Black Thanksgiving?!MeaningCategory: holidays
So I admit I meant to write this on Friday or Thursday would have worked but somewhere kinda ran out of time....
Thanksgiving is less then a week away and no so it Black Friday... Now in Buffalo there is the huge drinking holiday the day Or I should say the night before thanksgiving and well it might as well be Christmas it shows up quicker then the paychecks sometimes.....
Now there are some Holidays like Thanksgiving and Columbus Day... Yes you could put Christmas in there as well that have a dark side.... There are sayings like "Keep the Christ in Christmas"... That believe it or not is a really good point... See Halloween isn't this evil holiday where we praise the dead and ask souls to take over our unborn babies.... What Holidays are is what behavior we do.... So Halloween is about dressing up as someone you aren't and taking the persons persona and yeah getting candy. Now of course if you go out and get a medium and sit in a cemetery then that is what the holiday means to you..... I think this is true of all Holidays.... If I had NFL Network thanks giving would be a 3 football game day for me! If say Just Pizza had a plate you could order with 7 slices of turkey 3 slices of apple pie , mashed with gravy I would be good... Maybe a thing of Hot Hard Cider (not beer that tastes like cider) or just regular with cinnamon .... Give me that and a TV with football maybe a few minutes of a parade then some TNA (think fox has a new Ice Age special and a new Charlie Brown one might have to check that out)... And that is my thanksgiving ..... It isn't about how we where friends with the Indians and then after the winter stole the land and then brought blankets that killed them... Then after the fact when something was found on there land oh gold, oh oil, oh here we come with the guns find some other place live.... So if you feel bad about what we did that is fine but maybe as pay back go lose all your money to them at a Casino.... Hey if that is your thanksgiving then fine......
My Point is there are so many Holidays and what they are on the Calender and why we got them doesn't mean anything.... It is what we do on those days that give that Holiday meaning or no meaning at all..... Maybe there are some of those out there that for every 2 gifts they buy they give one to a charity and if that is what the holiday is about to you then that is what Christmas is to you or any holiday for that matter......

Well some where marching turned into an art form... There are people who use wood guns or in some cases real guns and how they move is all most a Dance.... What people don't want to here is I think the Germans or Nazi Party is who got that stuff famous.... George Clease (monty phyton) has that famous bit of Silly walks I think that mocks them but look at two movies Malcom X and Star wars and those are prime examples of that kind of march... Well won't give the Nazi all the credit give some to the Russia also?

hahah, I think there are fancy marching regiments who just show off for parades. I doubt if any of them could break their nails in real battle.

i wonder if parades like that are kinda like Hey don't mess with us see what we can do? But I also wonder what it would be like to be at one.... At some parades where they have cops I think wait if they are here then whom is fighting crime?

yes, that is exactly how they are. :) When the tanks roll by a few feet away from you, you can hear them resonating in your chest cavity. its a weird feeling. I have been to rehearsal parades because they were near my school.

oh and let's not forget holidays for birthdays of former-politicians-who-definitely-messed-up (n = 4-5, varies on which government is ruling and political allegiance of the majority in the parliament).

heh, there are just two holidays with parades. August 15: Independence day: MOST boring military parade far away from home. January 26: Republic day: An 80% military and 20% fun parade again far away from home. I just liked the fly-pasts because they used to go directly overhead at home. the parades are very regimented and very different from parades here. :)
I LOVE LOVE LOVE festival food!!!!!

Most holidays at home are birthdays of our 1000+ gods and goddesses, or some anniversary of random historical comeuppance against the British. The god/goddess ones are more fun because many are associated with awesome food varieties and specialty dishes. The British ones are kind of bland and boring and marked by stupid parades... just like them.

Well seeing as I just lost internet for a minute don't wont to lose the entire post.....

I'd give a palace
if I were a king!
{but}
It's more than a Palace
It's my everything
There's a queen waiting there
With a silvery crown
In a shanty in Old shanty town!

Not really.... Think some of it is that in one of many shows I like they make that time even with all the violence looks so good with real wood houses and great old looking cars and don't get me wrong I love Hatebreed and Metallica but there is this sound in that type of music that you don't really hear to much in today's music... Or maybe I'm just yearning for a (bit latter then this time period) and old school pin up girl with the new look of Tattoos and what ever a flapper girl is... There is that kinda look that is shared in burlesque maybe next time I do a search I'll look up burlesque and see what I find?

Youtube Boardwalk VideosCategory: tv
I admit I'm a Steve Buscemi Fan... Now the other day I watched Board Walk Empire... They had this beach scene that reminded me of (e:matthew)'s costume... They had a cop who would measure girls suits.... Great show with violence and story and great music.... Now I posted some of these on the facebook page and G+ so thought might as well put some of them up here today?
Now granted this is just a sampling plus often times the music makes a scene but away from the scene it isn't the same thing.....
