Thanksgiving. A thankful or a hectic time?



Is thanksgiving such a wonderful holiday? I think not. This post is dedicated to revealing the true turkeys of thanksgiving, the Pilgrims!(WARNING! if you love either thanksgiving, or the Pilgrims themselves you are advised to STOP reading this post IMMEDIATELY!) If some old bloke started digging up graves at your local cemetery, stole food from house how would you like it? That's how the natives felt when the Pilgrims dug up their graves, looted their empty houses, and stole their corn. And then they "gave thanks" to the fact that the natives had been there so that they would have someone to steal from. And the natives came to the whole thing! As if the stealing incident had never happened! If you think that the irony of Thanksgiving stops there, your wrong. Unfortunately the modern world thought that wasn't enough stupidity for one November. Instead they make it even worse. like going to relatives you don't even know for dozens of hugs. Yet again from people you have no idea who they are or where they live for that matter. Then comes the food.
Heaping piles of "salad" that is actually poison(luckily for the next generation kid instincts kick in at the last moment), Radioactive pies, seawater soup, drugged turkey that almost makes you go to sleep forever, and much, much more. Then comes the conversations, hundreds of voices ethier talking about "the old days" or "catching up" then there's the inevitable drive home. At least there's only 4 weeks 'till Christmas

What Happened to Bach

An American of Spanish heritage went back to Spain to pay her respects to her deceased relatives. When she arrived at the cemetery she saw a gave that had the name on it:J. S. Bach. When she asked the cemetery manager if the grave she had seen contained the J. S. Bach. "I actually don't know." He replied. "Let's find out." So they got a shovel and dug up the coffin. After they opened the coffin a old, wrinkled, person that was holding a piece of music. At that moment the cemetery manager came along and when he saw what they had done to the grave he said "What are you doing!" The cemetery manager answered "decomposing."

My thoughts on school

If the more you learn, the more you know, if the more you know then the more you forget, if the more you forget then the less you know, why learn?
