Hate for the Holidays

I know I am not alone when I express my particular distaste for this time of year. Every year from the beginning of November to the second week of January I am in a foul mood. The first thing that pisses me off are the commercials. I am single but even if I was in a relationship with my soulmate, the love of my life, I know I wouldn't be buying anyone a Lexus or Mercedes for christmas. The luckiest a lady would get with me would be maybe a Honda Civic but I don't think they give you the big bow to put on it like at the luxury dealers. As for the jewelry commercials I can understand that but I am abaolutely tired of every holiday the diamond cartel has to run a million commercials with the "show her you really love her theme". More like the "show her you're sorry for getting that handy from the coworker in the office parking lot last week" present. And can we have one holiday that actually glorifies the unattached person instead of having to sit through commercials that make singles feel like a freak for not being able to or simply not wanting to keep a relationship together. I hate the crowds and the traffic, not even shoppping but trying to do anything this time of year. Most of all though, I hate the "Christmas Spirit". Have we fallen so far as a society that we can only be charitable and nice to each other for four weeks a year? More than anything I hate hearing "Come on, its Christmas" as an excuse used by someone who is utterly irresponsible to be able to slide a little further. If it weren't for the children I would absolutely be a hermit this time of year and would do no decorating. People make me sick over this. It already looks like Santa threw up on my block and all I can say is the $1500 dollars worth of crap in your yard makes you an even bigger asshole than I already thought you were. I am half tempted to erect a six foot menorrah in my front yard just to stick it to my neaighbors that have a two-foot cross mounted on the front of there house. Year round. No shit.

Halloween Hangover

Does anyone else get a little depressed after Halloween? I love autumn, the weathers been great, I have a vacation coming up in a week, and yet I feel a little comedown. Now I am no Halloween fanata but I enjoy a good time and like to party in general so I do look forward to it. And yes I like the sexy, skimpy, whorey costumes women wear these days, which brings up a larger point of why men even bother to wear costumes anymore, nobody gives a shit. I did see and awesome fat dude Anna Nicole Smith and the classic gorilla costume I just don't think men should even try unless its something really good like the priest costume with the altar boy stuck to the crotch. In fact I even wore a costume this year for the first time in several (if you can count a severed pigs head mask with a suit and tie as a costume) for a party last weekend. Now that the parties are over and the costumes have been packed away Ive got a slight sense of loss. I don't know if its because there are only 60 days left in the year at this point, if its because the holidays are a miserable time and depressing as hell and Im just looking forward I dont know. It maybe that its always hard going back to work after a holiday, even one you didnt get a day off for like St. Patricks day (god bless it). Or maybe its because most years its just a let down. Its never as fun as that one year, the costumes arent as good, the parties and bars and clubs are lame, maybe the woman you hooked up with is not as hot as that one legendary night whenever it was for you (or maybe you didnt hook up at all but remember the one time you did). I dont know but im taking a xanax before finishing up the work I was supposed to get done on Friday but definitely needs to be done by tomorrow. "Be excellent to each other..."

Get Down Make Love

This is a great song, I prefer the Nine Inch Nails version to Queen's original for getting in the mood, its raunchier, sexier, and unambiguous... Heres a sample of the lyric, praise be to Freddie Mercury:

Get down make love
Everytime I get hot
You wanna cool down
Everytime I get high
You say you wanna come down
You say it's enough
In fact it's too much
Everytime I get a - Get down, get down
Make love -
I can squeeze - You can shake me
I can feel - when you break me
Come on so heavy - when you take me -
You make love, you make love, you make love, you make love
You can make everybody get down make love
Get down make love
