Saturday Night

For some reason Saturday night is prime time for my Zionist ranting and raving. Maybe it's cause I don't handle monotony well and it's the same people and same activities every week. I feel like it has to be something more though because for the past two weeks while I was in Israel I was with many of the same people doing many of the same things but no ranting and raving. Maybe it is because during the week I sit at home in my room and have no one to rant to. Either way no matter how sane I am during the week it all comes out Motzash.

This week for example I was at Marky's restaurant with the whole chevra and as we were leaving I look outside at the insane amount of snow and make one of my usual comments about how I don't know why anyone lives in this country.
The owner of Marky's says to me something along the lines of the weather is bad but Toronto is a great place for Jews to live.
I reply I hate it here. "It's cold and snowy and Canadians are too passive."
He says "passive is good," to which I reply "not when we are getting walked all over by anti-Semitic bastards!"
This conversation goes on for a while and then he says, "Toronto is better than NY and LA and Cleveland and you know why?" I answered, "because we have Marky's!" We high-5 and thus ended one of my weirder I hate Canada conversations.

At least I didn't manage to alienate any friends this week.
Can't wait to see what is in store for me next Saturday night.
