Some today are sleeping outside. Some today don't have a job. Some today are dying of terrible disease. Some are ten thousand miles from their families patrolling the streets of Baghdad wearing 80 pounds of gear. Some today are morning the deaths of their soldiers overseas. Some tonight are celebrating the birth of the most glorious man of infinite wisdom. It is all a matter of perspective ... cheer up and look at how much you have and remember the reason for the season please.

Wife is sick and did not attend the Christmas get together. And she is just being a real bitch on top of that for a week now. One of the kids got duplicate gifts so my sister had to take the present back today and exchange. My dumb sister let my oldest boy buy a 17+ video game. I have to take it back. My sister let my step-daughter exchange her game for a Mature one. When I said something about it, I got "You not real my daddy" deal. Pissed me off. because her real daddy has not come to see her in 3 months. And after I spent 3 hours this morning putting all of her Christmas stuff together. My oldest son called after I dropped him off at his moms house because HE left his mothers Christmas present at my parents house. He wanted me to do a 70 mile round trip to go back and get it. Even though my parents are going over to his mothers house in the a.m. to see what they got for Christmas and can bring it. So now I'm about to sit back and get drunk. I have rented three movies, Collateral, Man on Fire and Bourne Supremecy. Merry Christmas, everbody!

Hey its always fun if I'm breathing and have only the required amount of holes and metal in me that are in me right now. |
i didn't say it couldn't be topped, in fact i invited it to be am i in a particularly bad mood? no did i enjoy my day much though? no i check my email every day to see if SSG. Gibson has written so i'll know he's still around. im still sending out care packages to the troops so they can be as comforatable as possible while they're stuck in that shithole i know all too well about disease, most recently and closely malignant tumors and multiple sclerosis BUT, ive got no sympathy for 99.9% of people sleeping outside nor those without a job if they're using that excuse as a crutch for something so enough of the guilt trip, thanks so much

perhaps, juuuuuuuuuuuuust perhaps its because: 1. im not used to cold weather 2. i was out in it all day in a filling station that i fucking swear must have been designed by NASA to direct wind into it 3. because only two reasons didn't seem enough

Well, Fuck. I'm at home, with my wife and child by a fire with a nice glass of bourbon, and opening presents after having been off all week. I have a job, even though I hate it, and a roof over my head, and can put food in my baby's tummy so I don't have to hear her cry. Screw it, Life's good, and Merry Christmas to all! SG |
Hell, I even heard a rumor that your genuine New York City BIRTH CERTIFICATE is floating around, just waiting to get scanned into the great ARFCOM for all to see! That's the rumor anyway...

Let's just say I could care less if they did away with Christmas. I hate trying to figure out what to buy people and end up going overboard. I hate the crowds, traffic and people bitching when I tell them I'll be spending Christmas with someone else...which is why the girlfriend and I split this past week. I spent Thanksgiving with her family and she wanted me to spend tonight with her at her parents house and then tomorrow night with her at her aunt and uncle's house. Of course I understand that she has a son in the Navy and a grandchild, but damn, when I can't get her to commit to spending Christmas with my family next year and her response is, "Where ever my son and grandson are at on Thanksgiving and Christmas, then that's where I'll be," then I gotta say the hell with it. And to ad to all this, try dealing with people calling you a week before Christmas up to Christmas Eve bitching you out for not being able to get around to sweeping there chimney before Christmas Day. Bah F-ing Humbah!!! |
Got that right, Paul... - georgestrings |
| I decided to buy a new hard-to-find upper. Drove up the post office to get a money order and mail it. The post office closed at 2:00 for Christmas. It was 2:20. ARRRGH. I guess things could be worse. Somebody could have gotten onto my arfcom account and posted that I'm gay.... |
allow me to translate this into propane-speak: ::setting: christmas eve 4:59 p.m.:: me: stix gas, can i help you them: im out of gas, my little babies might freeze me: what's your account name them: we don't have an account there me: i see. where do you usually get gas from them: that other guy me: and you're not getting your gas from him today because......... them: we called and called but he doesn't answer his phone me: let me take a whack at this one..........you buy from him because he's cheaper them: ya me: reckon maybe so we charge a premium to actually deliver to people when they need gas as opposed to when we feel like selling some? them: ::silence:: me: call that other guy, merry christmas dumb fuckers........... |

Ummmm, it's 0030, still have 7more hours before I get to go home. Already been here 6.5hr. Had to tell the kid to go to bed because NORADSANTA.ORG said santa was in New York. Got no Beer and am really sleepy. All this means is that I have a job, my kid loves me, wife loves me. only 7hr before I get to spend Chirsmas with my family. I can afford to buy presents, house, healthcare, beer and of course many ar15's. God bless us, everyone. |

You think your're having a bad day? As for myself, I finaly get to spend Christmas with my kids for the first time in two years. Its been a long, hard custody fight, and I had to actually see my moronic ex in person to do the exchange, but my children are worth any amount of hell that I have to go through. Worst part is that I have to give them back tomorrow on Christmas day at 4:00pm. I get to spend just 28 hours with them. And I have no beer. Chris |
I've always been amazed that people never seem to learn!

One would think you are used to it by now ...............................

I lost my keys. The one to my wife's van is over $100 to replace becasue it has a programable chip that has to be inserted. My work keys were also on ther and now I have to change the locks. My mom called and tells me that my father has to have his leg amputated because of his post polio syndrome and diabetes. I will miss new years with my family and fly to St. Louis to be with dad. My knees are killing me as I wait for the doctor to tell me what he wants to do next. With this in mind I am happy and joyous today. It is Christmas, I am alive and because today exists I have the hope of a better life eternally with my Father in heaven. If this day never came the world would be a sadder place. You can blame wars and all kinds of hatred on religion but there are untod good acts done every day because of it. Homeless are fed, sick cared for, prisoners visited, poor helped, hopeless assisted and the joy of life given to saps like me. I hope you find joy and happiness today, Merry Christmas can still be found in your heart if you will only look deep and find it. Merry Christmas all! |
