A giant black and white hard-boiled sweet
Check out my new Jesus:

This guy is top cat. He chats on and on so I suppose if you’re incapable of concentrating on anything more than a paragraph of text then he’ll probably bore you to death.
Give him a go though, and fill him in on your thoughts and if you don’t like him, re-write him. Seriously… he’s used to it, he’d probably even really appreciate it.
Meanwhile I’m a busy, busy boy. One birthday down, one to go and then it’s Christmas. Everyone in my office is being encouraged to decorate their desk for the festive season. I’m trying to gather the self confidence required to display a giant black and white hard-boiled sweet on my desk with the word HUMBUG emblazoned across it. I’m sure no-one will mind, so long as I put a jar of sweets out to accompany it, but I don’t know if I can deal with having to explain to everyone why I don’t like Christmas. Why I don’t appreciate massive amounts of money being made out of obliged generosity. Why I don’t agree with the vast waste generated by cards, wrapping paper and constantly strobing public lighting. Why I don’t think it’s fun sharing the same red and white experience of Christmas as everybody else in the western world. The worst thing about Christmas is being made to feel ‘weird’ for not digging it all.
And you know what… this is probably just the first, second, maybe third in a long line of TRADITIONAL anti-Christmas rants that you’ll hear this year so what does it really matter anyway?
Do I come across as negative?
How about defeatist?
Cynical?
Maybe you haven’t really thought about how I come across? Maybe you think I’m flattering myself by presuming that you even think of me at all.
In which case, do I come across as self important?
