I believe the modern Christmas truly is just for kids, as it
should be. I am all for a childhood to be as car-free as possible. However for adults
Christmas should turn into a feeling—as opposed to being a time of materialistically
getting presents. This feeling inside should make us as conscious beings if for
no other time than just one single day a year—feel like being a little bit
nicer, or happier, or just down right more decent all around. Forget all the political
and religious mumbo jumbo bullshit that is choking life right out of existence.
I wish just for one day, people would look over their fences, and say “hello neighbor we can pick up sticks against
one another tomorrow, but for today let us laugh, and breathe an easy sigh of
relief because we made it here today to enjoy today.” ‘Let tomorrow go in whatever direction today could
take us.’ Sad really!
Here I am 35 years old, and I am yet again going to spend
another well Christmas has come and gone, but here it is New Years, and I am
again going to be alone, with no money to go out—no want to either. No special
someone to ring in the new year with by choosing to be with that one person you
want to have there with you the very minute things start over, and become refreshed
in this new born of a year. Either with a kiss or—makin the sheets sing—I am
more than hopeful next New Year’s Eve my sheets will be regular opera singers.
(HAHAHA!)
An old friend of mine from high school messaged me a while
ago saying “my daughter is selling Girl
Scout cookies would I want some.” My first thought is of course “if her daughter is selling these cookies
then why didn’t her daughter make the sales pitch.” I mean come on let her get
all “Billy Mays,” on me, and make a
sale. When I was a kid I remember my school was selling Rainforest Crunch
which was a peanut brittle I think. I just know it sucked carrying it, and
tasted like shit. If a kid pawned enough of this garbage off then they could
win some useless hunk of shit thing they would never use. Like one of the “prizes”
offered was a double plastic ball clacker thing. A person takes this fucking
thing waves it up and down like a fucking asshole just to hear the balls go
clack, clack, clack—another prize was this bright neon yellow fanny pack. Now
fanny packs blew up at this time, and I wanted me that some bitch. So I schlep
that crap up and down my ginormous hill, but it was a prize for attaining a set
goal, and I wanted them—so I did it.
After I finally decided on what cookies I wanted to
get we had talked a few minutes, and caught up. Finally we said goodbye, and
proceeded to stop talking; all of a sudden she messages me back, and said “ask
people at work and other people u know please and ty.” I see that, and I
automatically think “now you want me to sell your daughters cookies? Pshhh get
the fuck out of here!” So if anyone wants any just let me know—so I can tell
her! HaHaHaHa NOT!
You are so freaking funny - I needed a laugh today and I thank you so much for giving me many.
