July Appreciation

As a teenager, I spend a good chunk of my time on the internet, whether it be on Facebook, another blog, or one of the many video game-related sites I visit. (I am such a geek) Sometimes I'll find some very unusual things while clicking around, and one of those things was a search related to "National Month of...". I was just curious to see what our current month celebrates, and you may be surprised by the list I found.

July is the national month of...

• Anti-boredom

If that's so, then why have I spent the whole day so far trying to find something to do? We've been swimming almost every day this week, so I don't feel like going o the pond, I can't find a single video game I want to play, all my friends are out doing something...... I'M SO BORED!!!

• Hot dogs

What a coincidence; I had hot dogs for dinner last night!

• Ice cream

We've got a container in the freezer full of it, along with some Champs! ice cream cones.

• Cell phone courtesy

 Be courteous to your Blackberry.

• Unlucky month for weddings

If you, or someone you know, were planning to get married this month, I'd advise against it. That is, if you're superstitious. If not, go ahead, get hitched! Just don't blame me when you get left at the alter...

• Blueberries

What can I say? Blueberries are awesome!

Then, there are the unusual holidays celebrated during the individual weeks, and days in the month of July.

• Second week of July- Nude Recreation Week

Go ahead, take it off. Take it all off.

• July 2- I Forgot Day

I have a funny feeling I forgot something that day......

• July 3- Compliment Your Mirror Day

Whenever I see someone gorgeous, I stop, stare, and when I get tired I put the mirror down.

• July 10- Teddy Bear Picnic Day

I'm not afraid to admit, I do have a teddy bear...... or two.

• July 13- Barber Shop Music Appreciation Day

Almost as bad as elevator music..... but more catchy. (Just don't start bobbing your head to the beat while the barber is cutting your hair. You just might end up with a bald spot.)

• July 15- Tapioca Pudding Day

My mom has some of this in our fridge. I've never had the desire to try it. Maybe on the fifteenth I'll try some.

• July 15- Cow Appreciation Day

Go give a cow a hug... while eating tapioca pudding.

• July 17- Yellow Pig Day

That's a pig of a different color!

• July 27- Take Your Pants For a Walk Day

I don't really have anything clever to say about this...

I guess there's more to celebrate during July than just Independence Day. Mark your calendars, and have a happy National Strawberry Sundae Day!

Yours in awesomeness,
~Ry.
