HAPPY PATRIOT DAY!

Saturday, September 11, 2004

Happy Patriot Day! The day when we all celebrate the glad tidings of the felling of two of the largest structures ever erected, killing thousands in the process. Wait a minute... that's a bad thing.
Why would you make a holiday for something so terrible? And what kind of card do you buy for that? It's not a real holiday, anyway. It isn't a real holiday until I get paid more for working on it.

Link Of The Moment: I'll have extra cheese on mine, please. That site is sad, and not the crying kind of sad. It's a touching tribute to the memory of those who died on that terrible day - featuring pictures of the plane hitting the tower. Remembrance of those lost is best not spurred by images of the actual tragedy that took their lives. Kinda like how the primary symbol of christianity is the very object jesus was nailed to, and the object on which he suffered terribly, endured pain beyond what most people will ever know, and died. I think christianity oughta have something a little less tragic to base the religion around. In that vein: I watched parts of The Movie Of The Passion Of The Christ, which I downloaded off The Internet. That's a really really violent movie. Bloody and nasty and just painful. They emphasize the suffering and the horrible pain Jesus endured. The last half of the movie is Jesus getting a red-assed beatdown from the Romans, and the first half is the jews saying "Somebody oughta give that Jesus guy a red-assed beatdown." - only in aramaic, because nobody speaks english in that movie. Not a movie to take kids to, especially if you want them to grow up to still be christians.

Music Of The Moment: "311 Sucks!" by Anal Cunt. They parody some crappy song by 311, mumbling the lyrics, and then at some point the singer screams "YOU FUCKIN SUCK!" at the top of his lungs. Quality.
