Yes, you read that correctly. February 14th is Arizona Day, commemorating the entrance of the 48th State, my home State, to the United States in 1912. For those paying attention, that makes this February 14th Arizona's Centennial.
Now, my feelings about that OTHER holiday on February 14th are well known (in a word: blech), but I thought I would be a more positive guy this year and celebrate Arizona Day in style. I have already ordered an Arizona Centennial shirt (seriously), and am in the process of ordering miniature Arizona state flags. Why? So I can hand them out on the street in commemoration of Arizona Day, of course.
My friend Little Red may join me in this endeavor. While she has never been to Arizona herself, her feelings on that other holiday are the same as mine. Though since she has a boyfriend this year, she may just be a wench and go to the Dark Side.
Either way, I have major plans of fucking with people's heads by doing this, possibly even handing out copies of the Arizona Constitution, or maybe the official proclamation of its Statehood, if I can find it. (Just thought of that, actually.) That would be cool.
I should point out to those who don't know that I live in south FLORIDA. Over 2,000 miles from Arizona. Makes things even more confusing for people, don't ya think?
Amusingly, I have run into people who argue with me, saying no, it's not Arizona Day, and they start looking it up on their smart phones....only to find out that I am absolutely correct. Boy, is THAT fun!
So, would anyone like to join me in this? Or does anyone have any ideas that would make my Arizona Day more Zony? Please, help me mark this important holiday in style!
