It's always an interesting time when the holidays come around. Typically they can either be really good or a disaster, there is rarely an in between. My family has never really practiced traditional holiday rituals but we always get together and spend time. Usually, there's just a few gifts and that we all have dinner together and either argue about politics or marvel at the baby. It's tough for me during the holidays because there are things that I can't do that most of my friends are involved. I can't travel and I can go to New York City to see Rockefeller Center. Sometimes it gets on my nerves but for the most part I just don't care.
While hanging out with family is great, and I mean that, it's always nice to have someone with a little bit more in common to talk to. This becomes a problem not only during the holidays but just about all the time. In fact, there are very few people that have much in common with me. Yet, most people think that they know what I am thinking or how I feel, when in reality it's the furthest from the truth.
In my opinion, I don't think that I complain very much, probably because if I did I'd be the most bitter person you've ever met. There are plenty of things I can think of to complain about but there's just no reason, it's a waste of energy and solves nothing. However, the one thing that pisses me off the most is when someone thinks they understand.
If you are one of those people, I guarantee that you don't understand. You don't know what it's like, you don't know how it feels, you can't read my mind, and there will always be that way. Unless you're in the unique position of being in a wheelchair as a quadriplegic, you have no clue. Granted, everyone has problems and they can be equally as draining, but you don't expect people to know how to solve those problems so how can they solve mine. Therefore, I beg you, don't patronize me and don't pretend that you know how I feel.
I also hate snow! I mean seriously, who the hell came up with that? Who decided that white slippery crap should be dumped from the sky onto us? What an obnoxious, presumptuous, and asinine prank to pull on humans. Every time it snows I bet God watches all the slips and falls to make his own "world's funniest home videos" hosted by Bob Saget. Maybe snow would be cool if it happened during the summer so that it was related to warm weather instead of this cold crap. If you are dreaming of a white Christmas, I'm dreaming of a white August. Until that day comes, I blame snow for everything that goes wrong in the world. I hereby announce that the Snow Hating Association has been formed. We offer medical insurance and issue really cool jackets with your name embroidered on the front.
Finally, my New Year's resolution is to not make a New Year's resolution. It's a stupid idea so I am not going to do it. However, in doing more of a monthly plan, I feel the results are better. I also don't know why everybody's resolution has to be something good. Why can't your New Year's resolution be to hate babies or support gun violence? Regardless, it is a new year and it's a new chance to learn from last year so that we're all not as stupid as we were.
In conclusion, I won't complain you can't make me. Snow can go to hell. New Year's resolutions are stupid. I promise to blog more often so that none of you worry and I promise the blogs will be interesting, at least to me. Happy new year and good luck.
P.S. If you plan on joining the Snow Hating Association, please contact me about meeting locations and jacket sizes.
