Today's Reason to Celebrate

February 17, 2010 was

My Way Day

Did your mother ever used to tell you when you were a teenager that the world does not revolve around you? Well today it does!

Today is My Way Day, the official day to do everything your way. Sleep in late, eat whatever you want, and take the longest, hottest shower that you can stand. Whatever you decide to do, make sure that no one else influences your decision and do everything simply just because you want to do it (but make sure it's legal first).

There a lots of events that occurred throughout history on this day. In 1867, the first ship passed through the Suez Canal. In 1933, Newsweek magazine was published for the first time. In 1996, NASA orbited and landed on an asteroid for the first time ever.

All of these events were able to occur because someone had a brilliant idea and followed through on it, their way. Today is also the birthday of Paris Hilton, who is notorious for wanting to do everything her way. So don't be afraid to express your ideas today, stand up for what you believe in, and do everything your own way!
