National Joe Day.

(via Joemygod)

We here at Spatagram are committed to the publicizing of silly holidays. In fact Melonball Thursday is right around the

corner. It's just before the Resurrection if you track the days on a calendar sold by the your local Church. In the vain of Melonball Thursday and International Talk Like a Pirate Day

comes National Joe Day. Evidently today has nothing to do with a penchant for coffee. Today has to do with shaking off your old name for whatever reason and go by the nam

e Joe.

Wake up on March 27 and introduce yourself to everyone as Joe. If you are a girl, Joe is short for your old name. If you are a boy, Joe is short for your old name as well. You are a new person. You are no longer strapped down to

that name you have been carrying around all these years. Throw off the old name and become Joe for a day. Make a journal entry talking about your feelings about your own name. People always attach meaning to certain names and when you don't fit those meanings, it leaves you wanting something else. Here is your day to

express who you think you are. Record it in a journal.

Now doesn't that sound intriguing. I once told an entire playground that my name was Paul, using my middle name to see how it made me feel. I also studied how it sounded in the air. And whether or not I could remember it when my name was called. I grew a new experiment on the heels of the Facebook surge of users changing their middle name to 'Hussein' to desensitize the word. I

added 'Rocco' as a middle name for Rocco DiSpirito, whom I have a very embarassing crush on. It was post election and people were done making statements and filling spaces for rent with Silliness. I don't shy away from the Silly, I walk hand in fin in it. I throw it a fish whenever do-able. I now get mail to Tony Rocco. It's changed my Life. Paul still exists but only for those that really know me. But in that vein today I unleash my Joe on the planet. Just Joeing ya here. I'm making dinner reservations under the name Joe.
