Well, Labor Day is over. I looked up the definition on the web just
to see what it said and it read that Labor Day “is the celebration of the creation of the
labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of
American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions
workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.”
Having read that, it’s a badass holiday. Let me re-phrase that.
Any day where you get a four-day weekend is a badass holiday. It’s also
fitting that the elections are coming up, adding to the patriotic spirit. Every
Labor Day, instead of cookouts, Americans should grab a shotgun, drink a 40 and go shoot a deer. U.S.A baby!
However, what we should NOT do, in my opinion, is use our free time to
put up Facebook status updates every 5 seconds about how much Obama sucks or
how much Romney blows. I must
have read 50 political status updates yesterday. I swear, people are setting their alarm
clocks to wake up and go on Facebook.
“OMG, I haven’t posted anything about XXX politician in two hours! Must… type… now!”
I joined Facebook for the same reason that everybody else did -- to be a
creeper and check out underage slutty girls. I miss the days of going through Facebook and seeing people
post videos of cats playing keyboards or people taking pictures of the
scrambled eggs that they ate for breakfast. Now I’ve got to read about
everyone’s lame political beliefs and how horrible a person I am if I'm not on your bandwagon
to nowhere.
I’m pretty sure my opinion has zero effect on the actions of others,
but whenever I see a status update about politics, I click “hide” and then
select “all updates” so I never have to hear from you again. Wouldn’t it be great if you could do
that to every annoying person you encounter? Just hit a button, and they can’t talk to you FOREVER. They just magically disappear. Someone
invent an app for this.
Again, these are just my thoughts. You don’t have to take it
seriously, or please do so if it makes you feel better. I don’t care because I’ve said
my peace and will write more,
probably on Oct. 9h, the day after Columbus Day.
