Holiday

Although Christmas/Holiday has been in full swing at the old bucks since mid-November, it's still *kinda* exciting to have the day approach. A week today would be Christmas! The Birth of Baby Jesus.

The words Baby Jesus hold special meanings now to Trish, Ruby and I. We watched Talladega nights the other day. The opening dinner sequence gave some enlightening and bountiful catch phrases for us to use everyday. Ricky Bobby was saying grace at the table, and he prays to Baby Jesus. His red-hot stone-cold fox of a wife said, "Jesus was a grown-up too, you know, he had a beard. It's kinda creepy for you to pray to Baby Jesus." To which Ricky Bobby replied, "I like Baby Jesus the best, I like the Christmas Jesus. When you say grace, you can pray to teenage Jesus, grown-up Jesus or bearded Jesus." or something to that extent, except more hilarious.

Baby Jesus. (spoken with a southern twang)

That movie was funny. And Ruby makes it even funnier.

The holiday is upon us. And soon it'll be time to make New Year's resolutions. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Christmas shopping, ah yes. The root of all evil, the commercialism that invades all of our wallets, whether you celebrate Christmas or not. I bought stuff, yeah. I went to the mall, yeah. Or rather, I braved the mall. And believe or not, I will be one of those people hanging around the mall at 7am on Boxing Day. Why? Because I believe in early birds get the worm or however the saying goes. And plus, have you seen the mall on Boxing day at 10am? Total chaos. I'd rather not. So that's my holiday plan. I'll be working through all the eves and holidays this year, so there is really no celebration. But not complaining, because I'll be making money. And I'm getting Boxing day off. OFF. I still can't believe I got a day off. It's so sad how daily routines can skew your perception so much.

Come to think of it, I've beeng pretty much working non-stop since April this year... 8 months, 8 long months without a break. Even though I say to all people when they inquire whether I am tired or not, that I am ok, it's just like when I had school. But it's different, it's different from doing school and part-time job on the side. My life wasn't run by the jobs, I had a separate life from the work. I was learning, and enjoying being a student during the last year of my education. Ah the last year, no wonder people ponder about grad school in their last year.

I had a wonderful time, even thought I was taking 6 courses, all back-to-back from 8:30am to 6pm, but I still had a wonderful time. Ah, the rose-tinted spectacles of the past, how I adore thee. Holiday is also a good time for a year in review. Sigh. It's like I did nothing this year.

Good ol' 2006.

And this entry shall define randomeness.
