Yesterday, knowing there wasn’t a lot of lunch-style food in the house and not having been in a while, I hit the nearby pizza place on my lunch break. I ended up having to get it to-go, however, because the place was packed. Later on when I got home, I started seeing things on various sites about National Pizza Day, which explained the crowd, though it made me feel bad because I generally don’t bother with stuff of that nature. I don’t make a point of non-conformity, but I definitely avoid both fads and manufactured holidays. It was just a coincidence, I swear!<\/p>\n
What made this ironic is that today<\/em> is National Coincidence Day<\/strong>, the day we should all recognize the meaningless coincidences in our lives. I had apparently jumped the gun on celebrating that<\/em> one, again without even meaning to, which is perhaps celebrating it doubly so. Even worse, tomorrow is National Contrition<\/em> Day, which means I’m really<\/em> out of synch and<\/em> hopelessly trapped amongst the mindless sheep.<\/p>\n But then I found out that the day before yesterday<\/em> was National Pizza Day, so we’re all good now. It had been getting all irony up in here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yesterday, knowing there wasn’t a lot of lunch-style food in the house and not having been in a while, I hit the nearby pizza place on my lunch break.
