April a Cursed Month.....My ASS!

I have been reading the news and reading blogs all day today. My prayers and blessings to the families down in VA who lost loved ones in today's shootings.

Now to anyone who wants to think or believe April is a "cursed" month can kiss my ass. I was born in April and personally love the month! (No comments from the peanut gallery:P) Sure bad things have happened in April. The school shooting everyone likes to blame other school shootings on, other shootings, today's shootings, Hitler's birthday and many other "bad things".

But if you want to get technical, every month in history has a "bad thing or things" that have happened and April is no different. Take September 11th for one instance. The bombing of Peral Harbor happened December 7th 1941. Waco actually started Febuary 28th 1993 NOT in April when it ended. On October 3rd of 2006 the Amish School shooting happened. The list goes on and on.

So before anybody starts bad mouthing MY BIRTH MONTH or any other month because they see events happening in the month, they need to use their mind that their God gave them and go look into history and see that April is no different then any other month! April has good things and bad things that happen through out its days just like December has good things and bad things. As does September.

So instead of living in fear of April and spreading fear of how April is "cursed" use your head and do a little research!

Re: April a Cursed Month.....My ASS!

You'll probably consider this a comment from the peanut gallery, but I'm assuming my post is probably one of the ones you saw and are commenting on, and I think you confused my seriousness level. After all, I'm well aware of the fact that bad things happen in all months. April actually happens to be one of my favorite months because it's when spring is coming. The only purpose of my post was to demonstrate that people like to find some sort of connection of some kind to try to explain tragedies. That's how things like Friday the 13th, etc., become intertwined in culture.

Re: April a Cursed Month.....My ASS!

Actually I did read your post and a few others. I understood where you were coming from and I understood a lot of ppl had bad things happen in April. There was another blog that just ripped on April. I caught your connection.

I am in total agreement with you about how ppl see that something happened and then go "Hey, I am going to be stupid also!"

I just get really irriate that others ONLY see the "bad" and can't say hey this is when I was born, or this is when such and such was born, or you know this happened in this month and it wasn't bad.

And the peanut gallery comment was for my friends who know I was born in April. So no it wasn't directed at you
