happy holidays

Happy holidays my loyal readership! The number of unique daily visitors has exponentially increased from two years ago. I can only thank you, my fans, for this feat!

I understand that christmas is the celebration of Jesus' birthday for christians, but to me it is an American holiday. I make fun of religion because of the nuts bible bangers that are out there so there is no need for me to associate any type of religious connotations with Christmas. I just relate presents, food, drinking, and friends with it. WHAT A HOLIDAY! I hope my friends have a great one, and I truly wish I could see all of them.

I saw Avatar last night in 3-d at Imax. Visually it was stunning, but it was too long for me, and the sci fi-ness was a bit much. It didn't help that I went at 10:45 at night either. I really dislike long movies. I rarely ever watch a movie in one sitting that is being watched in the confines of my house. This is just because I lose interest in 95% of movies about 45-60 minutes in. My mind starts to wander, my eye lids start to feel like they weigh 100 pounds, etc. I fell asleep last night for about 15 minutes, a power nap if you will, to get me ready for the last 90 minutes. It was looooong, and wasn't terrible (as I said last night, but that had to do with being tired, and the hot hot hot theater, which especially sucks when you dress for the winter!), but was just not my cup of tea. I was hoping a terminator would pop up and destroy everything. That would have made it awesome.

I am still looking for jobs. The applications I have submitted is easily in the double digits. Tough times all around and it just continues to get more and more frustrating. I continue to keep positive thoughts (even with the negativity that I surround myself in everyday (got tyler out of my life and somehow I hang out with Chris more, I can't win). I am waiting for the person to suggest me go back to school. It could be my dad, but whoever it is will get a chuckle and a "no way" in reply from me. Looking back on college these days I wonder how I did the school thing for four years after high school. I have said this before, but I honestly don't know what I learned there.

It is supposed to snow a lot tonight and tomorrow 10-12 inches total I think. Whatever, bring it on. I don't like the cold or snow after december 31st, but if it snows a lot these next few days I'm fine with it. Just don't knock out my cable, internet, and electricity and we are cool mr. snow.

On Christmas I am going to a soup kitchen to help feed the needy with some friends. I am looking forward to this experience to be able to help people in need. It will be a nice for me to put things back in perspective (as I complain I can't find a job) when helping those who are really in need.

Stay safe all!

Happy Holidays!
