The Easter Bunny
Apr 16th
Some of you are probably wondering what is the connection between Easter, Jesus and this cute adorable bunny that everyone talks about during this Spring holiday, so here it goes:
The Easter Bunny is a mythological rabbit who brings eggs and candy to children on the Easter holiday. The Easter bunny possibly has its origin in pre-Christian fertility lore. The Hare and the Rabbit were the most fertile animals known and they served as symbols of the new life during the Spring season.
The precise origin of the ancient custom of coloring eggs is not known. Greeks to this day typically dye their Easter eggs red, the color of blood, in recognition of the renewal of life in springtime (and, later, the blood of the sacrificed Christ). Some also use the color green, in honor of the new foliage emerging after the long dead time of winter. (wikipedia.org)
That’s right people, Easter is just another pagan holiday that found it’s “rightful” place inside the christian religion. I guess old habits die hard. And now, for the moment of entertainment, to wipe off some of those pious faces we all grew accustomed to during Easter- I present to you the REAL easter bunny, the one that f*cking hates you!

I’m feeling the holiday spirit already. Too bad I caught a nasty cold. 
Later edit: I feel better, I’m off to the mountains today. Cya!
My take on Christ-mas
Dec 24th
Aaaah another year, another joyful Christ-mas.
One thing surprised me this year, more than it did the years before – have you noticed the way some people are trying to steal Christmas?! Yeah.. It’s disgusting! It all starts with the way the megacorporations are enforcing the “Happy Holidays!” instead of the common, yet appropriate, “Merry Christmas!” onto us. If you don’t believe me, just go to YouTube.com and try and send out a funny video card.
Having all that in my mind, I’m actually quite sympathetic to the fundamental argument of those righteous and god-faring people to keep “Christ in Christmas.” The holiday should be joyful, having loads of fun with family and close friends, but the orgy of consumerism that accompanies it has long since passed the point “no return” for an event allegedly celebrating the birth of our lord and savior. Yes – it’s Jesus’ birthday, so get off your heathen ass and fckuing celebrate! (Ms. Garrison – South Park).
Funny thing about this association- before christianity came along the “pagans” used to celebrate this time of year pretty most the way we Romanians do it – slaughtering animals for the gods, drinking and having fun. Things haven’t changed that much since Jesus came along anyway, so it kinda makes me wonder why we even celebrate Christmas? It’s not like he was born on December 25th. Actually history points out another birthday of a pagan demigod by the name of Mithras, also born out of a virgin. Jesus, Mithras, Osiris, Batman or Rambo – does it matter? It’s clear that we all need to have a savior, and at one point we need to celebrate his(her) birthday – might as well be this time of year.
I wish you all a Merry Christmas, Hanukkah, Festivus, Kwanzaa or whatever else you are keen on drinking about!
See you next year!
