Holidays are Hell for Bloggers

"Now I don't know if it's right or it's wrong,
But maybe it's the only way,
To talk about our Revolution-
It's Independence Day."
- Martina McBride, "Independence Day"


It's the July 4th weekend, and the number of visitors who frequent my site has dropped precipitously. Which is normal. It happens every time a large portion of the population gets a holiday.

I suppose they're doing "normal" stuff- spending time with families, hanging out outside, just generally wasting time.

How dare they?

Doesn't everyone know by now that the point of living is to work your life away until you're dead? It has to be, because it's certainly not to establish meaningful human connections. That's heresy.

So enjoy your time and sunshine, workers, for Wednesday we'll all scurry back into our gloomy little offices and perform our dreary roles.

Until the next holiday, that is.
