if you've clicked on this post, you were obviously intending on informing yourself with something having to do with the Mardi Gras celebration going on in Burlington Vermont. well unfortunately; i have nothing to offer you in that field because i am staying home at my own request. some people get reaaallllly excited for holidays like this; i don't. i would rather sit and bitch about how much i hate the sluts who flash their tits all over the place while the parade is going on. the things people do when they're excited always seems to shock me. it shouldn't, but i forget how dumb people get when they have alcohol in their system.
im not trying to make this holiday into a negative thing, and if it seems like i am, then please be aware that isn't my intention. i just have some unanswered questions about the whole human mind thing. like:
- why do we act the way we do when we feel excited?
- why do we feel the need for alcohol in order to have fun?
- why do people do the same thing over and over again, yet expect different results?
in a class that i'm taking, we had to learn about the origin of the holiday. it originated in Rome, and was the tuesday before lent when people needed to get rid of all the food that would go to waste if it wasn't consumed before the 40 day fast. Mardi Gras -meaning Fat Tuesday- was the source of tons of excitement. the colors: Purple, Gold & Green stand for something as well: Justice, (purple) Power, (gold) and Faith (green). apparently, in New Orleans, the celebration lasts a whole year. thats not to say that the parade lasts a whole year, but the planning and funding and constructing takes quite a while.
i just wish that instead of having trashy bitches showing their nasty boobs and seeing cunts get sloppy drunk, we should all consider our alternative: celebrating justice power and faith by cooking delicious foods, and being kind to one another. just a thought.
Happy Mardi Gras!!!!!
