POST NUMERO 25: October Calendar, and a bunch of Useless Knowledge

GOOOOO PINK!!!
FIGHT THE FIGHT!!!
OCTOBER IS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH!!
TALES FROM THE BOTTOM OF A SHOT GLASS IS GOING PINK!!!!

Alright so October is a huge month filled with really important days, things, and such (and I am being only HALF sarcastic when I say that.)
Firstly, this month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month which is a cause that is very near and dear to my heart. Yes, ladies and gentlemen.... I do have a heart. So readers…I challenge you to do what you can and spend some time on showing you can help fight the fight! Do it for you, for someone who may have been affected by breast cancer, for their families, and for the future... DO SOMETHING!! It is so simple to give back to the cause... So NO excuses on this one...
It may not just be donating money or volunteering but just go give something back on a real human level.  Give back to someone by dropping off some food at a friend’s house. Or this one is nice…go rent some DVDs or let someone who could use some relaxation borrow your Netflix accountant. Help someone by driving them to an appointment and then just sitting around trying to help them find the crappiest mind numbing magazine in the office. Be a shoulder to cry on, be a pillar of strength, and just make a funny gift basket filled with crap that someone would like. Many women whom who have been affected and there families fall into a terrible rut so sometimes distractions are great (I have went through this first hand). Give the person something to do during treatment sessions. Think  comfortable!!
Think  awesome!!
And Give a little Bit!!
BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH...GET INVOLVED WITH THE CAUSE!

What else…
When you think about the month of October do Halloween parties, costumes, and trick-or-treating come to mind? OF COURSE THEY DO, because at the end of October is Halloween…so lets start planning our costumes now…I am debating over two choices…
Hmmmmm…..So yes, October 31st is a big day for some… IT IS HALLOWEEN…I am going to make a “Sloppopotamus Post” Halloween version post…so look out for that coming up…
It is National Marigold Month (Marigold is also the Flower of October)
Columbus Day Was on October 12th. It is the Day where Italian Americans get a parade and the announcers butcher the language to crap…
PLUS OCTOBER IS ITALIAN HERITAGE MONTH! (whoop whoop)…

Then of course…some lesser known knowledge and observances of October..
October is Book Month (Go to your library…pick up a book…an actual book…find a shady spot…and read the hell out of it!)
October is Dental Hygiene Month (I freaking LOVE brushing my teeth)
October is Dessert Month (The irony of this…mixing Dental Hygiene and Dessert)
October is Fire Prevention Month (I am actually a Big fan of fire…so….not so big on the “prevention” of it...)
October is Pizza Month (WHAT WHAT!! Yum)
October is Popcorn Poppin' Month (love all popcorn…except Kettle Corn…Kettle Corn is terrible)

Anyway, Here is the calendar:

In case you are wondering...yes, that is the Devil's actual child...

ANYWAY,
more posts coming soon, Keep Reading!
CHEERS, SALUTE, CHIN CHIN!!

Post Numero 34: It is (almost) October




Ok…so…IT IS OCTOBER!!!! (almost October...but the excitement is overwhelming me...2 hours left till it is officially October her in this part of the world)
And readers…who are you kidding…EVERYONE loves October!
Think about it.  With the exception of the freak chill happening, the weather is gorgeous. (Even though for the past two Octobers we have been through two MAJOR blizzards…but let us not think about that now).  In October the leaves turn colors and the scenery matches.  If you're an outdoorsy type, there are limitless options for outdoor festivals, hiking and most anything else one might do that doesn't include air conditioning (drinking outside, hiking outside with drinks, bad decision outside with fun time).  If you are a sports fan, football season hits full swing, hockey season begins and the World Series drama unfolds.  The cultured among us can enjoy a new season of symphony and opera, and even the couch potato is finally freed from summer reruns. And of course LOTS OF “FALL-CAHOL”!

No matter who you are and what you like, there's something great about October. 

Then a cherry on top of the major awesome "monthification", Halloween caps off the month, which is one of the few light hearted days that present a rare opportunity for adults to use their imaginations to find a creative costume, go to a party and act like children for a night in our otherwise stuffy, overworked, miserable, blech, work year. and of course I repeat October is a GREAT TIME for “FALL-cahol”

Everyone wins. 

I love October. 

I will put up a calendar post soon
3 posts in one day, with more coming soon…whoa!
Cheers, Saluti, Chin Chin!!!
