Holy-Day...
I removed the August page of my calander, ready for the month of September, and what is it that my eyes did see?
11 september was labeled as "Patriot Day"... when the hell did THIS happen?!? So now it IS an official holiday... cant say that Im surprised, but what gets me is the choice of name, PATRIOT day? Is that supposed to be in honour of the patriot act? And whats so patriotic about 11 september? Hell, Bushboy wouldnt know a patriot if it dressed up as an indian, broke into his yacht, and started throwing all his coffee and tea out... I hoping that in 3 more years, the hype will wear off, and it can be relegated to one of those minor holidays, like, oh, I dunno, Groundhog's Day or somthing...
Oh yes, that and my 23rd birthday is approaching... Im still not entirely clear on the significance of the number 23...
Actualy, I think after turning 24, I can stop counting.... nothing really to look forward to after that...
Im not sure if I will be planning a party for the event... Im sick of planning parties that hardly anyone shows up to...
But if you want, you can buy me a gift at my amazon wishlist, bookmarked to your left...
and thats all for today
