Why Blue Mountain Sucks

So I'm back from Blue Mountain after leaving YESTERDAY. As a result of 14 degree Celsius weather and rain, there is currently almost no snow on Blue Mountain. Actually, scratch that. There is no snow on Blue Mountain, just ice.

Possible bonuses included getting to drive there and most of the way back; however, driving there was hell itself. Due to the aforementioned high temperatures, the snow was actually steaming and creating a fog so thick even Moses and Chuck Norris combined wouldn't be able to part it. But I didn't kill myself/my dad so I guess it wasn't all bad.

Additionally, Blue Mountain sucks so much that they can't even keep the power on. So there I was, stuck in a cottage so close to skiing yet unable to, with no power and a cloudy sky so I couldn't even read that easily (incidentally, READ GODS BEHAVING BADLY), with my brother who said about 2.5 words the whole weekend (the .5 accounting for a mumble).

So now I need to wait till January 2ndish for a decent enough snowfall to actually go skiing. Which sucks because I've been waiting since about September to go.

It's Christmas, not "Winter Festivities"

Since I am such a music nerd, I am co-president of the music council at my high school. As a result, I was a key figure in organizing our annual "Winter" Concert. *takes a bow*. I was also an MC, and made the mistake of referring to Christmas in my script. This was, of course, a complete no-no, because, you know, this concert has NOTHING to do with Christmas AT ALL. EVAR.

Which brings me to my point. ITS CHRISTMAS. GET OVER IT. I'm an atheist. I know that this holiday is supposed to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ (who was, incidentally, actually born in July. But that's another post), and I also don't believe in Jesus Christ as the figure presented in the bible. And I also don't care. Christmas is a time of year. If someone came up to me and said "Happy Hannukah" I would say "Happy Hannukah to you too". I wouldn't say "I won't say Happy Hannukah because it's not my religion and I find it offensive". Or if I wanted to say that I would just mumble an unintelligible snippet to that effect.

But that's not to say that it's the fault of all non-Christians that we have this whole OH NOES CANT SAY CHRISTMAS problem. No, it is the fault of the hyper-sensitive and overly politically correct society that exists today in North America.

So my point is:

MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HANNUKAH AND KRAZY KWANZAA (sorry, I have absolutely no idea what goes in front of Kwanzaa. Any tips?) EVERYONE
