Rant number 60
As doubtless you all will have noticed, today is February the 29th. That's one day more than there should be in February and one more day in the year - and thus, one extra bloody rant! It is also a subject of double annoyance because I quite forgot about this when I set this up. As such - it should be 365 rants, not 366 - which really messes with my chi!
I know that they make things a little bit neater for calendars and clocks and things - but its just annoying. I personally would prefer the extra couple of minutes a day - or whatever the hell it works out as!
As well as this, those among you who are salaried (which is pretty much everyone these days) will need to give up an extra day of your time for nought. Rubbish huh!?
It just isn't on, all this messing with the time malarky!
I don't think anyone has a particular love of leap year days. There is nout much special about today. Its just another day (which really is march 1st, but for some reason isn't.)
The only interesting traditional surrounding leap years is the whole women can propose to men thing. It's a bit different and quite nice really.
The truth is however, that we live in modern times - and women can go around proposing whenever they wish to do so.
So we've established really that no-one cares. This - surely is strictly not true though. Some people surely do care about Leap years.
The poor bastards born on February 29th. Imagine being 12 and only being 3 birthdays old! Its ludicrous and quite depressing. I'm sure for real that they probably celebrate on March 1st- but thats just not the point is it!
Leap years are just a bit rubbish really!
Rant over.
