So, I wake up today and realize that it’s Dec 24th! Freak’n-A…

As many of you know, I make it a point to not do the stardard best wishes bull that goes along with owning a blog. We all know what time of year it is. We all know what’s going down today, or yesterday or the day before, depending on where you are. They’ve been drilling it into our skulls for over a month, now. It’s happy this and holiday that.

I’m just so damn tired of the commercialization of everything. “We know you love your family, but you have to show them by buying some really expensive crap that they didn’t really want anyway.” Sure, you could get your mother or father a card and wish them all the best in the comming year. But, you know what, the’ll just throw that card out when your sibling buys them a laptop.

Yeah, that’s right, you didn’t love your mom enough to buy her a new laptop, jackass. She only spent ten hours giving birth to you, you ungrateful child! Your father? He may have a shed full of tools that you’ve bought him over the years, that he does not use, but…a card…really?

I just can’t win. Well, whatever, Happy Winter Solstice 2009, late though it may be.
