watup guys, i had some free time and i thought i'd make a quick post.
Yesterday was Halloween and my little brother brought home so much candy that he actually asked me to help him eat it. amazing. As fun as rick-or-treating is, Halloween is one of those messed up holidays that should not exist and would not exist, if it weren't for America. For example, Colombus Day. This guy discovered America... but not really. He wasn't looking for America, and even if he was, the Vikings discovered it like 500 years before. He was looking for India - which is why we say cowboys and indians rather than cowboys and americans. ridiculous, no? One stupid Italian gets lost at sea and hundreds of thousands of people are misnamed for eternity. Not only were they misnamed, but also massacred because of all the diseases and crap that colombus brough with him. And they enslaved the "Indians" and used them for target practice until they brought a few back and the church decided they were humans. way to go. Then they made them become Catholic. Stupid Spaniards. Colombus died in prison, still thinking he had discovered India. And that's why we have Colombus Day. Now there's a nice happy story, eh?
As for Halloween, now this is especially retarded, it was originally started by the Celts, because they believed that all the dead people came up on that day. Then the pope, some looong time later, decided to come up with a time to honor a bunch of saints and it ended on the original Celtic holiday, so that day was named Hallow's eve, meaning holy evening. Then we got lazy and started saying halloween and in 1962, Party CIty was about to go out of business and they came up withtrick-or-treating so people would buy costumes. yep. that's the way it happened
the bell just rang. i've got to go.
