I wanted to go down to the strip, but there's not that much fun in it anymore. damn this getting old ish! Also, I no longer drink...and I can't get beads ...so...
I will probably be on OOA from 12a-12p. LOL
Once again folks I am give up OO for Lent. The question is will I be successful.
So that means I have to indulge and then fast full force Wed. Speaking of which, does anyone get ashes?

What is the purpose of celebrating Mardi Gras? Seriously, I don't know much about it. To me Mardi Gras is a time to see if you can get loose women with low self esteem to do something strange for beads...lol.

It's a celebration before LENT which is the fasting season before EASTER.
They call it fat tuesday, because most people were giving up some sort of food/meat for the season. Therefore they would eat loads of food.
I don't drink so I just like to go out on the strip. It doesn't take much to get beeds around here. The most you;ll have to do is show your boobs...least---just ask.
Which is what I do the most. Yeah you have to flirt a little bit--but guys tend to just like women. LOL You ask and most times they will oblige.

Beads significance: I honestly do not know. I t hink it's something that came along with the traditional celebration. I doubt it has a historical meaning, but I could be wrong. Religious in nature: Absolutely. Like many religious customs--the secular has long overshadowed the culture. However most sects of Orthodox Christianity still honor "mardi gras" a prep time before the awaited fast. Mardi Gras is also associated with Carnival. Here's the wiki link on mardi Gras (which is not as extensive as it could be, IMO): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mardi_Grasand Lent: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lent |
