Ahhhh Christmas. Let me first say that I like people who like Christmas. I have just grown so indifferent to it. I'm not a Christian, I'm not in to blatant consumerism and I don't really have a lot of twinkly nostalgic feelings relating to the innocent kinder days of yore, so why would I like Christmas you may ask? Because as with all of life.....it is a fantastic chance to observe our bizzare behaviour and analyze it. For example:
Driving around the big city
Has anyone else noticed that this is the worst time of the year to be on the road? People turn into the biggest assholes in holiday traffic. Rushing to get to whatever meglo-mart to buy whatever turd of a gift that the reciever will just throw away and or give away and or break in no time flat. I wonder what the collective blood pressure is of people stuck in traffic outside of a mall the day before Christmas would be? Im sure it would be high enough to explode a normal human in negative 30 minutes.
I guess what I'm trying to say here is that it just seems so contractual. We say "Merry Christmas" like we say "God Bless You", we aren't REALLY praying to god for god to bless that person, we just know that its the thing to say when someone sneezes, (I prefer the german "gesundhiet" or good health to you),. We just grow up with it and most of us never really question it out of fear of bieng labeled a "Scrooge." I'm not bah-humbugging here, I mean I guess that Christmas is good for the economy. And I really do enjoy all of the lights and decorations. I just wish it wasn't made such a big deal of by nearly EVERYFREAKIN PERSON IN THE NORTHERN HEMISHPERE!!!!!!!! jeez

Though since I've already been through a bunch of sick, I feel like winter should be over. I don't really love cold unless there's snow on the ground. Which there isn't right now. I want to go sledding a few times, and then I'll be looking forward to Spring.
Good luck on your first DJ gig- sounds interesting enough. I don't think I've ever heard much garage/surf/etc from Turkey. Maybe possibly probably none? and Good luck on your trip. Sounds nice, wish I could join ya. When are you leaving? Maybe I'll meet you there.
kwang chong is my man also
