Mighty X-Mas
And another Christmas passes me by. Its sad how this holiday has turned from a day you waited months for, to a day your glad you just dont have to work. Im sure someday when i have kids itll bring the magic back, but for now the fact that i can spend one nice day with my family is good enough. Its really dissapointing that at this age some people only look forward to christmas purely for their materialistic gain, and most of them dont even believe in God.
Besides the normally badgering about girls, my Dad breaking into tears after reading my card, and the akward arguements of family members (not my own) one thing i didnt expect was that my dad and his long time girlfriend announced they were getting married. I always assumed it was going to happen, but i cant really say how i feel about it. In one sense im happy for my dad, but i guess im just worried at how my mom will take the news. I dont talk about my parents divorce much, but basically my dad just kicked her to the curb and well im just not sure if the news will anger her, or whether she will accept it and at least be happy that he is and in the end it will benefit her kids. These days i see my dad more as a friend and a mentor than a father, so i will be happy for him. Other than that the many Christmas calls i made to my friends was rad.
Besides that, work has really been on my mind (BOOOORING!). Right now im makng $6 less an hour than the base average, and sure they all have been there for awhile but i work just as hard as them (in most cases harder) and screw up less. I vent about this a little too much, but it just sucks to live in a shithole apartment and scrape by every paycheck when i shouldnt have to. I have so much leverage to get a raise at my annual review i seriously believe ill be able to talk myself into a $3 raise.....im good like that.
Anyways i have to go move my car and put on a cd to drown out the sounds of the damn Oakland PD.
