Good Friday weekend = a Good Pillow fight?

So after the VERY tiring but absolutely fun not-so-long Good Friday weekend, I was watching the news and heard this: "This past weekend, Good Friday was not the only thing that was celebrated...". I perked up thinking they were going to showcase the Gaura Purnima celebrations at the temple (you can tell how much this festival consumed us). Instead, they talked about Global Pillow Fight day.
GLOBAL PILLOW FIGHT DAY?!

I day for people to enjoy a good ol' pillow fight. It was such a success that Vancouver was the only city to participate.

To think, that on an auspicious weekend such as that, people on the West coast were preoccupied with whether to use down-filled or polyester fill and which pillow would give the best smack. We as a society have come up with effective ways to waste time. Yippee. Hopefully, this is NOT an indication of where our society is heading.

My long weekend was nothing short than crazy but pure bliss. Nothing beats dancing and sweating to the beat of the thunderous mrdangas screaming "Nitai! Nitai!" on a totally empty stomach. I got to spend 3 wonderful days with the most inspirational and down right hilarious bunch of people (iFOC ;) ) in the world and get the small opportunity to bring smiles and laughs onto others' faces.

If that isn't what life should be like then NOTHING is.
