Well, here it is, about 7:30 am on Labor Day weekend...and I'm up. First off, what the hell, why am I up? Secondly, let's talk a bit about this holiday, because it's actually a pretty cool one, because other than getting an extra day to drink and party. This is a day dedicated to the everyman, the worker, the average joe, what have you.
This day was dedicated to those people who work their butts off every day in whatever field they do, whether it is being a bank teller, a gas station attendant, a sewer technician...seriously, this is a day to celebrate everyone who works for a living (which is pretty much everyone, unless you're a trust fund baby, in which case you're really lucky).
As for me, I thank everyone who works all of those jobs that I don't want to do; you know, working as a plumber, an electrician...the people who make living better for the rest of us, to quote Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs.
I salute all of you. Keep doing what you're doing.
Until then, enjoy this awesome clip of 40 inspirational speeches in 2 minutes. Yupp, you read right. 40 speeches. In 2 minutes. It's magic.
