Christmas 2004
A belated Happy Holidays to all 4 of the people in the world who read this.
My Xmas was more of a relief then anything else. For the first time that I remember we celebrated the holiday at home instead of the usual trek down the 5 to our Uncle's place in La Palma. Good in the sense that I didn't have to deal with traffic orhave to sneak outside to smoke. Bad in the sense that much cleaning was required to make it safe for the friends I invited over.
Instead of this week's expected 40 + New years turnout, Christmas was a much more manageable 15 people. Being the social butterfly that I am most of my day was spent in my room with the dog. Reason being that my dog does not get along with my bro's dog so one of them had to be out of sight. I leave my dog alone in my room and shit gets trashed with much swiftness. Not a good thing. You put them together and my German Shepard and the bro's Maltese start barking their heads off and chasing each other around, knocking over things like tv trays and Bachans. So the dog and I took a 2 hr nap in the midst of the festivities before my friends came over.
Dinner was the usual interantional smorgasboard. Onigiri, prime rib, tamales, and my cousin's nasty vegetarian faux turkey being some of the highlights. The plate of fudge my bro's mather in law made it's way to my room and never returned to the general populance. I love that shit. Dieting comes after New years.
Lots and lots of gifts. I opened the majoirty in the lair out of public sight since I have way more friends then the brothers and I think it'd make them feel bad to see how much cooler the shit I get is.
This years haul:
The afore mentioned batting cage coupons. Talk about practical.
Hikaru Utada cd. Raising my level of fobbiness one song at a time.
Long Johns, tops and bottoms. I lend my worthless brother $300 to do Xmas shopping and this how he shows his appreciation. The Target box it came in did nothing to deepen my affection for his sorry ass.
Long sleeved Adidas shirt. At least it's blue.
Sonice the Hedgehog T. Cool print. I'd prolly wear this if it wasn't brown. Fucking brown. I don't wear brown.
Transformers T. At least it gray. But when did I ever like the Transformers? Robotech so kicks the Transformers ass.
The Superhero Book. Another reason for me to want to read comics again. Funny thing is I actually already bought this book for somebody else's gift. Great minds think alike.
Silver necklace and bracelet. If I put all my siver jewelry together I can look like a welfare version of Slick Rick. Somebody get me an eyepatch.
Silver hoop earring. Too bad my holes closed up ages ago.
Black suede jacket. Where am I gonna wear this? It'll prolly look dope with a big ass belt buckle and a 10 gallon hat and boots.
Spiderman 2 dvd. Last person in the world to watch this movie. I liked it. I still don't think Kristin Dunst is all that good looking. Ruins every MJ fantasy I ever had.
Indiana Jones trilogy dvds. Ooooo. Why does Short Round remind me of Eric? Still haven't watched the 1st or 3rd movie or the special features dvd. Temple of Doom is my all time fave. "Doctah Jones, Doctah Jones".
A bunch of cool vcds. Young and Dangerous makes me want to marry Lynrei. I'd be a great fucking triad.
Gil Scott Heron CD. Yes. Lets go kill whitey.
The complete Farside collection. I was never a fan of this but am now. Probably the most popular gift among my friends and family. Even if each volume weighs 10 lbs these were being passed around all day long.
3 $50 Best But gift cards. Score. I think I want speakers for the comp. Or at least thats what I wanted 5 minutes ago.
Time Crisis for the PS2. The game we know and love from Castle Park comes home. Complete with gay looking orange gun. Ahhhhh. Stress relief.
Assorted $$ in envelops I haven't opened yet. Can we say rainy day?
