Somewhere in the world, people are celebrating this day because the date happens only once every one hundred years. Don't they realize that that is the case for every date, every single day? Well, I rest my case. I have my own reasons for celebrating.
First is because it's Naruto's birthday. I'll gladly punch you in the face if you tell me that's a stupid reason for celebrating. No, don't even start. I'm not going to hear it. I still do celebrate my favorite anime characters' birthdays and I don't think I'm going to stop any time soon.
Second, it's because the date is so binary. The geek in me is telling me to celebrate my geekiness. I wonder how people reacted during 10/10/1010. My geek ancestors must have been ecstatic. Hahaha. 101010 is equivalent to 42 in binary. It's an ugly number, if you ask me, but it's divisible by 7 so I can tolerate it that much. And I just found out that 42 is supposedly "the answer to life, the universe and everything". Well, if you put it that way, that makes today special on a whole new level.
On an entirely philosophical note, though, sometimes I think it's better if people think in binary. I mean, not necessarily 1s and 0s but more of just two sides of a pole. Nothing in between. Just black and white, no gray areas. It would be easier that way. No unnecessary what ifs because you'll know exactly what will happen if you choose one over the other. But then again, that would be boring. I don't even know why I'm starting to think philosophically. It must be the date.
