Best Day Ever.

So i started a blog today, Wednesday, April 16th. 'Why today?' you may ask. Was it because I had the best day ever? nope, today i started a blog because today i heard about a student who was in Egypt who was arrested by the Egyptian government for taking pictures at a protest rally. Apparently they have very strict no photos of protesters laws there. But yea not a good place to get arrested...let me repeat that in case you were starting to zone out...NEVER GET ARRESTED IN CAIRO !!! anyway this savy dude made a quick update with his phone to his blog account that simply stated 'ARRESTED'. Now when his friends and family read this they were obviously concerned and called everybody: The police, the FBI, MIB, and the Embassy in Cairo and pretty much everyone else until they found him and got him the heck out of there.
"Good story," you say, "but what does that have to do with your stupendous new blog.". I will explain, thanks for calling it stupendous by the way. Basically to put it bluntly, I have frequent delusions of grandeur and figure that I could be kidnapped or arrested by secret underground nazi deathsquads or fall into a pothole so deep i can't climb out (if you don't think those exist you must not be from Michigan). Anyway, to make a long story excruciatingly longer, I registered for a blogger account and hooked it up to my Jott account and now i can call my blog from my phone and tell you all about the dangerous situation i have suddenly found myself in and beg shamelessly for my rescue!

"That is awesome!" you say, and "I promise i will check your blog every 6 minutes to update myself on your status, but I want to know why it was the best day ever!"
Well thank you in advance for your help and thank you for asking. Normally i don't blog like this, but since you are potentially going to rescue me from dire straits and cataclysmic doom, just this once, just for you i will tell the tale...

Many of you probably have guesses: It was a balmy 75º today, I got to go running outside for the first time this year, I saw half an episode of 'the office.'" All good guesses, but today was the best day in the world because it was the day after TAX DAY. And no i didn't wait until April 15 at midnight to enter the swarms of procrastinators converging on the post office like a locust hoard obliterating all know civilization in their path. Nah, i did my taxes months ago. Free money! No I was absolutely thrilled that it was the day after tax day because today on my way to work Crazy Uncle Sam and Loco Lady Liberty were not standing on the street corner. You know what i'm talking about, that Tax agency which will remain unnamed(no free publicity for you), sends out these psychopaths to wave down traffic and try to distract drivers into their parking lot. Yes...Thank you TAX AGENCY that is exactly what we need. Lunatics flailing their various appendages and screaming at the top of their shrill lungs like the committed, trying to break my concentration from the road. I don't know if you noticed, but I'M TRYING TO DRIVE HERE! Oh and side note, NO ONE over the age of ELEVEN should EVER try and get a truck driver to honk his horn! This is a terrible idea in so many ways including making my ears bleed uncontrollably.
But JOY of all Joys your time has come you maniacal mascots. Go back to your regular job of who knows what, probably being that clown in the circus that makes all the children cry and say, "mommy *sniff* please get me a lobotomy so i can get the image of that creepy beast out of my poor little head".

So today, I am free to cruise the streets in peace and quiet for the next 8 months or at least until the orange barrels go up tomorrow morning and I'm stuck in hot sweaty gridlock all summer. And THAT is why it was the best day ever...
