The Feats of Strength
I just watched the Festivus episode of Seinfeld...I wish we could all incorporate some of those "traditions" into the typical holiday season. I wouldn't mind the aluminum pole instead of a Christmas tree, because I'm allergic to pine trees and the fake trees just don't do it for me. The "Airing of Grievances" is a year-long thing, so no need to make that a centerpiece of the season. However, I would very much like to incorporate the "Feats of Strength", where the head of the household has to be wrestled to the floor and pinned by a designated family member before the holiday ends. The old man stopped giving his sons easy victories a long time ago, but I think I could take him...
Spent the last few days stuffing myself with a wide array of food and getting together with family, especially with my mom's side of the family, whom we don't see nearly as much as we should. It's cool to see how much my cousins have grown and the different paths they're taking in life. We're an eclectic bunch (eclectic is the word of the day).
Christmas was fun and a good time to reflect on the past year and on the meaning of the season. I got an automatic car starter (something I've always meant to buy for myself but never have), 2 grooming kits (hidden message here??), a lot of Roughrider merch (hoodie, mug, clock, mouse..yes, mouse), more books to add to the pile of books I haven't finished from last Christmas, and a few bags of beef jerky and gum. I also have a grill and an automatic pepper mill that is designated purely for the day I move out...next year perhaps...
It's December 28...and I just realized I'm back to school in a week...and I just realized I should probably work on my thesis...and I just realized I need to have a progress report ready for it in 2 weeks...I'm gonna go work on that.
Just in case I'm not back on here before 2006, I wish you all a Happy New Year and safe travels. Hope to see many of y'all soon.
P.S. I am in need of new CD's, because I'm getting bored of the ones I currently have and don't see many new releases that intrigue me at all...and I have a CDPlus coupon that I need to use by the end of the week! Any suggestions?
