Some how I'm Keeping it Consistent.....Every Other Day: Project 365 (9-10/365)

I'm not good at posting my pictures everyday, but I seem great at posting every other day.  It's probably because I have a life every other day.

Day 9

A picture of me during Easter, though it was hot and that shirt came off quickly.  But as you see, I am sporting the new sling from the Miami hospital.  The other thing I'm sporting is the new hat and kicks from yesterday's post or two 

days ago, as well as a new outfit.  For right now, no one really c

ares.  I just decided to have fun with the most respectable picture from Easter.  That and it was the easiest to mess with.....no homo.  Anyways it was a lazy day of eggs and movies.  Not so much of rabbits, and I got lucky by not having a special guest appearence of Zombie Jesus.  Easter was a good day, mainly cause I got lots and lots of candy, and had a very lazy day.

Day 10 (Yay Double Digits)

So today was back to the books.  But today is also the tenth day of me keeping up with Project 365, so I'm semi-proud of myself.  Today's photos aren't anything special, unfortunately. I was waiting

 for one of the worst English classes from one of the worst English teachers around.  I won't ***** about him though, he'd ruin my half-*** celebration of day ten for Project 365.  I'm surprised that I actually go out of my way to think of pictures to take, which was one of my fears when I started this project.

Here's some conclusion that will not tie anything together, and it will not finish this post successfully, because I don't want it to.  I did notice that I'm digging the new fydor hat, might wear it all week, maybe not we shall find out.......

Happy Zombie Jesus Day!!!!!

It is the day of celebration of when Jesus rose from the dead.  This is known to many as Easter, but it is also known as Zombie Jesus Day, because Jesus rose from the dead.  Easter Sunday is always held two days after Good Friday and three days after Maundy Thursday, because it follows along the path of when Jesus died and was reborn (as a zombie) to walk out of his tomb miracuously.  To the die-hards of the Christian faith, Easter ends Lents and lasts forty to fifty days - depends who you argue with.  Now what I fail to understand is how you go from death and rebirth to a bunny that hides feminine colored eggs.

Easter was once simply a holiday to feast, as all great holidays start off - another Thanksgiving with a fancy name.  But soon it had its own mascot, Eostre, a goddess named after a month from the Germanic calendar.........no copy rights in the 8-900s.  Some where along the line, Easter's mascot became associated with hares and eggs.  Now how it does and why, I have not a clue, but even further down Eostre the Easter mascot changed into the Easter Bunny a half-naked white rabbit that scares young children and hides eggs.  Now Easter has become the day to go to church with your family, hunt for colored eggs that a rabbit stole and stashed away from you, then a feast.

My Thoughts on Easter (if they haven't already been put in):

Basically the candy companies have taken over Easter.  From Peeps, to candy Easter eggs, to the chocolate rabbits the candy franchises have cashed in every year.  The eggs just became a past time for people to do since Easter was a boring and kind of creepy holiday.  Come on, a holiday about the zombification of your savior, that could creep out many small children and some adults.  Some how the farmers who produce eggs said, "birth, re-birth: close enough," and brought eggs into the Easter equation.  At the same time, the mascot changed itself to a white rabbit that sits half-naked in it's throne in the mall. The only reason I can see the Easter bunny needing to be white, though I have ideas for changing that, is that if the Easter Bunny was brown or black the Easter Bunny would fit the stereotypes by stealing the rich white boy's eggs and stashing near by to come pick them up again.  Then Easter wouldn't be so innocent.  Then again, the Easter Bunny sitting in the malls is pretty menacing, scares many young kids, especially babies, being that it's probably the first costumed character without any pants on.  

Well Happy Easter or Happy Zombie Jesus Day which ever you prefer.

Thinking to Start Project 365.....or Shorten it to Project 52 (1/365 or 1/52)

Well more talk has come about the Project 365, and some times I end up having some really crazy pictures or just a fun day with lots of pictures.  So I figure I'll have my attempt at it.  If I miss a day no big deal, my Project 365 will then become Project 52, a picture per week!  And if I become even more lazy, or just that damn swamped with homework, plans, etc. I'll have my Project 12, every month!  It's ingenius and at almost every step there is a fall-back for it.

Today, I was with my family out at Bass Pro Shop for Easter activities - I'm still not quite too sure why rednecks and hunters only like certain holidays (such as they celebrate Christmas and Easter, yet not St. Patricks Day), but they do.  So there we are, my younger brother runs around the store looking for eggs.  If only I was younger, usually when you see someone my age running around a store you look for the person running after them, usually looking for a store cop.  But children 5 and under got a free pass to run around Bass Pro hunting for eggs, except you don't have to shoot the eggs or chase them.  Afterwards, outside there was lots of activities going on.  One of which I did participate within - Guitar Hero on a very large stage.  So I showed off my "badassness" of GH for everyone on my medium level.......but don't tell the audience that.  The picture of today is of my "badassness" on a very large stage for everyone to see.  It was fun, the only person of the day to complete an entire song.  Still wondering why Bass Pro sponsors certain holidays.

St. Patrick's Day!!!

Everyone should be ready for tomorrow/today (depending when you're reading this), because it's one of the few acceptable holidays where getting drunk in public isn't such a bad thing - as long as you're not an a******.  St. Patrick's Day, a time for the Irish, when the beer comes out, and the "Kiss Me" pins come to great use.  Young boys taste their first drink, or are inviting their friends over for drunken parties!  The bars should be packed for St. Patrick and whatever he did, but there's always a good reason to drink and be with friends.  And of course the time honored tradition of pinching the people who don't support the festive drinking.  I shall definitely par-take in these festivities, with fun and natural joy in the atmosphere it plans to be a good day.

Elf uprising against Santa Claus?

In my last post I put thoughts of Santa Claus being a slave master over his elves, but I didn't go into much detail besides mentioning it. So now it gets it's own post.
If Father Christmas is a slave owner over his elves then he isn't much of a saint now is he? The thought of it may cause laughter in some, but the issue is very serious. The moral we are teaching children of it's o.k. to enslave a society of people that are shorter than you, can withstand extreme temperatures, and have the diligence of Jamaican fingers; that moral isn't right, even the weird short people should be able to free, not kept only to Kris Kringle!
The movies have always shown what people want to believe of Santa's little workers: joyous, happy, excited to build toys for the children of the world, but I see the truth in it all... Santa keeps them enslaved to build toys for who he thinks are the good little boys and girls, which continues into a worse quality of dictatorship! and communism!
The big man has to have a red suit to keep the blood stains from showing, not because of some magical representation. The man in the blood stained suit is a slave owner, dictator, and communist, why should we all support him?
So I ask everyone to fight against Santa and his slavery of the elves, and if you are one of his slaves that just happened to escape to the internet for help and you found this post, comment a reply for help and we, the people in the real world will help in any way imaginable....

Ol' Saint Nick

There have been many tales of jolly ol' Santa Claus, but why did he become such a grand craze throughout the world? Santa Claus has been throughout the years a social icon, but did he climb through the ranks by ways of advertisement? sexual stigma? blackmail? or has the folklore behind him carried him through his years?

Some history on Santa Claus so you can know what I know and my point becomes clear.....
Santa History Santa History 2


From the sources given it seems pretty clear that folklore brought Kris Kringle some ways, but until about the 19th century when Americans brought capitalism a new outlook on advertising. Since then, there have been many songs, poems, and spin-off stories of the "jolly old elf". But is that why he stays alive in today's society?
Businesses use Father Christmas to bring along young blood to buy their products, and make it more irresistible by lowering prices, but does that drive the legend of the big man in the red suit? Parents take advantage of a child's behavior by black-mailing them that Santa won't come bring them presents for Christmas should they not behave - which gives them peace from Black Friday till December 26th. The sexiness factor of the man in the red suit is evident from such songs as "Santa Baby" and "I saw Mommy Kissing Santa".
I find Santa lives through such means, especially the black-mail of against little out-of-control kids. The tales created about Kris Kringle have simply been for entertainment purposes, as well as to make money.... But Santa Claus to me has many, many forms - from the sensual, "Come sit on Santa's lap", to the magical flying reindeer that stir sales at stores.

This is my basic outline of Santa Clauses

• Folklore of generous saint
  
• Advertisement to promote sales
• Black-mail to control "out-of-control" children (and so the parents have some sanity)
• Sex icon (Enzyme commercials & some suggestive songs)
• Entertainment
• Slave master (the only accepted form of slavery today)

Happy Thanksgiving

I believe Thanksgiving is essential for our culture. Not as a biological need - who needs 7000 more calories in their diet for a day, but as to prepare people for the next month. The timing of Thanksgiving cannot be more planned out and strategic, because once December hits all hell breaks loose. The holiday rush is on. They even have "Black Friday" the day after Thanksgiving, the best day of sales throughout the year!
The turkey and stuffing isn't to give you the "itis" and let be lazy for a day, it's to get you prepared to go out and fight for that last "Barbie" doll or "Nintendo Wii"! Eating turkey makes people tired for the most part, and most families eat lots and lots of food, maybe even a little alcohol consumption, this fills up people's stomach and sets people up to go to bed at 7 instead of 12 in the morning; allowing people to get the early rise to run to the stores and grab what they can for what the stores call a "low low price". Families stock up on fat so that they go on days without eating what they usually do, while they go run the stores for presents.
There is another reason for Thanksgiving, and as to why it's called Thanks-Giving. Morally people are preparing themselves to become the meanest and ugliest froms of themselves that is socially acceptable. Humanity would not be humane during the holiday rush if it were not for Thanksgiving. People must clean their slate with their conscience, which may be a god or friends and family, before they go out and fight for what they want to get other people. Every year the little ones learn to prepare themselves, and clean their moral slates so they can ask Santa for everything they desire.
The creators of Thanksgiving, whether it be the pilgrims or not, had a plan, possibly not this one, but they decided for good reasons to pick a day to eat a whole lot more, so for the next month they could work longer to give presents to their little ones, passing down the torch until today. We have mutated Thanksgiving to help us culturally to help pass the days of the holiday rush, where people are them worst selves.
