I mean, I'm all for people being happy - but when they become pushy about it or start proclaiming "theirs" is the only holiday, etc etc
well and ANYways - I've never been a celebrant and it's rare that I do a thing on holidays ( other than the rare occasion of dealing with celebrants and their oftimes inanity )
particularly any that are religious in origin - I avoid those "holidays" like the plague
most "holidays" I can count on one hand with fingers left over how many times I've done a demn thing on them that comes even close to celebrating, even less enjoying in a "holiday"/celebrant fashion
...today's holiday, for instance, there's only two in particular that come to mind
one a Thanksgiving where I was invited to by someone I was dating which turned into a battleground between date and their parent that destroyed a kitchen and all the food that led to ordering pizza ( for them, chicken/breadsticks for me )
another a Thanksgiving when I lived 5m from the canadian border and joined someone up to the bars/stripclubs just over the border when on the way back they decided to drunkenly cut down a tree within sight of the border station... they held his car and we got a ride back home
( to add to the humour I knew the officer and later after being dropped off I went out drinking WITH the officer when he was off-duty *smirks* - without letting the earlier fellow know in the least )
V'day being the least celebrated - not surprising, being that I've only dated 4 people in 25+yrs - only one of which lasted longer than 40days ( the ex-wife )
the only one that springs to mind is when, after work, I was taken to a restaurant with a private table, my favourite food already ordered, candlelit table and all... only so she could explain how she'd cheated on me... again...
she wanted to do it the 'nicest way possible' ( *sighs* )
ANYways... most holidays fall during the 'cold season,' when it's rare that I even want to be out and about as it is!
but whichever and whatever, I just intend to spend the day today with Bond, a glass or two of wine, some crispy bacon... and, yeh, that's probably about it
a bit on the too cold side to go wandering, even if some place does happen to be open for food/drink
( on a side note, I need to check my home e'mail more often - one nearly closed due to inactivity *smirks* )
SO... enjoy your day - or don't - I can't exactly force you, can I, my Lovelies and Gentlefolk ? ;)
couple weeks of twits::
11/13 :
during today's "mass cleaning" I've learned
1) spawnlings: not so helpful
2) vacuum: after many fixes, sucks... because it doesn't :(
11/15 :
already midway through Nov... and a mere month-and-a-half until the new year begins - demn, this year of chaos and inanity is flying by...
11/15 II :
no, I don't like the hatred spewed nor violent actions, which BOTH sides are guilty of, nor do I approve of faux and/or illegal "protests"
11/16 :
"are you a cat person or dog person?"
depends on how they're prepared...
11/17 :
"you know she's an immigrant, right?"
a legal one, yes
"that's not the point..."
it's THE point, actually
11/18 :
nothing yet - and in my area may end up fairly light - but we're expecting the first snows of the season here this afternoon with high wind
11/18 II :
en route home ( rem: I live a block from work ), someone half-on/half-off the sidewalk talking to an officer... the person turns to me :
"would YOU think that the road would be slippery?"
obviously - it's snowing and was raining, you can tell by LOOKING at it - hells, I even have to walk slow on these sidewalks
"WHATever, siding with a COP!"
[officer:] keep moving, sir
you got it, good sir
//THIS// is why some people shouldn't be driving
11/20 (1a) :
dreams of relatives tend to be angry ones, dreams of the dead tend to be strange... combine the two and, well... ANYways, back to sleep
11/20 II :
disappointed in grocery deliver today - their print-outs showed pick-up instead ( online still shows delivery ), so will be delivered later
11/21 : "I won't stop protesting until Trump is no longer president"
that's 1,521 days... good luck with the unemployment & lack of food
11/21 II :
ah, wintertide, how I loathe thee so... but only 7mths 'til summertide *shivers*
11/23 :
I believe that crispy bacon, a bottle of wine ( Menage A Trois Midnight ), and James Bond makes a good enough holiday - enjoy your day off!

-thom Wolfox sR Rhose
unusualist - I have yet to find a religion and/or spirituality that fits my own personal beliefs... other than, of course, the fact I am a (fallen) god.
( y'just now figured out that I'm basically a non-practicing hedonist? "if it feels good, do it, if it feels bad, you're doing it wrong" )
( "I believe in the proven power of willpower and the truth we are the gods we created. No one being created this universe and its wonders." )
( "the words of wisdom I follow will be the words I've written myself based on the life and experiences that I have Lived, Enjoyed, & Survived" )
( "I live not for tomorrow nor yesterday, but for the day in which I dwell - today. Today is who I am, I know not who I'll be tomorrow, nor am I who I once was. Aspects of yesterday may remain into tomorrow, but I'm never completely the same, for each day I live, I learn and this knowledge changes me, rebuilds part of me, and I am anew." )
( "may the platelets of justice travel the bloodstream of villainy, clog its arteries with honourable vengeance, and induce a coronary of truth" )
( "we are all inmates in the same asylum, some of us are just better at bribing the guards" / *breathe ... relax ... kill ... rinse ... repeat* )
( "Who do I think I am? thom Wolfox sR Rhose, official slaveboy, SchmooGod of the MidWest, and RedKnight of Pattern - amongst other names, why?" )
( "In a previous life I was the engine block to a '56 chevy, I lost my heart to a Volkswagen Bus... er, wait - or was that a '57?" )
( "I may not be the brightest orange in this bag o'donuts, but I know vasoline when I smell it!" / "Godfuck Me, Jesus!" )
"Just fear me, love me, do as I say, and I will be your slave..."
"Oh, man. I'm sensing something very canadian about this place..."
"It's all true, god's an astronaut, Oz is over the rainbow, and Midian is where the monsters live..."
Jax : "yay for you, do you want a cookie or a bozo button?"
