Happy Tuesday... Er... Wednesday

Guess what, kiddies? It’s Tuesday! Y’know what that means? That’s right, blog day on Ballyhoo! As I sit here blissfully munching on a frozen Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup and listening to the heavenly melodies of the London Symphony Orchestra on my computer, I find myself wondering what kind of wisdom I could bestow on you today.


Of course my dear readers would not want to hear about the daily tedium of my life. How yesterday dragged on, despite some odd encounters with some people I’m sure were on drugs. How while walking barefoot outside, I managed to step on something sharp and now I walk with an awkward limp. Nor how I found some adorable jars and I’m planning to start a little jar garden along the side of my house. No, these moments hold no wisdom for you dear readers, so I will kindly skip over them.


Speaking of Tuesday though, I’m currently reading this cute little book called the Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff. The book tries to describe Taoist principles through that lovable little character, Pooh Bear, and his pals. Being a childhood fan of Pooh Bear and also being easily intrigued by foreign religions/ways of life, I often found myself thumbing through this book in the back of my local Borders book store. Well I finally bought it on Saturday and I’m glad I did. The reason I say “Speaking of Tuesday” is that there is a chapter in the book called Spelling Tuesday. The purpose of this chapter is to explain that how Tuesday is spelled is not important, not even the fact that it is Tuesday is important. No, what’s important is that today is today, and today is very important indeed. So, forget how Tuesday is spelled. Is it Twosday? Or Toosday? Who cares anyways? Enjoy today, because today is always beautiful. Happy Tousday everybody!


Yes, I know it’s Wednesday. I wrote this post yesterday morning, and as the day went on I found myself with less and less time to actually post it. Before I knew it I had fallen asleep on my English textbook, with only 3/4 of my homework done, and an unposted blog entry. So you get it today, on Wednesday, whatever.
