It's Aaron Rodgers Day, so let's celebrate
Technically, we live history every day. There has never been another day like the one we're currently in. But, doing what we do on some random Thursday is kind of mundane. There's no excitement, no juice.
Today is different, though. It's Dec. 12, 2012. It's an historic date better known as 12-12-12, which is better known as Aaron Rodgers Day here in Wisconsin.
What better way to celebrate the last consecutive date in our lifetimes? Yes, all of our lifetimes – you can't really assume that any child born today will live to 100, not with all this stuff going on.
So let's celebrate Aaron Rodgers Day. The MVP. The Champ. The Discount Double Check. The sensitive one. The greatest Wisconsinite not born or permanently living in Wisconsin of all time. Awesome.
If you celebrate it the right way, be sure to get in touch with the Style Network and maybe you can get yourself on TV for a Cheesehead-centric reality show.
Of course, if you feel the world will end in nine days, then this is all moot anyway.
