Tomorrow is a half day.
This day in History:
- 1752 - The British Empire adopts the Gregorian calendar, skipping eleven days (September 2 was followed directly by September 14 this year)
- 1814 - Francis Scott Key writes The Star-Spangled Banner
- 1959 - The Soviet probe Luna 2 crashes onto the Moon, becoming the first man-made object to reach it.

Today is a pretty important day in history, I love the Star-Spangled Banner, it being my national anthem. I'm a pretty patriotic person and it makes me mad to see people butcher the national anthem. Like on the video announcements at school. They kill it by playing stupid Beyonce Knowles' crappy Superbowl performance. She can't sing. Period. The travesty that is video announcements does not end there announcers are unprofessional, they have stupid presentations that no one bothers to edit, bad music, and technical difficulties every day. If I were in charge I could whip their sorry asses into shape. Choir would sing the anthem, announcers would be more professional, sit up straight, and would stop SWAYING IN THEIR GODDAMN SWIVEL CHAIRS! That annoys me to no end. Less cheesy effects and bad music, sometimes simple is better. Oh well, I'm too lazy to actually help, so I guess I don't have a right to complain.
