Take the good with the bad
Did you ever think it would be really cool to have a holiday named after yourself? I did. After all, who doesn't admire people like George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, or Martin Luther King. Yes, Lincoln and Washington are now combined in their own day, but you get the picture.
Yeah, there's some days that are maybe a little more controversial, like Columbus Day. He discovered America, but it also blamed for all kinds of ills, like the slaughter of the Native Americans, pestulance, greed... 1492: Conquest of Paradise. Then there's Pulaski Day. With all due respect, w.t.f.? I'm Polish and proud, but this thing is needless.
But I digress. Back to having my own holiday. Osgood Day. It has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? I don't know what I could accomplish to get my own holiday, but it has to be something big. However, there's some downside. I'll probably have to be dead before I get my own holiday, so I won't be able to enjoy it. I also fear my holiday might get cheapened. Do you really want your holiday to be the occasion for a mattress sale? Yeah, I think I'll pass. If Columbus knew what was in store for him, he'd have turned the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria right around.
