All About the Kids

I spent Christmas in Maryland this year. I don't get quite as excited about Christmas anymore. But then again, I hope I was never as excited...or rather annoying...and my cousin (not the one pictured here). But watching them reminds me that Christmas seems to be all about the kids. Adults don't get quite as much out of it, and usually it's more stressful. Although, I noticed that my little cousins seemed rather ungrateful of their gifts--ripping from one to the next without even looking to see what it is that was inside. Heaven forbide it be a clothing box, then they really don't care what it is. I'm kind of glad some people put good stuff inside clothing boxes for them. They didn't even bother opening those once past the paper.

On another note, the Wii can be quite a workout. I played Rayman with Chuck and Zach for a few hours and my arms were quite sore the next day...all that damn swinging my arms trying launch bunnies as far as I could off a mine cart. Insanely good fun though. And now Zach has me hooked on the idea of getting Animal Crossing for Courtney and myself. But it's one of those higher priced games. So getting two copies is a bit expensive. Ah, well...I'll see what happens.

Stress for the Holidays...

Do you have stress for the holidays? Who doesn't? There's a lot of crap that just happened and is about to happen. For college students, there were finals. For everyone else, there's massive Christmas, or Festivus (I can't believe they actually sell Festivus poles...and people buy them -_-) or whatever holiday you celebrate, present buying. Putting up with the crazies buying crap in the stores and driving around like they are the only person trying to get somewhere. It's just nuts. It's getting so bad...I mean come on...just take a look at this guy. The jolly man himself is getting fed up with the way the spirit of mankind is going. It shouldn't have to come down to this.

There's a lot of issues coming up with me lately too. So I'm beginning to feel stress. It bothers me to the point where I don't feel like doing things I want to do anymore. It's such a problem. But I made myself some good food earlier and I feel like I can have fun again. Yay for good food. But we gotta remember this poor old fat man, and not get on each other so much. Remember that we need to help each other out. And that the spirit of the holidays should not be reserved just for holidays, although it seems less prevalent during this time...especially in stores.

The Glow

At last, I got to see my Wii glow. It was cool. I woke up yesterday morning for work...and bam! It was pulsing blue. I was so excited. I thought someone sent me a message, but it was just glowing because of an update. -_- Oh well. It was still exciting to see it glow. And now I have a picture to remember it forever by. But I will probably take another one if it happens again. I changed the glow settings to "bright" now, instead of "dim." So, it will be SUPER glow-y! I'm excited...someone send me a message! >.<;;
