First I must say that I feel a little remiss; last Friday was a national holiday and I completely forgot about it. December 5 was the 75th Anniversary of the repeal of Prohibition, so break out the booze, gather up the kids and have a drink to celebrate the repeal of the dumbest constitutional amendment ever. Lift a glass and get drunk off your ass!
Second I have to present this week's Ironic Idiot Award. It goes to the guy that was having a personal conversation on his cell phone in public by my counter. He was complaining loudly about people who have personal conversations on their cell phones in public.
And now for the alcohol related news. I had almost half a bottle of Captain, I've drunk the whole thing and all I have is a decent buzz going. I was going to get a full bottle on the way home but I left the lights on in the van (because the damn thing doesn't have an alarm that tells you you've left the lights on) and after I got a jump I just wasn't in the mood to go to the liquor store. My goal is to be able to drink a whole bottle in one night and not be hung over the next day. Why you ask? My buddy Curtis' 21st birthday is in a few months and I need to get into shape. I want to be able to drink the lil fucker under the table just so I can laugh at him. Yeah, I'm a great friend, aren't I?
And now, after the random stuff
I had a shitty day today. There were four managers at work, one cashier and that was all until 3. Our cashier was the only one who got to go to lunch because, oh surprise, we were busy as hell. I swear, any time anyone says to me, 'Merry Christmas' I want to punch them in the fucking throat. People are total assholes at Christmas. You want to know what I saw this morning? I was getting off the highway and about to turn on the street the store is on when I saw a woman holding a sign. Got any idea what it said? 'Need money for kid's Xmas. Anything helps.' What the fuck is wrong with the world when you're measure for the love you have for your children and your measure of your parenthood are measured by what you can buy them for Christmas? Now if I remember correctly, isn't Christmas supposed to celebrate the birth of Jesus or something? Even the secular interpretation is that it is a celebration of peace and joy on earth. The emphasis on
'getting stuff' is just obscene in my opinion. Don't agree with me? Tough shit; I couldn't care less. Working retail makes me even more pissed off; as previously stated people become total assholes at Christmas. Take a look at what happened at that WalMart in Long Island this year. Not only did these slugs trample another human being to death in the pursuit of a deal, none of them gave a shit that someone died. I got to work on Black Friday at 5:45am and there was a line wrapped around the building. When we ran out of items in the ad people got pissed at US; like it was our personal fault that it happened. Quite honestly, fuck them. I personally ignore Christmas and if I decide I want something (like that shiny new X-Box 360) I save the money and get it myself. Sorry Santa, you can put coal in my stocking all you want, I'm not playing anymore. You can just kiss my ass. Oh yeah, and send Mrs. Claus around. I bet she could use a good time since you only cum once a year. Yeah, I'd be all up in that shit. OK, creeped out yet? Yeah, so am I. Let's move on, shall we?
And speaking of the X-Box
I've been waffling back and forth between saving up and getting a PS3 or caving in and getting an X-Box. I wanted to get the PS3 because I wanted to be able to play my PS2 and classic PlayStation games. Well, I finely found out something, maybe I wasn't reading everything or what but it seems that PS3's are not backwards compatible. Well, to hell with that. The only advantage to a PS3 is that they play Blue Ray movies. Um, yeah, I don't think so. I should be able to get one by the end of the year, and now I just have to figure out what game I want to get first. Any suggestions are welcome. So far I've had 'Gears of War' and 'Rockstar' suggested. I've also been looking at 'Bad Company' and 'Ghostbusters', but that won't be out until June.
And speaking of things I'm kicking back for, I WANT MY FUCKING CAR NOW!!!! I'm still driving this gigantic panel van and quite frankly, I fucking hate it. The due date for my car being ready is next week and I hope it's like, uh, Monday. Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate the fact that Craig has given me a loaner for the past two months while he's finished going over the car he's selling me with a fine tooth comb but this van is a total bitch to drive. I think I'll take a picture of it and post it so you all can understand my pain.
Oh, and I got this in an email. It's fucking great.
"If you ask me, this country could do with a little less motivation. The people who are causing all the trouble seem highly motivated to me. Serial killers, stock swindlers, drug dealers, Christian Republicans; I'm not sure that motivation is always a good thing. You show me a lazy prick lying in bed all day watching TV, and I'll show you a guy who's not causing any trouble."

I just checked my bank account and I think I can pull of getting the X-Box AND the down payment on my car, uh, now. SWEET!!!!
