Wanting:
a Christmas like I remember them
Wearing:
navy blue and grey ON hoodie, navy blue and dark red ON jersey, black AZ Jean Co carpenter pants
Where am I now? No, I am not at the Internet Convenience Store that's right on Congress *shudders at the thought*, but rather I am at the Cyber Center at Wingspan with my brother while the winter edition of the 4th Avenue Street Fair goes on down the street. I might just go there and browse at all the gaudy offerings, we'll see.
For now, I've been in such a Christmasy mood that I've had a whole bunch of songs playing in my head for the past few days now. For the sake of filler, I'll dispose a list of my all-time favorite holiday songs; most of them contemporary (most of them coming from the Maybe This Christmas albums); they're less Jesus-centric that way.
1. Band Aid - "Do They Know It's Christmas?"
2. Celine Dion - "O Holy Night"
3. Jimmy Eat World - "12.23.95"
4. U2 - "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)"
5. John Lennon - "Happy Christmas (War Is Over)"
6. No Doubt - "Oi To The World"
7. Vanessa Carlton - "Green Sleeves"
8. The Barenaked Ladies featuring Sarah McLachlan - "Come Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"
9. Phantom Planet - "Winter Wonderland"
10. Coldplay - "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas"
11. Loreena McKennitt - "Snow"
12. Sixpence None The Richer - "It Came Upon A Midnight Clear"
I'll be back in about a week, if not sooner. Happy holidays!

Calling in to work when you're running late. So late that the trick that you do by not clocking in and feigning forgetfulness on your part won't do any good.Saying that the reason why you won't be in is because you need to take a mental health day. Not a stretch of the truth by any means, just merely a reveling in the fact that such a thing can be said and it not being labeled a broad-faced lie.
Taking the time otherwise peopled by work and going to McDonald's and treating yourself to an oh-so-irresistible sausage, egg and cheese McGriddle.
Cruising down Speedway watching all of the other 9 to 5ers scurry along their way to work, abandoning all sense of civility and cutting each other off, only to meet back up again at the next red light.
Enjoying said breakfast food indulgence item while parked on 4th Avenue and watching the shop owners tidy up their piece of the sidewalk as they prepare to open for what appears to be a long and prosperous Tuesday.
Walking down from 4th all the way to the University, all the while enjoying the sudden frigid coldness that is normally associated with December and watching all the beautiful college bois walk to their classes.
Taking this day off, knowing full well that one needs the money, especially in this season of holiday madness. It�s taking the day off as a way to rest up because one knows full well that there is a storm of responsibility coming and one will need to be without falter to get through it.

1. What holiday or holidays do you celebrate this time of year?
Christmas, definitely. Though more for an aesthetic reason and for the gifts. I get all the warm gushy stuff, with only a fraction of the Jesus.
2. What was the best gift you have ever received?
A non-Christmas gift; Thelma, my tempermental '96 Chevy S10 pick-up given to me by my parents back in Feb. '01.
3. What was the worst gift you've ever given?
Hehe... nothing. I put all of me into my gifts that I give, so it's either something splendiferous or nothing at all. Troubles with money at this time of year mandating me do the latter on more occasions than I care to mention.
4. Where will you be celebrating the holidays? Are you hosting? Going away?
I'm working on Christmas. Ain't that some shit? But, hopefully in return I will be getting New Year's off. A weird, convoluted trade-off that the genius (hope that sarcasm comes through) higher-ups at work came up with.
5. If you could spend the holidays with someone who isn't around, who would it be with? Why?
My mom and dad, it's pretty obvious.
Whatever. As an artist, I can chalk that up to eccentricity and no one would be the wiser. Kooky behavior such as this is expected, n'est pas?
