Today is Be Nasty Day. Today is a day to be... well... nasty. The word 'nasty' can mean many different things, though. the first thing I thought was to be mean to everyone, and I'm sure that's what most of you thought, too. However, the first definition of 'nasty' in my handy dandy macbook dictionary is "Highly unpleasant, especially to the senses; physically nauseating". Now, I don't know about you, but there are very few people I have seen in my life that have physically nauseated me. I've met people that I thought were disgusting in a few ways, sure, but to actually be at the point of debating whether or not I could hold in an urge to throw up while in their presence? That's a rarity.

Of course, the dictionary also defines it in the way we would think normally. "Behaving in an unpleasant or spiteful way". Ah, there we go. We have all been around someone being this kind of nasty, and we have all been this kind of nasty. This kind of nasty is easier to pull off as well, because there are many different actions that various people will view as nasty.

Not I recommend going all-out in your celebration of this Holiday, but if one were to choose to do so, I would recommend following the second definition. It's not only easier, it's most likely healthier in the short-run. If this holiday were year-long, I'd recommend the second. I've contractually obligated myself to celebrate each holiday "To the best that my current circumstances allow", however. So I will be doing my best to be nasty all day. Luckily, I have the internet, which makes it just oh-so-much easier to be nasty towards others. As for being disgusting... uh... I just... won't... shower? ... It's just a day after all.

Today is National Crown Roast of Pork Day.  It is fairly obviously a day to roast and eat pork. I don't know if it HAS to be a crown roast of pork specifically, and I'm going to have to hope not for my sake. As a 20 year old college boy, I do not have the supplies to make a crown roast of pork, and even more importantly: I don't have the money to buy those supplies. What I can do is make up for that fact. I have enough pork related products in the house to trick my stomach into eating multiple crown roasts. If you are fortunate enough to be able to celebrate this holiday properly, however, please share with friends. If everyone bought and ate their own, that would only further certain thoughts about the american lifestyle.

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.
