I hate...

Friday, May 07, 2004

Hello, and welcome to my blog. I decided that I needed a way to get out a lot of the anger that resides in me. I thought this might be a good way to do it, considering I could let my friends read it too. Now, let me give a disclaimer. I use the word hate very freely. I strongly belive the Bible instructs me not to hate others, so I will try very hard not to use hate on individuals. However, I wil choose to use hate for certain situations, events, groups, and so on. So with that said, I'll start off the first one.

I hate holidays where the only reason for having it is to get drunk. Yes, I'm reffering to Cinco de Mayo, or in other words, May fifth. Yeah that's right, the fifth day of may is declared a holiday to where it is required by all to find their nearest mexican restaurant, bar, etc. in order to become drunk out of their minds. The day is a holiday to celebrate Mexico's freedom from France. What does that have to do with immense drinking? Oh wait, I get it, we're supposed to remember the past, but it's too painful so we should just drink ourselves into a happy state so that we forget the horrible oppression of the Mexican nation. That didn't make sense did it? Well neither does the holiday. I am all for having a day where we celebrate Mexico's resistance to France, because no doubt France wanted to move into America as well. I do not think it should be an American holiday though. Mainly because the only people pushing for it are the mass of college students who just want to be able to not have to work all day, taking away their precious time that they could be spending wasting their life away on the magical substance called alcohol. This also leads me to St. Patrick's day, the day to celebrate the Saint who went back to the land that captured him in order to spread the news of salvation. Someone must have thought, "Hey, maybe we can turn this into a drinking day too!" Then you can see the guinness beer commercial guys saying, "Brilliant! we can get drunk for a missionary. Brilliant!" I don't know about you, but I love those guys. The brilliant is pretty funny.
