Well it seems if I have been posting one date late recently, but it’s hard to post during the night, and my mornings are generally boring. Anyhow yesterday (Saturday) was a very good day.

I woke up, and skipped the ACT test, yep, I just blew it off. Sure I paid for it, but I really didn't care, I didn't want to go though, and I was tired as hell. Instead I had a great morning of sleeping and Halo2. I finally got enough clan members in our clan for Major Clan Matches, and its so great, very intensive competition.

My dad is really freaking me out recently. Usually he watches me like a hawk, and waits for me to do something that he can bitch about. But he asked if Fiona was coming over, I said yes, and he left for the entire day, in fact he didn't even come home during the night, 10:00AM and no sign of him. Very interesting.

And for those of you that have been asking Fiona really provocative questions, let me put your questions to rest. Me and Fiona haven’t done anything expect for maybe kiss yet. When she came over, we watched "Catch Me If You Can", and then some Anime Cartoons. Also, you can be assured that I will never pressure Fiona to do anything, ever. So don't worry about that. Also I really and truly like Fiona. The real main thing I look for in a girl is being able to talk without having to explain myself over and over again. I have never had that problem with Fiona, and it’s been really nice.

Well my sister drove her home, and then it was back to Halo2. I had 6 people over, we played two boxes, and two TV, and we all played online. We all wore headsets, not that it really mattered because we could only talk to the team, and the whole team was us, so a lot of good that did us, but that was fun as hell. The last 3 people left at 3AM. We played over 100 games last night, and I drank over 12 bottle of Starbucks Frappuncino to keep myself awake. But that was a blast.

Well that’s really it, what a day. Tomorrow I’ll do the xanga post, but not now. I got to do Lonergan’s essay, it’s already late, now I just got to do it. =)

Holiday Coments

Today my day was great was great, most of which I can’t talk about. So as I said yesterday (or Thursday as it might be now) Let get to my comments on holidays and gifts.

To me, giving gifts on holidays, except for maybe birthdays and anniversaries, is pointless. For those that are religious, then giving gifts makes no sense at all. Let’s see why starting with the JEWS.

Hanukah is a celebration of the victory of the Maccabees and the rededication of the Jerusalem Temple. It also commemorates the miracle of the oil that burned for 8 days. Now, if you can explain why people give gifts here, please tell me, because that has nothing to do with gift giving at all.

X-Mas has a bit better of an explanation, but still not correct. The excuse people that give gifts are that we are celebrating Christ’s birthday. So, shouldn’t we just donate to the Church, because then we are giving gifts to Christ, but that doesn’t work. The 2nc excuse people give is Chris Cringle, a real person that packed money in little red bags, and threw it down the chimneys of the poor. This is the exact idea of Santa, but come on, if you are poor, then you are not the one giving gifts, and if you are rich you are not supost to get them. Also this was during the SUMMER when the fireplace was off. So, this doesn’t even work. The fact is the Church found another way to milk its followers of money, and will continue to do that, as long as you follow.

Being non-religious I still find it pointless. I would have to collect all this money to buy gifts for everyone, just to receive the same amount that I spent back in gifts returned. Can you explain why this makes sense? I would rather just stay were I am money wise then give a bunch of gifts that people don’t want, to receive a bunch of gifts I don’t want, and go into debt because of it.

Of course I am going to give a few gifts this year to close people, only because if I don’t I am looked at as wrong. But, the ideas behind it make no sense.

And please don’t say that it show you care, because it’s a valid point. This is why I am also give gifts, but there are other ways to show you care then spending money. And why do people need to be reassured of a persons care, if the person was just trying to use you, then buying a gift would be the best thing for him, because you view it as he/she cared, but in fact they are just trying to use you. So this is a very exploitable reason, and also doesn’t make sense.

Ah well that’s the holidays for you.

Me in the 60ies 

Hello, So what, I just start posting here randomly. Ah ok.. Well lets get started then..

Today was like any other day, doged though class to class, doing nothing but playing with myself (with the help of my phone). This came in handy when I realized that the reason I could't SMS some people was because of a stupid one which blocked messenging. Fixed now, great for me. All 6th, 7th, and 8th period I was paging Fiona, but never acctually talked to her I found out after it all. One of her friends where replying. It was intresting.

I also went to my frist keyclub meeting in my HS life. Not bad, intresting stuff there. Might join. I was there for an hour and a half, but it wasn't so bad because I had company. Congrats on the new person that won what ever possition that might be. Intresting how it ended up.

On the train home Jana got my phone and started to page who she thought was Neghat (I thought so too, but I found out later that it was Neghat), sorry for Jana's grabing problem.

Got home, and thats basicly my day, not that any of you care, but hey, I might as well get into this..
