Labor Day since 1882

It seems that I am quite popular these days. Refer to the fourth and fifth comments on my previous entry... I am so lucky to have such adoring fans; they even look out for my health.

Labor day weekend has come and gone! Some of you packed, some of you partied, some of you sat around and watched a lot of porn (Howard), but did we really celebrate what Labor Day means? Do we comprehend the significance of this occasion? A brief history on Labor Day indicates... YES! People worked, people got tired of working, people decided to proclaim the first Monday of every September a day to not work. I am trying very hard to do what this country wants me to: sit on my arse and not do a thing all day.

Unfortunately, there are many people unable to celebrate this day. Department stores, gas stations, grocery stores, are all open. If Labor Day was meant to celebrate the "working man," I think these people should not have to work; afterall, today is their day. Wait... on our way back from our weekend in the mountains, we had to fill up the gas (by the way, $3.05 per gallon? It's like we stole it!). We also stopped by ShopRite where I was able to procure some Total Honey Clusters cereal, that I so urgently desired (one word: fiber). So, if they were not open.... well, there's always Thanksgiving!
