easter is bullshit

we decided not to go out to my mom's this easter. this weekend was crazy-busy, with knitting on friday, and i was supposed to go out to three things yesterday, but one of them got cancelled and the other was too far away and for only an hour, so i made the executive decision not to go. sunday would have been my only day of rest. but easter. sigh. that most useless of holidays. my mom was kinda pissed that we waited too long to tell her we weren't coming. my sister is still going; she's taking the train. but i just didn't want to be bothered. yes, it would have been nice to eat dinner with my family and hang out, but i think sleeping in and doing fuck-all would make me happier. plus, i think easter is bullshit. i am a non-believer, as if you didn't already know that. i do not believe Jesus Christ was our savior. i don't really believe in god. but easter just plain makes me angry. they kill him and rises from the dead? hahahhahaaa!! oh, and let's not forget the Pagan rituals that make up more than 90% of this holiday: the eggs, the bunnies, the baby chicks. it's all because of the Pagans and their love of spring. if you truly believe that this is Easter and Christ has risen, i better not see one fucking easter basket or chocolate bunny anywhere in your possession. but most people are too stupid to want to know the truth. oh, and for the people who don't give two shits about any of this, we can't do anything because of the shops are closed. the Indian-run thrift store down the street is closed today. do Indians celebrate Easter? i guess this is how Jewish people feel about Christmas. and Easter, too. i guess. so i'll sit on my fucking couch, cursing that the only store that's open is walgreens, stacked to the hilt with enough candy to put all of western society in a sugar coma. maybe i'll just go back to bed.
