Change your name & blame someone else

February 13 is Change your name day, so if you don't like the name your parents gave you now is the time to change it. Friday, February 13, is the first Friday the Thirteenth in 2009 so it is also Blame Someone Else Day. The first Friday the Thirteenth in any year is Blame Someone Else Day.

Today you can change your name and blame someone else, which give changing your name an entirely different prospective. I'm not sure who comes up with all these weird and intriguing holidays, but today it's someone else's fault. Maybe I need to come up with an interesting holiday. Something that the greeting card people could use and everyone else could enjoy without actually having to buy a greeting card. After all, a person feels sort of guilty not buying or sending a greeting card on a holiday, even if that holiday is off the wall and weird. How about Don't Feel Guilty if You Don't Send a Greeting Card Day.
