Spring Breakkk 2010

Spring Break 2010

At first SB started off very very bland.

Go to sleep. Wake up. Babysit. Go to sleep. Wake up. Babysit.

Facebook. Facebook. Facebook. Babysit.

Blehhhhhhh!

Then on .... Thursday. No...Friday. On friday...

My churches youth group had a random get together at the church where we just hung out and chilled.

Breanna Bray, Camille Reyes, Wendy Miya and I stayed in the youth room the whole time singing with the mics and dancing around. Then we all hoped in Breanna's car,Crist was with us then, and went to Mi Ranchito.

After Mi Ranchiton we went to Walmart and sang in three part harmony for everyone there. That was awesome.

The next day Wendy, Crist and I went out with the church to hang stuff on doors.. Slightly creepy. Very fun.

Well basically. It turned out to be awesome.. Then it was time for school again.

St. Patrick'sDay is. . . .

What is this day?

St. Patrick's Day is to celebrate Saint Patrick. He was Irish. Traditionally it was only celebrated in the Catholic Church. In the 1600's a feast was cooked on that day as well. However, now it is a secular holiday celebrated by Irish AND non-Irish.

The original color was blue. However, over time the color green snuck its way into the the holiday and becoming the main color because it was said that St. Patrick used a shamrock to explain the trinity to people. The custom is, wear green or be pinched "lovingly".

What is this day to ME?

St. Patrick's day is nothing. It is a day used to reinforce the fact that people who are different should be "punished". I know what you are thinking. "Whoa, Chynna. You are reading way too much into this." But think about it...

If someone does not wear the "color of the day" everyone is allowed to pinch them. Because they are....different. I know it's not meant to teach bad values but nonetheless it is almost like a subliminal message in our lives.

So it may be a "fun" holiday for some people and a horrible holiday for others.

WHAT IF GREEN JUST IS NOT YOUR COLOR??!

Happy National Hurt Your Neighbor For Being Different Day. :)
