OK so i was born in a roman catholic family and i was beatin over the head with a bible as a child but this does not mean that i am a firm believer in christianity, actually if anything this childhood trauma has probibly left a bad score for J.C on my list of things i want to endevaur when i get older... yet i still find the time to Celibrate this festive holiday that us as consumers love to spend on so graduitisly.
WHY!!??... this is the ultimate question that runs through my head as i walk along Queen street and look into the department store windows and see the orniments and fake snow, with santa hats and bullshit lighting that just jack up there stores electricity bill in the end anyways... well i think the answer to this Question WHY?, (and this mainly goes out to you non spirtitual consumerists out there)
because we have to...
we have no choice... no choice in the matter... a simple i love you, warm hug, (and for you lucky assholes) spooning by an open fire just won't cut it. no! instead we have to go out max out our credit cards and spend our hard earned money on people that we want to impress, all in the hopes that we will earn some sort of grade or score in there mental note book that will be forgetten in the next month anyways.
and hey guys, what about those awsome gifts that you spend hundreds on for those girlfriends that probibly won't even be around for the next christmas to come anyways?... what the hell happens to that waste of money?
CHRISTMAS... definition.. comsumerism at its finnest, bullshit ritual that we somehow follow through with in forgetting what the hell the true purpose about the day is... and a good majority of people that celibrate it don't even believe in ANYWAYS...
but non the less i will follow in line with the rest of the holiday sheep get the gifts for the people that i feel nesseccary to give to, hope they look at it and then look at me with a somewhat unfake smile, gimme a hug and tell me how much they've always wanted it... eat a bird that will make me want to explode and probibly shit myself, drink like a pirate hooker, and all along smile like i'm enjoying myself...
yes i sound like a scroog... yes i sound like a heartless bastard... but on the contrary, i believe in love and kindness absolutley and i try to show it to those that diserve it on a rather frequant basis... even though i'm single and live alone, i do know that giving to those you love shouldn't have to be a redaundant event that comes once a year and should be a popularity contest... but hey... this is just my oppinion and my lil rant
so this is where i say Merry christmas and Happy New year ya'll... and remember, from the words of my bud Lief Bodnerchuck
"as long as your spending, the torrorists are losing"
more to come...
