bah humbug OR back fiends, back! OR tis the season to be jolly OR just a plain old merry christmas

any one of those could have been my title for tonight but i couldnt decide because, well... i'm indecisif. people have been getting on my case about not writing in here. to these people i say... bite me. see, i write when i have stuff to write. if i force myself to write just for the sake of making people happy, the result is junky mumbling that makes no one happy.

you know, today is the first day that i felt the least bit christmas-y. the DAY BEFORE the 25th. sheesh... i AM the master of procrastination so perhaps it could be excused. alot of things in my life are a result of procrastination. this blog for example. i do believe i was supposed to be doing homework when i started it... ah the good ole days.

well, according to viki i was THE cutest cross-eyed child. yes, thats right, i was cross-eyed for some time... it's my dirty little secret. in fact i had three eye opperations before i was the age of 7 i think... 1 on one eye, 1 on the other and the last one to fix their horribly mistake in the second one (you may think i'm kidding, but i'm not). when i think of it now, i'm glad i was a child when it happened. i really didnt know what was going on so i didnt know enough to be freaked out. if it was happenning now all i could think of is what would happen if they slipped and punctured my eye or something like that... i'm sure i could find dozens of horrible things that could go wrong with the opperation now a days... the thing i remember most about the opperations was the sleeping gas. horrible stuff that is... absolutly horrible.... it has this absolutly revolting smell that is so strong it almost has a taste and to this day i can still smell it. it's what the colour pink would smell like if it had a smell... i cant really describe it... i guess you can say it's really really sweet.... some public bathrooms have cleaners or some sort of perfume that smells like it. it makes me want to be physicallly ill.

but enough about that and on the the true meaning of christmas... christmas or, Christ-Mas. (okay, i'm insane i know, just bear with me here). the important word here is Christ. his birthday (Birth- Date or the date of his birth). on birthdays you're supposed to give presents to the birthday boy or girl. so doesnt this mean we should be showering jesus with gifts? but somehow this turned into the holiday where EVERYONE gets presents... way to not make him feel special. infact... think about it, if on your birthday EVERYONE else got presents at the same time as you, wouldnt that make you not special in the least? so therefore, your birthday would be meaningless and you would be no more important than any other random shmuck. so you COULD say, that but making jesus's birthday a day of gift giving for everyone, we are in fact undermining how much better he is than us. in fact, you could alse argue that you are insulting his memory with every gift you give since you are saying that everyone else is just as good as christ himself therefore belittling him. shame on us all. it's his birthday for pete's sake, the least we can do is give him a bit of recognition... poor fellah, i bet his sniffling away up in heaven mumbling about us ingrates. now why doesnt he just get god to smite us down? well it's quite simple, we pretend that the entire holiday is dedicated to His birth so he cant crush us now until he gets actuall proof of our treason.

little work of advice: my dad used to, way back when(before i was born), own a motorcyle. the other day he was going through old pictures that had been sitting in a box in our closet for 20 years (probably longer) and he found a picture of the old bike. i could tell that he had been quite fond of it. because of this (and my complete lack of money) i decided to sketch him the picture of the bike. now here comes the advice: next time you decide to draw a motorcycle for your nostalgic dad, dont. it's almost easier to just BUY him one....

anywho, i have to finish the drawing, wrap it, go to bed then et up at some point tomorrow (likely when my brother comes in and wakes me up...)

so, i would like to wish you all from the bottom of my heart a very very very very Merry Christmas

and to all a good night :)
