#BlueMonday is trending today - 2 haiku
It is "Blue Monday"
Saddest Day of the Year they
Say-but i LIKE blue!
Cool, bright Blue sky day
In January, above
freezing counts as warm
And today, totally unknowing the odd designation of the day according to the Internet, we have a
BLUE Tongue Skink as Pet of the Day
A kitty with a BLUE hat for Cat of the Day
and even
A Golden Retriever with a BLUE and gold neckerchief for Dog of the Day!
Who knew? ;)
I was born on 'Blue Monday'. I resented the college e-mail I received last week telling me to be cheerful on "such a dreary day'. :p
But at least you fit the "Monday's child is fair of face" whereas I do not fit the "Wednesday's child is full of woe" from the old nursery rhyme!Quote:

I had to look that up on Wikipedia to find out just what "Blue Monday" is and why today is it.
Here's what I found out (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Monday_(date)):
---------->
Blue Monday is a name given to the Monday of the last full week of January, purported to be the most depressing day of the year as part of a 2005 publicity campaign by Sky Travel.
The concept is considered pseudoscience,[1] with its formula derided by scientists as nonsensical.
-----------------
Then it gives more details on the history and shows some formulas (pseudoscientific, I assume) used to compute the date.
Actually today wasn't so depressing compared to some days last week, when it was MUCH colder. That depresses me no end!
I've never heard of this.:confused: I guess now I know why I had a crappy day today.:D
