Happy Cinco de Mayo!!
| Ok...........this may surprise some of you goofs, but I think celebrating Cinco de Mayo is a good thing......if it's important to you. With all the rhetoric surrounding "illeagle" imigrants, and the hispanic twist painfully pointed out of late, I think this holiday is getting a bad rapp this year. Zig for one fully appreciates any holiday, that inspires heritage pride, and an excuse to drink a lil more than usual over the course of a weekend well spent. Drinking aside, remembering your heritage, is important. While to me, this is not an important holiday.....the Zig household celebrates St. Patty's day with blatent disregard...:). Aside from drinking..we remember how hard our ancestors came here to become Americans. We remember just how hard the ancestors worked, and not get caught in the old world, and hence not winding up Australians.......:) ...but that was many many years ago...I digress Happy Cinco de Mayo to all who celebrate it, and my Irish blessing to my celebrating friends.... May your hangover be short lived.. May your breakfast stay down.. May you remember atleast most of last night.. And may your confession sunday not make your priest not gasp.............:) |

We work like a horse.
We eat like a pig.
We like to play chicken.
You can get someone's goat.
We can be as slippery as a snake.
We get dog tired.
We can be as quiet as a mouse.
We can be as quick as a cat.
Some of us are as strong as an ox.
People try to buffalo others.
Some are as ugly as a toad.
We can be as gentle as a lamb.
Sometimes we are as happy as a lark.
Some of us drink like a fish.
We can be as proud as a peacock.
A few of us are as hairy as a gorilla.
You can get a frog in your throat.
We can be a lone wolf.
But I'm having a whale of a time!
You have a riveting web log
and undoubtedly must have
atypical & quiescent potential
for your intended readership.
May I suggest that you do
everything in your power to
honor your encyclopedic/omniscient
Designer/Architect as well
as your revering audience.
As soon as we acknowledge
this Supreme Designer/Architect,
Who has erected the beauteous
fabric of the universe, our minds
must necessarily be ravished with
wonder at this infinate goodness,
wisdom and power.
Please remember to never
restrict anyone's opportunities
for ascertaining uninterrupted
existence for their quintessence.
There is a time for everything,
a season for every activity
under heaven. A time to be
born and a time to die. A
time to plant and a time to
harvest. A time to kill and
a time to heal. A time to
tear down and a time to
rebuild. A time to cry and
a time to laugh. A time to
grieve and a time to dance.
A time to scatter stones
and a time to gather stones.
A time to embrace and a
time to turn away. A time to
search and a time to lose.
A time to keep and a time to
throw away. A time to tear
and a time to mend. A time
to be quiet and a time to
speak up. A time to love
and a time to hate. A time
for war and a time for peace.
Best wishes for continued ascendancy,
Dr. Whoami
P.S. One thing of which I am sure is
that the common culture of my youth
is gone for good. It was hollowed out
by the rise of ethnic "identity politics,"
then splintered beyond hope of repair
by the emergence of the web-based
technologies that so maximized and
facilitated cultural choice as to make
the broad-based offerings of the old
mass media look bland and unchallenging
by comparison."
I thank you for your kind post, and worthy read........:)
I remember....as a teen.............a teacher............trying to explain the difference in thought...........his generation......his and ours...........he drew deep squigles..............his........a nearly straight line us. For the most part he was correct, was almost 25 yrs ago.........will never forget it
This is one I need to look up, over here in the UK we don't celebrate it.
It's a Mexican holiday, the day the drove the french from the country and won independence..........Rathe like the US's 4th of July....:)
