this is another I hate chrismast post....

So, I went out today, with the idea of maybe buying a book or something. I needed to get out. Out I went into the world, What is interesting is that, I never see anything I want... for some reason that impulse to buy, doesn't go off in me anymore. I could use some gloves, but.... I looked through the books, and remembered the last couple books I purchased, and realize how shitty they were, either self flagellation by the author, or just a rehash of old info covered elsewhere. I saw 5 different books that have been Flaunted out by T.V. for the past week, and I just remembered, that next year, most these books will be forgotten. DVD's of movies I didn't want to see in the first place.

And all these big box stores, so much distance from one to another, so much waist full driving, both in gas and in my time. It reminds me of the mall.

I was thinking about how much I'd like an Xbox360 or PlayStation or whatever.... Then I remembered that my original Xbox lasted 3 months before it broke, and they are having massive problems with them...

Consumerism... it just doesn't seem like it's worth it.

I keep thinking.. maybe I should make Little wood dogs or dump trucks, just out of blocks of wood and sell them, good durable toys. No more Consumer nonsense......

Even worse, the idea that if you hate this Stupid Selfish consumer driven, commercial holiday.... suddenly your a green asshole named "The Grinch".... I'm surprised that the consumer industry doesn't pay for that to be shown every week from November through December, sans commercials.

What I should do is ebay the shit I get for xmas off.... Think I could do it before I even get the crap?

How would the Ebay add go?

Buy My X-mas.... Dear Ebayer,

I usually receive 2 dvd's, one featuring a former SNL star (usually from the 70's 80's or early 90's) and another from the $5 bin with some has bin action star, ie... Mel Gibson or chuck Norris. Then Likely a calender($5), and a tool of some kind($5 range)....
I have informed all of my friends and kin that I am not doing xmas, but I did do this last year and still received my typical xmas(as you can see I don't exactly put people out much).
BUT... I think they all thought I was kidding last year, and managed to make me feel even worse by still giving me the same shit.

You may ask, on a personal note why I don't repackage and give the same gifts back this year, as I received last year, I could even rotate so it seemed like I actually got them something.(especially since last years remained unopened, and the year before's(I know this isn't a word) are unopened.)...
Well Maybe I'll repackage last years and the year before and ebay that too.

I Fucking Hate Christmas. only good thing about it is that Christmas means only 2 months till spring and feb has a false spring for a week or 2 .
