Useless Holidays


This topic is one of my most strange, but if I'm in the mood, you'll be hearing me slam all manner of days in the year that needn't be. And that's what this is about - days in the year that really needn't be. Why? Well, what the fuck, don't ask me, ask George Washington who lead an army to victory, became the first President, died, and then has a day named after him. Then some weirdo goes about to make it some sort of holiday.

Holidays. Now that's a good word, especially when you�re a student, you're at work, or better yet - both. Get that little bugger off! 'Course, not if you're stuck at a liberal school, then they'll pretend like Christopher Columbus never had no birthday. They'll give you some Mexican's birthday off instead, the guy who's named after a salad.

Anyway.

In America, there are too many goddamned days. There are too many goddamned little strips of text on my calendar's little boxes. It's never just August 18th, it's got to be August 18th, First Day of YTRWFYTFDSGHKASF Solstice, or some shit. Seriously. Pissing me off. I want clean little boxes for which I can write down my goddamned plans, not to be taken up with some mindless holiday some drunkard went ahead and declared.

In America, there are too many goddamned holidays and they piss me off. Now I�m not just talking those goddamned holidays and special days that no one�s every heard of before or cares about. I'm talking Cinco de Mayo, I'm talking St. Patrick's Day. Fucking... no one is really Irish in goddamned America! Don't even GIVE me that crap that you're part Irish and shit... FUCKING BULLSHIT! IT IS NOT A GODDAMN EXCUSE FOR YOU TO CELEBRATE IT AND GET DRUNK. And EVERYONE is goddamned Mexican where I come from, so� hell, get drunk and show the stupid whitey Americans who's boss.

Every stupid in the world uses every goddamned day as an excuse to get drunk. Cinco de Mayo, birthdays, Fourth of July, New Year's, and especially St. Patrick's. That is my BIGGEST source of annoyance. People keep using the little text on their calendars as excuses for them to get smashed early in the day, or have some stupid frat party and sing about your dumbassness. The most you people probably know about the Irish is the import Guinness beer in your hand and the Irish jigs in Titanic.

I write this in honour of my impending birthday.

Easter too is so damned boring. The guy died, alright? A LOOOONG fucking time ago. It's not like we celebrate the day Mount Vesuvius erupted or Alexander the Great's birthday. But you know, I think if that was made a holiday, I'd pick up a beer and get shit-faced too.



The only days I really actually appreciate are Mother's Day and Father's Day. Sure they get in the way of my weekend plans, but your parents are NEVER going to get presents or appreciation unless they have a whole goddamn day dedicated to them. And the best part? "Why isn't there a Kid's Day?" you ask you parents. And their response? "Every day is Kid's Day!" No fucking way, I'd've had a PSP by now.

/...end.
