It's Been A Hard Days Night...

...And I've been working like a dog. I can really relate to that song after working all day, trying to make my moms Mother's Day the best.

It all started this morning around 9 o'clock, when I made breakfast. I spent about an hour making eggs with ham and cheese, and 15 pieces of bacon. Then, I had to try and amuse my sister and try to give mom her space, a feat I will never attempt again. After a little relaxation time mixed with keeping my sister quiet while my mom slept, we were off to the grocery store to get my sister an early birthday present. And, of course, it starts raining, and my sister didn't bring her coat, so I gave her my sweatshirt and walked 10 blocks in the rain in a short sleeve shirt. After that I finally got some quality relaxation time, that is until I remembered that I had homework. By the time I finished that, it was 10 o'clock, and I was wiped, so I sat down and wrote this post. And now, I'm doomed to go to sleep with that great Beatles song stuck in my head,"It's been a hard days night, and I've been working like dog"...

The Jew Crew

WARNING! THIS POST CAN BE VERY OFFENSIVE, SO DON'T READ THIS IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED BY RACIAL STEREOTYPES CREATED BY A BUNCH OF SIXTH-GRADERS. This is a post about the newly-created "Jew Crew"...and since I'm Jewish, it only makes sense that I'm the leader...

The Jew Crew is the group made by me and my 2 friends. It was originally an idea for a comic book, but we have started referring to each other by Jew Crew names. For example, I'm Shlomo and my friend is Yarmulkeman (yes, I know we jews can't spell) or Jew Crew #2. We have also expanded, with my friend who's catholic as "Captain Catholicism" with his sidekick "Christian the Kid". When we were going into details, we came up with rapidly growing sideburns and shirts that say "100% Kosher". I feature a menorah-shaped jetpack and the catch-phrase "Anybody wanna play dreidle?" as well as the motto "We invented the ghetto"(according to Captain Catholicisim's brother, the Jews were the creators of the ghetto, a fact still undergoing study). We were so deep into it we even had car names like "The Popemobile" and "The Turbo Torah Tobaggan".

I can tell you, we pulled out every stereotype in the book, and since we were the stereotyped, we didn't think about it too much.
