Rugged Day

Today is Lumpy Rug Day! It is apparently a day to celebrate rugs that are not lumpy! Which is kind of misleading. Here I was looking ahead at my calendar thinking "My, what a strange and fantastically unique holiday to celebrate such a random item. AND the random item has such an odd adjective attached to it." when in reality the day celebrates the opposite of what it says. However, under the current circumstances of my home having recently obtained new rugs, I choose to celebrate their lumpiness and ability to trip you randomly. For some reason, rugs are not packaged in such a way that they are already flat when you purchase them. They are almost always lumpy, or at least bumpy. In case you don't know the difference, bumpiness is like a ripple while lumpiness is like moguls.

On Fire

Today is Fire Day! I found very little information about this specific day online, but I'm fairly sure I can figure it out. I would think that it is a day to celebrate the coolest (not literally) element (classical, not periodical) there is. Fire does many things... or rather it does few things, but those things have a large plethora of uses. Now before all you arsonists and pyromaniacs go crazier than normal, I'm going to have to ask that you keep your fiery celebrations under control. Don't light a forest or house or small mammal on fire. Keep it to things that are safe while still being able to be amazed by the fire as it crackles. Did you know that the amount of fire directly relates to how many people are involved? It's true. Here's some facts I made up, but should be taken without question:

Bonfire: Huge party on a hill with tons of people
Campfire: Pow-wow of small friends reminiscing
Fire in a grill: Family picnic
Fireplace: Two people having a serious conversation about life
One candle on a table: All that is needed to perfectly set the mood for a dinner that is otherwise lit by the burning love of two star-crossed lovers whose hearts shall surely be aflame for all eternity.

Whoa... Sorry. Didn't mean to get all poetic on you. It just happens sometimes.

Rhino and Goose

Today is Mother Goose Day! Mother Goose is pretty much the mother (haha) of all fairy tales. Or at least the ones that don't involve the vicious tearing apart of the lives of people both innocent or guilty with very little discretion. (I'm looking at you Grimm Fairy Tales!) Spend some time today reading your favourite tale from Mother Goose. Even better: find a small child that has been as of yet deprived of such tales, and retell them to him/her as best as you can remember them. It's okay if it isn't perfect. The personal touch is what makes fairy tales so... well... personal.

Today is also Save the Rhino Day! I wasn't aware that the rhino was in any danger. Now I am though! That's pretty much the gist of this holiday. If you want to help rhinos survive life, then donate to a charity that puts money towards the cause of trying to crack down on all the poaching thats going on. Poaching is one of the biggest problems when it comes to animals going extinct. It's rarely ever nature's fault. Usually ours. So it's basically us doing all the harm. In case you were unaware, that also puts the blame on us. I don't know about you, but I don't like being blamed. And I DO like rhinos. So try to find a way to help 'em out. That is all.
