The Monday Meme: Columbus Day

As many of you know, today was Columbus Day – a holiday set aside to honor the legend of Christopher Columbus – the man that “discovered America.” I say “LEGEND” as many have wised up to the way the Victorians romanticized the man, his actual motives, his actual deeds, and more importantly, the fact he is honored for things he never did. I frequently get angry people taking jabs at me because I refuse to honor the man, as there were many other European explorers that didn’t say things like: ” I could conquer the whole of them with fifty men, and govern them as I pleased.” We need to actually have a discussion about what Columbus Day actually means, because I don’t really see anything other than an excuse to have a day off from work.

I understand the importance of setting aside a day for Italian Americans to be proud of themselves and their heritage, but perhaps we should find another role model.

The Monday Meme: Co-Workers

Everyone has had that co-worker in the past that basically promotes themselves to supervisory level because they are a huge loudmouth. I’m so glad there isn’t much of that at my current job, VERY glad.

The Monday Meme: Tumbleweeds

Whether it be Star Trek or Red Dwarf, I always cringe a little bit when I see that a “theme episode”is coming up. At least Doctor Who has a central time traveling theme to make this less silly, but some shows really stretch to allow for such things. Western episodes are especially goofy in UK-based sci-fi, as they take all of the tired cliches that were mainstays decades ago and exaggerate them to a spectacular degree.

The Monday Meme: Dolls

It always cracks me up when someone gets all bent out of shape the moment someone slips up and refers to an “action figure” or “collectible figurine” as a “doll”. Then again, nerds and geeks always have something to whine about!

The Monday Meme: Lowered Standards

The Monday Meme: Improv

Sorry for the slight lack of updates lately! I actually got a promotion at work, and as a result had a shake-up in my schedule for a few days. Everything should be back to normal this week, as I should be able to do a few articles like normal. I hope everyone has a great week!

The Monday Meme: Doctors

Aside from going to the DMV, the most demoralizing thing one ever has to deal with is a routine doctor visit. I remember having to sit in a cold hospital room after my car accident last fall, only to have the doctor attempt to do nothing more than prescribe me ibuprofen.
