It's Just Another Day

I woke up this morning to the annoying beeps of both my mobile phones. Suddenly, the people inhabiting this planet that I know realized that they've missed me, and therefore decided to spoil my beauty sleep so early in the morning. Lucky technology hasn't advanced to the level that we can easily communicate with others living in other planets, if there are any to begin with in the first place. 

Reading the annoying text messages half asleep is bad, but when it's a stupid forwarded message - the feeling is worse than being constipated. Like what the fuck is 'Happy 29th February'? 

Have we reach to such high levels of idiocracy that the additional day added into the calendar on a leap year is to be celebrated? What about the rest of the days of the year? Why can't those days be celebrated as well? This gets me to think how well marketeers have successfully gotten the dummies to fall for their trap - All the unwanted fuss about Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day and what not crap day. Why do you need special days to being thankful or celebrate your love to someone. Can't it be done on any other day? 

I still remember how confused I was when I was a kid as Mother's Day is celebrated in March in the UK while it is in May here in Malaysia. So, from the non-logical way of most human minds, mothers from the UK are to be celebrated on a specific day in March while those from most other parts of the world shall be appreciated two months later. Stupid? Not? I think it is utter lunacy.

Back to the 29th February, shut the fuck up and sleep lah people. If you have nothing better to do early in the morning, here's a thought - go move your fat asses and exercise or prepare a healthy breakfast to kick start your day. Do not send me useless text messages like Happy 29th February so early in the morning.

I remember reading a long time ago, don't quote me on this, that the earth actually requires 365.25 days to complete its orbit, hence the formation of a leap year once every four years with the additional day. 

Now imagine if the calendars were mark in such that the one-quarter of a day is incorporated to a certain month. We would probably have people celebrating 'Happy 6hours Day'. 

Or maybe, McDonald's would be giving out free quarter-pounders on that day. Now that doesn't sound too bad, does it?
