This week marked the St. Patrick’s Day, Evacuation Day and the beginning of Eastern Orthodox Lent. St. Patty's is no longer about some Irish dude spreading Christianity. 99.9% of the US doesn't even know what Evacuation Day is for (The Brits fleeing Boston). However, it has become an excuse for state workers in Massachusetts to take the day after St. Patty's off. As far as Eastern Orthodox Lent... I don't know much about that except how many Christians are truly celebrating that?

As you can see this week has several distorted holidays that we celebrate out of habit if at all more than we do out of any sense of personal experience or respect for the past. Well God Damn it... Its time for that to change. For anyone of us who remembers being a horny as hell teenaged boy (Sorry female readership) this week is the 80th anniversary of nudity in film. If that isn't reason for celebration I don't know what is.
