Merry Christmas! I said Christmas fool!

Today my family is celebrating Christmas. My sister came in last night, and the other relatives will be here later. I'm excited and looking forward to gathering together, getting some stuff, but not having to watch the friggen Christmas Carol again. I suggested The Road Warrior, but no one listens to me.

I went to Sea View earlier today. They had some people in from the church doing a chorus. The residents seemed to enjoy it a lot. I've never seen some of them so happy and involved. It was nice to see them like that. Well I wish you all a merry Christmas. It's a shame we all can't be together, but you're all here with me spirit and stuff. You too Laura Beth.

This video is how you know you're gay. Though I would totally get with CL.

Says Malatesta, "What a great ass!"

I'll be home cleaning and doing some small projects in anticipation of my sister's arrival. She should be in some time tomorrow around 10 pm or as my mother put it "Around 10 or something." Not much to say beyond that. It's been a slow news day. I've been listening to a lot of opera lately. I suppose that makes me superior to you regular old humans, but I also know nothing about opera, but despite that I am still superior. Picked up a copy of Don Pasquale for a buck-fity.

On the other hand if you're looking for a little entertainment you should subscribe to Ice-T's twitter. He knocks it out of the park with his hysterical commentary and thoughts. Just now he's twitted about how he wants to commit a drive by on Bill O'Rielly, and that O'Rielly is the reason we have gangs. All because he commented on an episode of Law and Order where the show suggested that the reason we have murders and racism in this country is because of Republicans and corporations. It's a conspiracy.

Beyond that I slept well. Slept clean till a quarter to 6 and then watched a Sherlock Holmes. All those British people doing in the past like British stuff. Well the new episode of Community is on Hulu so I'm gonna rustle up some food and watch it. I hope all your weekends are pleasant and stuff.

Mother nature gets naughty

Not much to say. Had a lazy afternoon. Went out to some thrift stores. Then I went down to Miami and ate lunch near the beach. I was sitting on a bench - this is around 5 pm- listening to the latest Bombcast when I hear this guy calling something out. I take out my headphones and the guy says "Hey dude don't freak out, but that raccoon just touched your butt."

I look to my right and sure enough there is a raccoon right under me, and he's touched my butt not once but twice. Yep that happened. A raccoon totally touched my butt and there's a witness. How was your day?

I will say that once in a while I stumble across something that completely baffles me. Why does this thing exist? Who thought it would be a good idea? Why is there even a market for it? I have no answers. I just stare blankly trying not to lose my mind. There's only one word that can explain this: Europe. NSFW!

Lamento

I've been falling asleep around midnight and then waking up every night about 3 or 4 in the morning where I remain awake till around 9 am or so. I don't know what causes such peculiar sleeping patterns. Maybe it's a boyish excitement for Christmas or a feeling of impending doom. Maybe my body simply craves more Sherlock Holmes (I've been devouring the Jeremy Brett BBC productions over the last few days). I don't know what it is, but I do know I ain't sleeping.

I've decided to get out as often as possible, and spent the day in the Miami Design District hitting thrift stores to look for more presents for my friend, and also took pictures of graffiti. I decided to roll the better stuff into this handy Youtube video. The Youtube hasn't quite rendered it the way I wanted, but maybe someday I'll figure that out. Till then any one who hasn't subscribed to my channel better. I know there's at least one or two of you.

*Edit* Apparently you can click the "HD" button on the underside of the video if you pull it up from Youtube. Go to my channel and then right click and open the video in a separate window or go here.

It runs a bit more choppy in High Definition mode depending on your connection, but you get to see the pictures in their full quality. If it runs too slow then just watch then in normal mode. Either way subscribe to my channel here.

Here's the description:

Some photos that I took of different graffiti murals in the Miami Design District. The music is a little over the top, but I'm hardly a subtle person. Some of the art might be considered NSFW though there is nothing graphic. Please enjoy.

All I Want For Christmas

A person or two has asked me what I want for Christmas, and after some careful thought I still have barely any idea so here's a top ten list that I'm pretty much just cooking up on the spot. It'll run from the stuff I want the most on down to the stuff I want the least. I know I was supposed to Myspace this but then I would have to log onto Myspace.


1
Torchlight - available now on Steam. Number one draft pick!


2

A compendium of Sherlock Holmes stories. The Arthur Conan Doyle stuff obviously. I don't really care what version or volume or publishing company. Anything works for me as long as it's a bunch of Sherlock Holmes all at once.

3

(no picture because I am feeling lazy)

Silent Hill Shattered Memories for Playstation 2! I guess the release date for this got pushed back to late January but now I"m feeling too lazy to take it off the list.

4

Compact Bible Dictionary. The one in the picture. This way I can cut down my getting up and looking stuff up on the computer time by 60 percent.

5



A couple of wicked cool nerf guns so that we could wander around the apartment area and hunt each other down commando style.

6

Ultrman Complete Series. Used to have this but the mold took it from me.

7

Actual Deerstalker Cap. Just like Sherlock Holmes. Remember my head is huge.

8

That which is seen and which is not seen by Fredrick Bastiat

9

Democracy In America by Alexis de Tocqueville

10

Shen Megami Tensei: Persona 4 or Mercenaries (The first one) or Just Cause on Playstion 2!!!!

Ok so this is not exactly in any order. Consider the top two the actual top two, but the games and books are what I like the most. Anything containing alcohol is good too.

Keeps me searching for a heart of gold

I went to bed much earlier than usual, about 9, and here I am wide awake at 11:30. For some reason I'm feeling particularly hostile towards commas so I'm going to stop using them for the rest of this post. If that makes this hard to read then forgive my late night irrational prejudices.

A lot of things are running through my head at the moment. Christmas is coming (early for me since I'm celebrating it on the 12th) and I'm very excited to visit Georgia. I can't think of anything more that I need right now than to get out of town for a little bit. There is something revitalizing about taking a trip away from your family and life. You feel disconnected wholly from the things that bind you to the world you inhabit daily and that's something I need so I hope it all comes together. I look forward to eating till I vomit, drinking, and being merry. There is a slim chance that I may have to take a job... well not so slim but still a bit of a long shot. We'll see.

It's been a rough year for millions and for me and my friends it has been no exception. Lately distance has begun to slowly put my mind at ease about a certain person but I'm not particularly happy about that. I don't pretend to understand that persons motives or even know what it is they're thinking but regardless I hope she is doing well and hits the jack pot for Christmas whether I speak to her again or not. I don't feel it right to fully voice my affections or sentiments here but what else can I say? Je t aime.

The next order of business is this because it is awesome. It's an actual book!



Well I wish every one a merry Christmas. Even if you don't celebrate Christmas I wish you a merry Christmas, and you can take that to hell with you pagan sons of B's. That does it for my extra long belated 100th post. I wanted to put a more sentimental video so here's a song I produced for my father. That's him playing and signing and the video is directed by him.

And now for something completely different

Delaying my post about laughs and laughing I am announcing that me and the venerable Mr. Carroll are taking a trip to Georgia on Christmas and staying for a week. So here's a list of the top things I want accomplish while we're there.

1) Eat meat. Lots of meat. All kinds of meat. Meat!

2) To get into a brawl with a bunch of rednecks and black people at the same time so that as they work together to defeat me they realize they're not so different after all, and thus I defeat racism forever!

3) Invent some new kind of racism to replace old racism. Possibly something involving lanterns, and public nudity.

4) To get a signed copy of "Unsweetened" by Jodie Sweetin. She played Stephanie Tanner in Full House. Apparently at age 14 she passed out drunk in the bathroom at Candice Cameron's wedding. Why do I want to read this? Hell, I doubt she even lives in Georgia, but why set realistic goals?

5) Take tons of pictures

6) Audition for a television show.

7) Finally get a "I Love Goergia" t-shirt. Last time I was there I could only find "I Love Florida" t-shirts which says something about the place.

8) Find out what all this Lady Gaga stuff is about. As far as I can tell she makes boring pop music (I mean boring even by the standard of regular pop music), and just dresses weird. Is that all it takes these days?

Now this rocks.
