I'm still not in a good mood, however….

I love this email.

Come back Ali! Come back Ali’s sister!

You two meant everything to me!

I feel bad for catholic kids

So this is the season for ‘first’ communion for catholic children. I’m not really sure of the details, but I feel bad for them already. So many people come into my store, wanting to buy stuff for them. Which at first glance, seems really awesome. Until the majority of people end up buying cross necklaces, roseries, catholic kids bibles, and picture frames. Yeah, I’d love to be a catholic kid and get 4 Bibles, 8 necklaces, and 20 pictures frames from people I don’t really know but my parents told them about it so they felt obligated to buy me something.

The sad thing? Most of the people who come into my store to get something…aren’t catholic. Aren’t Christian. Aren’t…anything. They seem so out of place. Whats worse–when I try to suggest something the child might enjoy(like a dvd or a game or another book) these non-educated people suddenly become experts, and tell me that as a first communion gift, the items I just suggested are the devil. I’m sorry, but didn’t you just tell me you had no idea what to get him? Yes, fine. Get the child a cross. He’s catholic, right? I’m sure he doesn’t have about a zillion of those already. Oh and while you’re at it, heres a boring catholic children’s bible. I’d suggest an awesome bible they can actually read, understand, and enjoy but sadly you’re an ignorant fool and you’re cheaper than any jew thats ever come into this store.

And on the subject of jews…my shofars still haven’t been transfered from the fredricksburg store. I don’t even think they’ve mailed them yet. Grrr.

At the end of the day you’re another day older
And that’s all you can say for the life of the poor
It’s a struggle, it’s a war
And there’s nothing that anyone’s giving
One more day standing about, what is it for?
One day less to be living.

At the end of the day you’re another day colder
And the shirt on your back doesn’t keep out the chill
And the righteous hurry past
They don’t hear the little ones crying
And the winter is coming on fast, ready to kill
One day nearer to dying!

At the end of the day there’s another day dawning
And the sun in the morning is waiting to rise
Like the waves crash on the sand
Like a storm that’ll break any second
There’s a hunger in the land
There’s a reckoning still to be reckoned and
There’s gonna be hell to pay
At the end of the day!
