About Me

My photo
Hello my fellow Politiores Troglodytes. This Blog is a collection of Posts, Poems, & Short Stories that I write on a daily basis. If you find it entertaining, informative, and controversial, then I have done my job properly. Thank goodness too, because Karma has been on my case of late. I'm supposed to bring fifty people into the fold or I'll have to give back the part of Einstein's brain I inherited. No, I'm not one of the Scientists who got a piece of his brain when he died. Karma said, "Eat this knowledge. It'll make you smarter!" The bargain I made with Karma was, if I could change fifty people into Politiores Populos, I would be rewarded with my very own Lamborghini. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Like what you're reading, then read on. P.S. Populo is Latin for people. Politiores is Latin for educated. Troglodytes is English for troglodytes. And Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Stoltz Harvey after his death in 1955 and eventually divvied up into 240 pieces. If you just read that last sentence, then you have just learned something and I'm just that much closer to fulfilling my commitment to Karma!

Yes Tuesdays

We have all heard it a thousand times before.
People say,
"I hate Mondays!"
Well,
I don't hate
Mondays,
I really distaste
Tuesdays!
Yes
Tuesdays.
With it smug little attitude,
knowing you have to get through it's day before you get to
"Hump Day."
Which is officially known as
Wednesday.
I am telling you,
Tuesday
is laughing at you,
behind your back,
because it knows it is much harder to get through,
as any
Monday.
And who are these
Norse
people,
who got to name this day of the week?
Here,
I will let
explain it.
Then you might be inclined to distaste
Tuesdays
as much as I do.
"Tuesday is a day of the week occurring after Monday and before Wednesday. According to some commonly used calendars, it is the third day of the week. According to international standard ISO 8601, however, other calendars have it as the second day of the week. The English name is derived from Old English Tiwesdæg and Middle English Tewesday, meaning "Tīw's Day", the day of Tiw or Týr, which is the god of single combat, victory, and heroic glory in Norse mythology. Tiw was equated with Mars in the interpretatio germanica, and the name of the day is a translation of Latin dies Martis."
Confused yet?
You need not be.
Who cares if,
"Tuesday is associated with the planet Mars and shares that planet's symbol, . As Mars rules over Aries and Scorpio, and these signs are also associated with Tuesday."
Or if,
"The Latin name dies Martis ("day of Mars") is equivalent to the Greek ἡμέρα Ἄρεως. In most languages with Latin origins (Italian,[3] French,[4] Spanish,[5] Catalan,[6] Romanian,[7] Galician,[5] Sardinian,[8] Corsican,[9] but not Portuguese[10]), the day is named after Mars, the Ancient Greek Ares Ἄρης ."
 And really,
does anybody believe that
Tuesday
is on fire?
"In Japanese, the word Tuesday is 火曜日(ka youbi), meaning 'fire day' and is associated with 火星 (kasei): Mars (the planet), literally meaning "fire star". Similarly, in Korean the word Tuesday is 화요일 (hwa yo il), also meaning fire day."
So gather up some sticks,
so we can feed the fire,
that burns the whole day down!
That way,
we will get to
Hump Day
that much quicker,
which means we will get to the weekend faster too!
 
This is,
You Know I Am Pulling For You
We Are All In This Together
Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“Why does February feel like one big Tuesday?”
- Todd Stocker -

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
