Hear Ye, Hear Ye. In order that the fiftteenth day of March does not continue to suck, all loyal House of Shine members are formally requested to submit for our consideration reasons why this day should not be stricken from the calendar.
There is no way to candy coat this. The fifteenth day of March does not shine.
According to www.brownielocks.com, there is nothing - NADA - worth celebrating about this day. These were my choices:
Brutus Day: Isn't he the trader who conspired against Caeser?
Buzzard's Day: Hinckley, Ohio, host to this holiday, is excited to welcome home buzzards after a long winter's hiatus. But me? I couldn't wrap my head around an entire holiday dedicated to celebrating a bird that eats dead stuff.
Ides of March: This was the day Julius Caeser was warned of his ill fate. He was stabbed 23 times by Brutus and sixty other co-consiprators. Betrayal by a friend and literally being stabbed in the back is hardly worth celebrating.
True Confessions Day: While this holiday has the potential to be fun in a Jerry Springer sort of way, it's not quite the House of Shine image I am going for.
World Consumer Rights Day: I could not find much detail about this day on the internet, so I can only assume it is the day we are supposed to celebrate our right to pay near $4.00 a gallon for gas, $5.00 for a cup of Starbucks coffee, and $15.00 per ticket for the 3D movie we took the boys to yesterday. Whoo hoo! I'd celebrate, but I have no money left.
In an attempt to redeem this sorry excuse for a day, my mother informed me that March 15 used to be Tax Day.
Hmmm..... Let me think.
Ummm.... No thanks.
What this day needs is a healthy dose of Shine. Lest ye betray us and forever after be considered our Brutus, visit the Comment Section and bear witness to why this vile and unholy day should not forever be considered thus.
Shining off until tomorrow...
