Journal Entry 23 What Christmas means to me.
What Christmas means to me.
It's that time year for me to spread some Christmas joy, and look at that, I said Christmas as opposed to xmas which the commercial sector would have us believe is the less offensive label to use and they have embraced it with open arms so not to offend during the holiday season. Now I'm sure I just pissed off the political correctness soldiers of righteousness that think having "Christ" in a word offends all who believe in anything other then the mighty Christian way. By just using that word, some would say I've stomped on the Jews with Nazi marching boots, burned the non believers with a wooden cross doused in holly water, forced a Buddhist to watch while I crush little bugs, crapped on a Muslim's right hand and pissed shame on just about every other religious facility that doesn't adhere to the Christian Rike. I didn't do that with just a word, if there was such a word that carried that kind of power I probably would have used it long ago. No, all that sounds like the great work of our administration. The fact is, I'm not a religious man by any means and anyone who has seen my act can certainly attest to that, but nothing wrinkles my sack more then butchering a word because it has a the name Christ in it. It doesn't even have any historical weight. Christ wasn't born in December, it was during the summer months and this was a Pagan holiday to worship the longest night of the year and was taken over by the Christians. This is where the tree comes in to play and the Yule log. It was meant to burn long and to symbolize everlasting light and the Yule Log was also burned in honor of the gods and to bring good luck in the coming year. That is the funniest part about this. It was the extremists that fucked up something beautiful in the first place and now centuries later they're here to drop a turd on us again. Political correctness has ruined great holidays, like Halloween and Christmas to name just a couple. So watch out little Mexican boy named Jesus, your next. They're going to find you and soon we all will be calling you little J, and then you'll be forced to a career of rap forever.
So what is the reason I'm writing you, you are probable asking yourself?
Every year on the night before Christmas Eve I do a show called Lonnie Bruhn's Blue Blue Christmas. It is a way to give you the needed release to handle the craziness of relatives and the insanity of the holiday season. All religions and faiths are welcome, because whether you are a Jewish, Muslim, satanic or no faith at all, you have to fight through the crap of this weekend, so why not do it with booze and filthy humor. It is officially the third Annual "Blue, Blue" because I first put the show together back at Harvey's, three years ago and it marks the week I was fired from their club, three years ago to the week. It is the second annual at Comedy Club Westside and has become a great tradition in a month of not so good traditions. I expect to see all you there; it will be as fun as it always is. Last year I did a shot with my mom on stage, who knows what this year will bring. I promise it will not be without the usual theatrics It is for one Night only! Plus my best friend and regular feature Joe Fontenot will be starting off the night. So get your reservations now. Friday the 23rd of December at Comedy Club Westside. Come on out and enjoy the night with me. I have a lot of news to talk about with you all. Marry little Jewish boy from Bethlehem day to all, and all a good night.
