Book of Daze Reconsider a Rash Decision Day

Since then Book of Daze Reconsider a Rash Decision Day has become recognized by therapists, impulse buyers, and anyone who’s ever sent a risky text at 2:47 a.m.
Halvorsen, whose legal name is still Yanni Mandela due to clerical resistance and what he calls “divine karmic trolling,” holds the unofficial title of Patron Saint of Regret. He celebrated its first annual observance by attempting to return a new tattoo, a decision he also regretted.
