Invented Holiday - Fuck All Day
*sticks a flag in*
I claim this day International Fuck All Day. A day all persons need badly, especially in these modern times. Today is a day to not get anything constructive done. Today is a day to go out and sit on the lawn, and do nothing. Today is a day to throw off the oppressive and soul-draining shackles of To Do Lists, Errands, and "I Should Really Get Up And..." thoughts. Today is a day, to be free.
The esteemed Eddie Izzard is our mascot. You are encouraged to wear makeup and/or heels today, but it is not required. At least one reference to him is required, however, complete with impersonation. Everyone loves the voices.
What can you do on International Fuck All Day (or iFAD for you Mac users)? Anything you want. As long as you want to do it, and not should do it. It's all about intention. If you have to go to great lengths to get nothing accomplished, but you do it in a relaxed and lazy manner, you're on the right path. Today's mantra and motto is, "Take 'er Easy."
In the spirit of this, I have made a list of approved activities. But in no way is this comprehensive. More like guidelines than actual rules. Yarr.
As I said, this is just a rule of thumb, to serve as an example. An e.g. if you will. Which someone told me is Latin for something.
I kind of lost my train of thought there.
So... yeah. Don't do anything today. Practice not-forcing. Don't even make a plan. Just do things as they pop into your head. Take 'er easy, my friends. Take 'er easy.

- Movie and TV watching. Extra points for simply sitting and listening to music while doing nothing else.
- Reading, as long as it's not work/homework related.
- Laying down in various places of your home. Extra points for the floor.
- Reading webcomics
- Drawing/painting/writing, as long as it is not work/homework related.
- Aimlessly surfing the Internets. Either one.
- Eating. Extra points for each irregular meal and/or strange food combo.
- Walking around, as long as you aren't trying to get somewhere for any productive reason.
- Lovins. As long as you're not trying to produce anything.
- Napping. Multiple naps are encouraged in the middle of any activity for extra points.

My weekend of "nothing" did not work out. I hope that your holiday is an international internet success.
