*Cue Monday Night Football Music

Garfield is great.

He loves lasagna. He loves to sleep. He is sarcastic. Plus, he hates mondays.

I also hate mondays.

Don't get me wrong, I am thankful for every day I am given. Wouldn't it be nice to skip mondays though?

Rise and shine. What a joke! I am not a morning person. I need 15 minutes of nothing when I wake up just to be able to carry on a conversation. How terrible is the one day of the week that follows to restful days? No one wants to go back to work.

I was once told of a guy who skipped every monday his senior year of high school. Give that man a klondike bar. One, because he's awesome. Two, because I don't really like klondike bars so it's ok to be short one.

I thoroughly enjoy espn's monday night football commercials. They always show the terrible things that we so often see on typical mondays, which sounds like a terrible commercial, but then they offer a slight ray of hope.

Monday Night Football.

Whoever had this idea was/is a genius.

The majority of people don't like mondays. Why not add football to the terrible day in an effort to make it better? Sure the matchups aren't always the best, but it's so awesome to be able to watch football while I study or finish up homework.

Did you notice the random 'it' in that last sentence?

"but it's so awesome..."

I once had an english teacher that hated the random it. She argued that a pronoun must have an antecedent, and that this pronoun was lacking in the area. I think that is stupid. I completely understand her point and that she must teach us rules of proper english. But isn't it more important to communicate than to use proper english?

My dad always told his speech professors that he was "a communicator, not a speaker." I am the same way. Before my speeches this semester I have been sure to remind my teacher of this fact.

The truth is that I like to speak in front of people. I love preaching. I love speaking to youth groups. I hate being graded on speeches. A "proper" speech does not connect with the audience the same way a good speaker does. A good speaker does his or her own thing to get on the audience's level.

I really hate being graded on speeches on mondays...
