Calendars are dumb. Think about the length of months: first, January is 31 days. Just like March, May, July, August, October and December. February is 28 days. None of the other months are. All other months are, of course, 30 days.
Stupid.
Why don't we make a more fun calendar?
My proposal is to create a new calendar, which contains 13 months, each consisting of 28 days. As thirteen times twentyeight is threehundredandsixtyfour, one or more additional days are required for keeping up with the rotation of the Earth. To not bother anyone, and to have no irregularities to account for in regular planning using my calendar, these will be out-of-month days. They shall be bank holidays.
I've put together a quick reference of all of the rules of my calendar:
- There are 13 months of 28 days.
- The first day of each month is called a Ruby.
- The first day of the first month begins the day after winter solstice.
- The days between (13,28) and (1,1) are bank holidays.
- The months are named as follows:
- Anna
- Bob
- Charlie
- Dwayne
- Ellie
- Felix
- Gaylord
- Hannah
- Iosef
- Jesse
- Kleopatra
- Lisa
- Mario
- The weeks are named as well. These names are the same for every week.
- Nicholas
- Ollie
- Polly
- Quin
- Each week has, in fact, seven days.
- Ruby
- Sjonnie
- Thatcher
- Unc
- Vlad
- Wolff
- Xen
- As there is also something called time, these definitions shall be followed:
- When the sun is brightest, that is Yasmine.
- Precisely twelf hours later, that is called Zenyatta.
