In my many years to choose from, and
I do have plenty of them, I think that this past year is the one to go down as the
one that passed the fastest. I also need to note that it seems to also be the
year that the most things happened to me within it. It really was a strange
year. All of the crap, and the good, that went on with my job(s), life, money,
truck, bike (motorcycle), stress level, and my dog. I can’t forget my dog. Did
you notice the plural? There were a couple of job changes as well. All for the
better, which affects all of the other items in one way or another. Except for
my dog. He’s unconditionally immune to
the woes of humanity. Lucky buggar.
It’s been an interesting year for
sure but that’s not what I wish to talk about. Another special day in the never
ending long list of special days has come and gone once again. Not un-noticed by
any means, no. But came and went just the same. Most of you have probably never
even heard of this worldwide holiday and don’t even realize that the entire premise
of this holiday applies to every single person on this little blue planet of
ours. Is the suspense just eating at you yet?
It was International Chris Gaines
Day just a couple of days ago. That’s correct. You heard it here first folks. And
with the exception of a handful of wonderful people, I thank you all from the
bottom of my heart, the majority of the world missed it. I mean completely
dropped the ball on this one I must say. As if it was just another normal day
in a year of seemingly endless days.
And rightfully as it should be,
because it means nothing to anyone else. International Chris Gaines Day, as I
call it, is a specific day that happens only once a year, and is celebrated by
one person. I made it an International holiday so I can celebrate it wherever I
happen to be in the world at the time. As I said earlier, only the premise
applies to everyone.
Every person on Earth has their
own designated International holiday. Did you not know about it? Oh yeah, it’s
very real, and most of you have been doing it wrong all this time. You all have
one day each year that’s your own, given to you at birth that no one can take
away from you. It’s yours to do with as you please.
Employers should be legally bound
to happily give you the day off because of that fact. After all, it’s your very
own International holiday. If not, book off of work and spend it at your leisure
with people you love, doing something special for yourself.
Birthdays are to be celebrated
but it’s not always about the party. Ok, sometimes it is, it’s more about doing
something special for yourself no matter what that may be. And as long as you
enjoy the day doing something you want, who cares? It’s your day. You only get
one a year so use it wisely.
For everyone reading this, and
everyone not, whether early or belated, Happy Birthday. I truly hope you have a
wonderful one.
