You need gloves scooter-man!
So we were on our way to dim sum on Sunday after church and we stopped at a stoplight near Northern Blvd. I turn to my left and I see this:
Someone who loves this scooter-man, please buy him some gloves!
I really don’t like Christmas
I know what you are thinking, I’m Ed the Scrooge. Actually, that’s not why I don’t like Christmas all that much. Here are the reasons in my awesome list format:
- Horrible traffic gets created by ridiculously horrible holiday shoppers
- There are more panhandlers asking for donations than ever
- I don’t expect gifts, but when I do, it’s usually something I don’t want. I create temporary wishlists with lower price items to combat this issue. However, that usually never gets acknowledged. Most items I really want, no one can afford. So I end up buying it myself.
- Mistletoes get hung in my house, but no one ever kisses me
- Suz sends out about 60 Christmas cards, we only get about four
- I end up having to wrap every present, paper cuts and rough skin immediately surfaces
- There’s more, but you get the jist of it I think
The real meaning of Christmas has a religious background. It’s the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, the son of God. How it ended up being the Salvation Army’s calling card to whore money out of people or crazy high school cheerleaders wanting to wrap your presents no matter what, is wack.
What do I like about December 25th? I like the fact I get to see my friends and family. Mainly my family (ok, and Suz’s family); my friends I can do without. Bunch of scumbags I tell you. haha, I’m j/k. Anyway, enjoy the holiday season, it’ll be over real soon.
Are you a loser?
Do you know any losers? Like people who you might know, whether dearly or not so dearly, yet, you just wish they would stop being such a big loser?
I know one.
Let me sum it up in one very long sentence.
This guy is a hypocrit, is selfish, is too fat, acts like he’s 10, likes to inherit friends and family from people, is a cheapass and oh yeah he’s annoyingly fat.
On a brighter and less ‘loserish’ note, my cactus plant finally bloomed! There are tiny flowers at the end of a foot long stem. It’s the dead of winter and there is no sun out. My tiny cactus kick serious ass.
It’s 4 days till Christmas, I have yet to buy anyone a gift. I don’t exactly plan to actually. Suz is getting a hug and kiss and that’s it. W00t, save so much money that way!
On a side note, I’ve got 1 Terabyte of storage on my main rig. A full 300GB dedicated to MP3s, a striped 240GB RAID for movies. This doesn’t even count the storage (600GB+) on my HTPC. Yeahhhh beyotch.
My little cactus
During the summer, Suz and I bought some cacti to spruce up our kitchen. Over Thanksgiving weekend, one of them decided to start sprouting! This succulent Haworthia, a generally low growing cactus, is supposed to sprout only in the spring time. Strangely, it’s now December and it’s already starting.
How cute
