Merry Christmas! Gifts For All!

Well, how was everyone Christmas? [or Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or Ramadan...]

Been meaning to sit down and type is thing up, since before Christmas, but things just got away from me. My Job I talked about all those weeks ago ended Wednesday. ("Getting fired for Christmas? Bummer man.")

So now that that's over with, I can resume both my search for more Wallet-fillers, as well as resuming my research into all things sloth (yum! seven deadly sins!). Other than that, I'm getting ready for a trip down south to meet with some relatives, many of which we haven't seen for a year or two. Celebrate the New Year with 'em and whatnot.

So, since you haven't told me yet, how did you enjoy your Commercialism Season? I enjoyed it with cookies. And a new Camera. And a butt-ton of Gift Cards... Now, I don't have anything against Christmas (or whatever else fuels the economy this time of year), but the commercialism behind it has gotten rather ridiculous in the past decade or so. I mean, I like gifts too, but get me something small another time of the year.

Hell, people take Christmas and the whole season for granted a lot nowadays. It's been Proven with Science.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed it however you do that, be it with Family, Friends, or the Computer Screen.

Does not Bode.

This week started off great.

And by great, I mean horribly. I don't really want to complain here. Anyone else that is on the internet does not want to read my sob-story. Particularly not
mine. But this being an exceptional case of the Monday-Fails, I thought it'd be worth your while.

I wake up. It's Monday, November 30th. (Picture that with one of those Law&Order/CSI scene-opener kinda tunes in the background...). Sun is shining. Weather is Beautiful. I walk out the door, realizing that, leaving this early, I'll make it to class well before it starts, not
just-as! Now since this hasn't happened much in the last two or three weeks, I'm ecstatic. Get it my car. Turn the Key. Nothing.

Nothing at all. Turns out my key was worn out (or something like that) and they had to replace the entire ignition system (or something like that). Well, two missed classes later, I was having a fairly good day. My Bio class (the only one I made it to that day) was as fun as always, and a good friend, back from (is back the right word?), anyways, a friend of mine who's back home, he gave me a lift.

Next, I shall grace your web presence with what has also happened the last few days. Let me start out by saying that me and my brother are not always on the best of terms. A "tough-love" description is probably the best fit. A common mutual annoyance is possibly even better. Anyways, to cut an explanation short, if we get into a bit of an argument, we tend to "devolve" and settle it the old fashioned way. Simple rules, first to knock the other over is "winner", and the "loser" leaves them alone.

In the spirit of the stupid spat, I pinned him. But in the process of doing so, I twisted my back (or something like that). Hurts like hell. But this does not seem to bode well with my recent Job Offer. Yes, you read/heard me right. I got a job offer. But as luck may have it (or unluck, in light of my back) it is a job with a Package company. You know that entails? Lifting things™. Hoo boy... Not at all. Bodes not at all...

Well, I'll keep you up to speed on the Job. I start Monday.
