Groundhog Day in Apartment 310

As you all know, today was a very special day, the celebration of a glorious tradition that has been handed down for centuries. IT"S GROUNDHOG  DAY!!! 


WooHoo!!

If you really think about it though, groundhog day is probably one of the dumbest holiday's there is. Even dumber than Columbus Day or Hooray-A-Man-Made-A-Wrong-Turn-And-Destroyed-An-Entire-Indigenous-Civilization-Day or  April fools aka A-Long-Time-Ago-A-Bunch-Of-People-Acted-Stupid-To-Get-Out-Of-Paying-Taxes-Like-Responsible-Citizens-Day. Groundhog Day should really be called Hey-Look-An-Unattractive-Furry-Creature-Is-Doing-Normal-Furry-Creature-Stuff-And-We're-Going-To-Pretend-He-Can-Tell-The-Future-Because-We're-Dumb-Politicians-With-Nothing-Better-To-Do-Day.


Despite the idiocy of the tradition, my apartment decided to host an epic Groundhog Day party. We invited our whole floor over, fed them delicious brownies, and then performed a re-enactment of the Groundhog seeing his shadow; complete with a fake groundhog, and a motivational speech proclaiming that there are only six weeks until spring! Then we explained to one of our chromosomally challenged neighbors that it didn't really matter if the groundhog saw his shadow or not. Either way, Spring is equally far away. Plus the groundhog is only 19% effective.


Have a great Groundhog Day everyone! I hope it was a ludicrous and ridiculous as mine was!!!
