Happy Easter!

Here I sit, counting down the seconds until summer vacation, wondering why the hell there's snow collecting on the ground on freaking April 8th.

So here's the thing. Easter, like any other religious holiday, will inevitably cause somebody to say, in response to an innocent "Happy Easter," "I am offended by that." Now, my problem is not that a lot of people don't celebrate the holidays held by my particular religion. I don't care what you believe. That's your business. My problem is that, honestly, I don't believe that most people who say that are actually offended by that. I mean, if someone wished me a happy Chunnukah (sp), I would thank them. When a few of my friends went to Mecca recently for Hajj, I wished for (dare I say, prayed for) them to have a good trip. If you're genuinely offended when I wish you a Merry Christmas, then that's completely fine. My bad. But if you're just saying that for the sake of being disagreeable, then go stick your head in the microwave. News flash: attacking other people's beliefs doesn't make you more righteous with regards to your own.

Heh, I love it when I get bitter. Pachelbel's Canon played on guitar... listen to it. Props to JerryC.
