I love and hate this

Christmas is such a happy time, you get to see all of your family and friends and engage in the making merry, but this Christmas has brought upon a host of realizations. Do you ever stop to think that the people you are with won't be with you next Christmas? What brought this on is that my granparents' health is failing, quickly. For the past 19 years, every Christmas, my grandma has told me "I think this will be our last Christmas" and unfortunately I have this awful feeling, that this year, she's going to be right. It's not so much that they have cancer or anything, they're just withering away very slowly. Grandpa told the same story four times in as many minutes today, and you can't do anything but smile and listen. My grandma has trouble recognizing her own kids. You so easily take your family for granted only to have them taken away before you realize what happened. I just want to break down and cry. They say that new life will carry on, and I see my nephews and almost agree, then I look at my grandparents and know nothing could ever replace them. I mean, how many people saw the flag raised on Iwo Jima? In fact, how many people even remember Iwo Jima? How many Americans raise six children in a two bedroom home while the husbands fighting in the biggest war known to man kind? How many 94 year old women do you know that kneel by their bed every night and morning to say their prayers and pray rosaries to pass the endless days. Things like that can't be replaced, and probably won't be remembered. In light of all this I'm going to try and spend as much time as possible with my grandparents, I might try and record my grandfather's war stories, it might make interesting for other people as well. So please pray for me and my grandparents. It's going to be very tough in the coming months and any support from everyone will be greatly appreciated. And most of all don't take anything or anyone for granted, this might be the last Christmas you celebrate with them, forever.

Christmas is coming! And also random creative spurts.

Christmas is like 4 days away! Yay! So I went to lunch today with a friend from work, her husband, and said husbands mother. It was a very lovely time. She completely surprised me with an awesome handmade gift! It's a cool collage of AFI oriented materials complete with many Davey pics! It really made my day. In return I made her something of the same sorts, I used a photo that I took for a photography class and using various programs ghosted on lyrics to an AFI song and some other things. I'll put it up here once I get it to her. Also, I recently joined the online community for Resistance:Fall of Man, which in itself is a ridiculously addictive and epic game. Being bored after joining I decided to throw a pic together for my sig on there, I took a pic of everyones favorite demon badass Sesshomaru and put my favorite quote of his on it. I left the link to the original picture maker for obvious reasons. But here ya go:
Note: Never watch the show Sealab 2021, its more overly opinionated non-entertaining garbage.
NoteX2: WOW I AM BEHIND ON STRONGBAD EMAILS.

More! Gimme More!

At risk of sounding like a certain post-success attention and food(baby) hungry washed out pop-diva allow me to explain. I'm going to keep an Amazon wishlist along with my do want list. This is more to keep track of what I'm getting for myself. Not for Christmas. This is a more permanent desire list. Yea, so keep track, or don't it's up to you. If I suddenly remove it then I've got it. Or something to that effect. This show likes to reference private areas' body hair. How bizarre.

FINISH HIM!

There are rumblings deep in the netherrealm. Work has begun on Mortal Kombat 8. Full next gen. Some interesting aspects is everything from the previous MK's are gone. They are kompletely starting over. From what I can tell none of the old kharacters will even be in the games. Sad. But perhaps needed. The most interesting fact however is that Ed Boon (MK's kreator) is going for a "Gears of War" look and feel. Could be interesting. Also: " "Our visual presentation and our game presentation and our thing that you’ll hear about very soon are all going to be new to this game." Um, what exactly is "our thing that you'll hear about very soon" ? Kuriosity=piqued. Here's the info I found.

*Note*- If this game is'nt on PS3 someone over at midway will suffer the konsequences. Shouldn't be a problem though as the old MK's are on the PSN's store for download.

Well, after that violent outburst I'm sure I probably turned what few readers I had away. OH WELL! I am soooo excited for Christmas! We had the first snow last night, it was nice, I spent most of the evening sitting by the window and watching the snow and listening to light classical music. It was a wonderful experience, I highly recommend it to anyone. What was equally fun is watching the stupid people who don't know how to drive fishtail and spin out in the parking lot. One guy in a mini-truck, MINITRUCKS SUCK, ahem, anyway he decided to peel out of the parking lot onto the main road and subsequently entered the busy street sideways. Sheer brilliance on his part. Not. One guy in a BMW literally did a full 360 in the parking lot, I couldn't tell if he was doing it on purpose or not, I'm sure the rear-wheel drive probably made for an interesting experience. I've also found a nice little coffee shop on the square down here that has pretty good hot chocolate, yum.

Also this was on tv, its still great:

If it seems too good to be true, it is

I thought these last two weeks would be easy to pass. Ha. Something that I thought was good turned out to not turn out at all. I'm not comfortable discussing it on here so IM me if you are curious. Do you ever stop to think about why life never turns out the way you had ever hoped. I just want to live a nice comfortable life. Alone or with someone, I couldn't care less. I just think it would be nice to have the freedom to do absolutely nothing with my life and be able to still go and buy things and do the things i want. GRAH! I'm irritated. Politics are gay in any context. FUCK. I hate things. Okay. Back to my train of thought. This isn't of course to say that I wouldn't do anything, obviously I would just be happy to do whatever. I think people think that I want money to do stuff for myself, the fact is that I want it to live comfortably and be happy, and for me to be happy is to help make my friends and family happy. Sweet God in heaven I AM SURROUNDED BY FUCKING MORONS. ONCE AGAIN PEOPLE NEED TO KEEP THEIR DAMN FUCKING MALFORMED OPINIONS TO THEMSELVES. I HATE PEOPLE. STUPID PEOPLE NEED TO REDEEM THEMSELVES AND DIE.
