Hey Maria, thanks again for the cell phone bill...
Just kidding.
Really...
Anyway...
I know I'm in a minority here, but I despise the holiday season thing. Not only is it just a blatant, month-long reminder to me about how much I missed out on in this life, it's a travesty of traffic where people drive like they're total loons with the attitude of "Fuck you! It's x-mas! I can drive however I feel like!"
I hate x-mas trees. Who ever came up with that concept anyway? Let's go out in the woods, kill a tree by cutting it down, then drag it home, throw it in the middle of our living room, decorate it, and watch it die a slow and painful death. What the hell IS that? I dunno. I just wish it would all go away already.
I did what little x-mas shopping I needed to do totally online this year to avoid the holiday assholes. When I shop, I like to be leisurely about it - I normally enjoy shopping quite a bit. I don't dig the experience being all about stress and aggravation. If I'm looking for stress, I can go to work and get it there.
Yes, I'm totally fucking Scrooge...
I DO celebrate x-mas in my own way - the original Roman way. X-mas is actually a bastardization of the pagan (Roman) Festival of Jupiter (Jesus was born in the summer, people... ), and I honor Zeus in the same fashion that the Romans did - total debachery!
Okay...
Enough of my ranting about all this shit, right?
Let's have a nice, tranquil image...
caged angels...
Yeah, I know...
People enjoy the whole holiday thing and I should be more tolerant. I dunno...
My tolerance is wearing a bit thin these days. I've been through so damned much this year. I just want 2007 to be over and done with already.
ask me "Why?" and I'll answer "Why bother?"
Work is getting somewhat stressful, as I'd mentioned before. I have to put in six-day work weeks for the next couple of weeks, and I'm really not looking forward to it. I could use the money, I have to pay my car insurance this month and everything, but damn - this week is just like sucking the frickin' life out o' me for some reason. I can't sleep for shit anymore, which I think is part of the problem, and when I'm at work, I'm just tired - and quiet. I know if I open my mouth too much, I'll just come off as being irritable.
My cards (tarot) make no damned sense anymore...
I won't even go into that one...
I dunno...
I'm just looking forward to New Year's Eve - not because I have grand plans or anything (nothing could stand up to New Year's Eve '05 when I had like four different parties to go to), I don't have ANY plans right now, actually. I just want to put 2007 behind me and start over...
For now...
I think I'm just gonna heat up some pizza and chili in the microwave (I know, I'm a sick man), start up the fireplace (ummm... brrr? It's friggin' COLD in here), and just relax.
