Today's The Day

C'mon everybody. Let's do this.

Contact your Congressman, your senator, your premier, your divine leader, the Pope, the Dali Llama, the Queen, the Prime Minister, your boss, your Ceo, your husband, your wife, your President, Hillary Clinton, Paul McCartney, Lady Gaga, your professor, LeBron, the guy next door, all your friends on Facebook.....everybody you know and do it NOW...today...this second.

Today needs to be a national,international. inter-planetary, intergalactic holiday.

Today we celebrate collaboration, rebellion, popularity, light, cameras, action, peace, friendship, metaphor, courage, make believe, all of the good things that unite us as humans, citizens, extra-terrestrials,starchildren, and most of all film lovers.

Citizen Kane, John Wayne, Meryl Streep, Spielberg, Brando, Hepburn, Davis, Crawford, Yoda, Luke, Leia everybody including the unexplainably not yet famous collection of brilliances that we call our friends as well as those we temporarily call our enemies.

It's a tremendous week for celebration.

In the South it's not too hot.

In the North it's not too cold.

The grass is blue in Kentucky

Hockey, basketball, baseball, horse racing, golf and the omni-present NFL are all in the news.

Mayday, Cinco De Mayo and Saturday's Run for the Roses. All happening this week and right smack dab in the middle...wait for it....

Today is May 4th.

May the fourth be with us on this day.

When you stop in for your scratch off at the 7/11, tell the cashier "May the fourth be with you.

Tell everybody today.

It might take a second but whomever you say this to today will eventually catch on and respond "and with you"

Nobody has to worry about secularity, atheism, agnosticism.

And, how about a day off.

Damn it we all work hard enough.

This is bigger than the Super Bowl.

Bigger than Beatlemania.

It is the metaphor almost everyone can relate to.

Let's all go to a movie or watch one on teevee today. Let's sit in a dark room with strangers. Let's pop some corn. Fire up a sound track

Let's be strong and resist evil.

Let's celebrate Edison, Lumierre, Kael, Kodak,and Einstein.

We may be a tiny blue speck but today let's shine.

We all shine on

May the Fourth be with us.
