Although most of the country is taking the day off as Labor Day as a celebration of workers' achievements (and a promo for labor unions) it is also National Hummingbird Day and Blueberry Popsicle Day. I decided to kill too national days with on bird and make it National Hummingbird and Blueberry Popsicle Day. Because, after all, who really gives a shit?
I am starting to burn out on National Day Days. It has been fodder for some t-shirt designs, but seriously, I'm not sure anyone wants a t-shirt that honors a hummingbird eating a blueberry popsicle. And now that I have achieved 50 sales on teepublic.com I need to be a bit more discerning about what I promote in my t-shirt store. I posted the the Blueberry Popsicle eating Hummingbird on Instagram and hash tagged National Hummingbird Day and National Blueberry Popsicle Day and I noticed that they have less than a thousand posts. So I don't think this whole PR thing to promote Hummingbirds or Blueberry Popsicles are panning out. I can only imagine the number of posts Diatomaceous Earth Day got.
Besides, I worry the National Day Day trend is too trite to sustain as my new role of t-shirt design czar. I am afraid people are going to get bored with the designs and reading about them in my wildly popular blog. I'm famous right now for selling 50 things on teepublic.com (although honestly probably 10 of those things I bought myself). So I can't let my new found fame go to my head. I have to think about my readers and followers. I owe them something more than rehashing what the latest National Day Day is. I have to look for some new obsession to focus on for my designs.
Though I do feel sad I am not going to promote National Welsh Rarebit Day tomorrow even though Welsh Rarebit is basically toast with cheddar cheese on it. So it is an open faced toasted cheese sandwich.
Sounds like a cheesy excuse for a National Day Day to me.
