Here's a thought for the day

My biggest problem, nay complaint, with the day that is "today" is that you can't complain about anything today with most people ascribing it to "today". Instead, you've got to look like a benign Buddha (too much merriment also evokes comment). I like my complaints and I like to complain, so I'm not very happy with anyone taking that away from me in a blaze of innuendo. I'm fairly happy as a person right now (if you discount all the various complaints) and especially if you compare my lot to a whole set of people. I'd be complaining about the same things tomorrow as well, but suddenly tomorrow's complaint is much more mundane than today's. I resent that.

In Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Joel rightly starts off saying that "Today is a holiday invented by greeting card companies to make people feel like crap". And if you tell me this post was a classic example of a reaction from someone not having to make any purchases that make those greeting card companies fill their pockets, don't come near me or I'll give you something to complain about :-)
