who isn't religious to 'test the waters' without any real pressure from other influences, as they can simply claim to be observing a one day holiday. If something does happen due to what they do today, though, be it an answered prayer, or seeing God move in their life, then it may help introduce them to God and how he works.

HOWEVER, the bad side severely outweighs the good. The holiday insinuates in it's own way that religion is can be experimented in as if it were a science. Scientific experiments, if done again and again, always have the same outcome. Religion simply doesn't work that way. Prayers are not always answered in the way you may want them to be, and there isn't any kind of specific date you get on when it will be answered or how it will be answered. This holiday seems to make God out to be like some kind of vending machine that you can try out today, and if it doesn't work for you, then you can move on. Which is not the way ANY religion should be looked at.

I'll readily admit to not being the strongest christian in the world, as I do have a lot of work to do. A LOT of work. Sure, today can be used to try something new religiously. Maybe if you haven't fasted before (which by the way isn't always abstaining from food), then that could be something you try, or maybe try going out of your comfort zone to 1) Talk to a pastor about religion, or 2) Talk about your religion to people who may not know about your religion.

If any one has feedback, especially for this holiday, please comment below. It is early, so I may not have been able to be as clear as I want to be on this subject.
