Christmas is coming!

[Rusty Shackleford]

No one said you can't share, and I didn't see anyone opposing your statements either. I hate PC bullshit as much as anyone, and even though I'm not exactly christian, I've got nothing against christmas. I do, however, have a problem with mis-information, thus I believe people should know the truth about what it is. If you want to celebrate the birth of christ on yule, go ahead...just know that it's NOT his actual birthday.
It's kinda like when your birthday is on say, a wednsday. A lot of people just celebrate it on the weekend, because for one reason or another, it's more convenient. That doesn't make that weekend your true birthday, you just happen to celebrate it then.

Allah forbid someone shares their thoughts on a forum!

The reason why christmas is celebrated on Yule. (short version)
long time ago
Germans = pagans
vatican = dominatrix
vatican tells germans to conform.
germans say hell no and drink beer.
Vatican says it's basically the same thing.
Germans are so wasted they believe them.
Germans sober up.
Germans get pissed
Vatican claims christ was born on yule, so they can keep their traditions.
Germans are happy.
Germans begin drinking again.
Vatican dominates more.

October 5 you say....


OMG does this mean I am Jesus.


I was born 10-05

Does a dance...

I assume you are joking; no one really knows when he was born; see

well it was the first thing I saw I didn't look too long. But I did know it wasn't known.. they really didn't have birth certificates back then.


But on a christmassy note... I am working on a new piano CD. The entire CD will actually only be one song (but multiple tracks for seeking pleasure). Just about 5 minutes ago I did an experimental track in the music room at my dorm to see what it'd sound like, and I ended with a 14 minute song which only touched a few (well around 6) christmas songs.

Big thing is... I have never played a christmas song in my life. So it was very hard for me to think of the chord progressions when my friend called out the next song to play. It was very off the wall, but turned out pretty good (especially the joy to the world ending).

However... I will not be able to afford getting to the recording studio again since everybody demanded they got my first CD for free, I was unable to even make back the money it cost for that first session.... I guess I wouldn't care giving them away free if I didn't have heavy studio fees :/. Enough of my complaining though I will try to do my best to get my workstation down in the music room to do some recording on it.

Riot knows.

Anyway, I find it much more offensive when someone bitches and moans about someone else's holiday than when someone wishes a non Christian a merry Christmas.
