The kids are in the final day of a 4-day holiday weekend, which sucks when you’re poor and can’t take them to do anything. Although, I did manage to come up with $20 to take the little one to Ollie Koala’s (like Chuckie Cheese, only better) yesterday while her sister was at a birthday party at a roller rink.

Do you have any idea how long $20 lasts in a place like Ollie Koala’s with just one kid? A long damn time, let me tell you.

So, the banks and guvmint offices are all closed, which pisses me off because I’m in the habit of hitting the library on Monday evenings to get some writing done for some of my other websites. It’s kind of tough to actually write VALUABLE and MEANINGFUL content with TVs blaring and kids climbing all over. Not like the crap you read here.

So, let’s start a movement, shall we: Abolish Silly Holidays.

• President’s Day
• Columbus Day

That’s all to start with. I mean, where is it written that once a holiday is declared, it has to remain a holiday forever? The time has passed for these two holidays. They’re meaningless. Who sits home and plans their President’s Day gathering? Who goes to church to pray the souls of our dead presidents? And Columbus?? Does anyone still think Columbus was an adventurer who set out to prove the earth was round by finding a western trade route to India, or was he a power-hungry, greedy man who had a contract for 10% of the wealth of anything he found, demanded the title of “Admiral of the Ocean Sea” and a promise to be made governor of any lands he found?

I mean, COME ON!! Abolish Silly Holidays!!!
