Happy Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior Day
is it not freedom of speech to be able to call December 25 anything you'd like?
i've never made fun of jesus a day in my life and i dont intend to now. its just that everyone forgets exactly why dec. 25 is important. if you dont believe in jesus you arent even supposed to be celebrating. you can have a day devoted to gift giving. BUT it really is a christian holiday. theres also other celebrations going on. but get over the political correctness. who said its not american to get left out. someone is always left out. just because you arent a christian doesnt mean that people shouldnt be allowed to say Merry Christmas. everyone cant be included all the time. and if you dont believe in jesus why do you even care that everyone is celebrating him anyways?
happy holidays everyone. no matter what you believe. no matter what you celebrate. and MERRY CHRISTMAS KIDS. i love you friends family and anyone else who could be reading.

Cool Like That
thats one of my friends. i have called him Cool Like That since i met him. to me thats his name and its hard for me to even remember that his REAL name is David. wow David it just doesnt seem like the right name for him. he looks more like a cool like that. and its funny because all of my friends that dont know him but hear me talk about him refer to him as cool like that, and so does my mom. so this spanish woman with her accent asks how 'cool like that' is doing... lol
just a random post. sorry
just a random post. sorry
So tomorrow is christmas eve huh?

BUT after it stops it goes super fast to catch up. well thats what happened. and now i'm getting busted in the face with time. theres no time. christian comes back in 2 months. thats it 2 MORE MONTHS. and i'll be in school non-stop till next may. i'm a junior trying to keep up my gpa, and after this 'vacation' from the real world i'm faced with the really REAL WORLD all too fast all to suddenly. can i handle it?

DoDoDoDah Dooooo Dah Do [xmen theme song]
so recently i've become addicted to nick gas AND watching the old x-men and spiderman animated series. its WONDERFUL! remembering the story lines and learning new ones and figuring out super heros and villians. it really comes in handy in life :) knowing who apocalypse is and Cable and who Jean Gray turns into and shizite.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTIAN

Ode to Jason
omy goodness. I saw one of my oldest friends from Immaculate Conception [grade school] at a bar on saturday. can you believe it? we used to be inseperable. to the point where one of his little girlfriends during grade school broke up with him because she was jealous of our relationship. hehehe we were children. well anyways turns out that about 10 years ago i gave him a \best friendship ring. you know what that is... like there are two rings and one says "best" and the other says "friends". anyways he put his on his hunting bag and has kept it for about a decade. he still has his ring. thats unbelievable. well i have a date with him tomorrow. just to catch up for the years that we haven't seen or spoken to each other.
isnt it sad looking back on your life and all the people that you CAN NEVER forget and yet somehow you live your life as if you have forgotten? im very happy

APPARENTLY he's hanging out with all of the older kids with cars and shit. and even this girlfriend of his could drive.

SOME GUY POSTED THIS AND I LOVE IT..
This is a tribute to the nice guys. The nice guys that finish last, that never become more than friends, that endure hours of whining and bitching about what assholes guys are, while disproving the very point. This is dedicated to those guys who always provide a shoulder to lean on but restrain themselves to tentative hugs, those guys who hold open doors and give reassuring pats on the back and sit patiently outside the changing room at department stores. This is in honor of the guys that obligingly reiterate how cute/beautiful/smart/funny/sexy their female friends are at the appropriate moment, because they know most girls need that litany of support. This is in honor of the guys with open minds, with laid-back attitudes, with honest concern. This is in honor of the guys who respect a girl’s every facet, from her privacy to her theology to her clothing style.
This is for the guys who escort their drunk, bewildered female friends back from parties and never take advantage once they’re at her door, for the guys who accompany girls to bars as buffers against the rest of the creepy male population, for the guys who know a girl is fishing for compliments but give them out anyway, for the guys who always play by the rules in a game where the rules favor cheaters, for the guys who are accredited as boyfriend material but somehow don’t end up being boyfriends, for all the nice guys who are overlooked, underestimated, and unappreciated, for all the nice guys who are manipulated, misled, and unjustly abandoned, this is for you.This is for that time she left 40 urgent messages on your cell phone, and when you called her back, she spent three hours painstakingly dissecting two sentences her boyfriend said to her over dinner. And even though you thought her boyfriend was a chump and a jerk, you assured her that it was all ok and she shouldn’t worry about it. This is for that time she interrupted the best killing spree you’d ever orchestrated in GTA3 to rant about a rumor that romantically linked her and the guy she thinks is the most repulsive person in the world. And even though you thought it was immature and you had nothing against the guy, you paused the game for two hours and helped her concoct a counter-rumor to spread around the floor. This is also for that time she didn’t have a date, so after numerous vows that there was nothing “serious” between the two of you, she dragged you to a party where you knew nobody, the beer was awful, and she flirted shamelessly with you, justifying each fit of reckless teasing by announcing to everyone: “oh, but we’re just friends!” And even though you were invited purely as a symbolic warm body for her ego, you went anyways. Because you’re nice like that.
The nice guys don’t often get credit where credit is due. And perhaps more disturbing, the nice guys don’t seem to get laid as often as they should. And I wish I could logically explain this trend, but I can’t. From what I have observed on campus and what I have learned from talking to friends at other schools and in the workplace, the only conclusion I can form is that many girls are just illogical, manipulative bitches. Many of them claim they just want to date a nice guy, but when presented with such a specimen, they say irrational, confusing things such as “oh, he’s too nice to date” or “he would be a good boyfriend but he’s not for me” or “he already puts up with so much from me, I couldn’t possibly ask him out!” or the most frustrating of all: “no, it would ruin our friendship.” Yet, they continue to lament the lack of datable men in the world, and they expect their too-nice-to-date male friends to sympathize and apologize for the men that are jerks. Sorry, guys, girls like that are beyond my ability to fathom. I can’t figure out why the connection breaks down between what they say (I want a nice guy!) and what they do (I’m going to sleep with this complete ass now!). But one thing I can do, is say that the nice-guy-finishes-last phenomenon doesn’t last forever. There are definitely many girls who grow out of that train of thought and realize they should be dating the nice guys, not taking them for granted. The tricky part is finding those girls, and even trickier, finding the ones that are single..
So, until those girls are found, I propose a toast to all the nice guys. You know who you are, and I know you’re sick of hearing yourself described as ubiquitously nice. But the truth of the matter is, the world needs your patience in the department store, your holding open of doors, your party escorting services, your propensity to be a sucker for a pretty smile. For all the crazy, inane, absurd things you tolerate, for all the situations where you are the faceless, nameless hero, my accolades, my acknowledgement, and my gratitude go out to you. You do have credibility in this society, and your well deserved vindication is coming.

post edit... i felt like it was its own topic
i never understood why people read novels that are basically so close to real life that they might as well be picking up a non-fiction biography or book on an actual event.
