Christmas rant
Long time ago, circa 2009, I promised my good friend Mark that I will sit down and write a Christmas rant. In 2009 I was in the military, and in 2010, I was not quite up to date with blogging. Time has come for me to rectify my erroneus ways, and write what was once promised. If anything it can't be said that I don't keep my promises :P.
I am like the Dothraki... I do things in my own time :) ( read Game of Thrones... )
I know it's still November, or at least it was as of the writing of these lines, but Christmas starts in November right? I mean take a stroll down your local mall. Tis the season... to sell. Those who know me well, know of my dislike of this particular season due to it's commercialism.
Seriously, it's still freaking November... We are still A MONTH AWAY from Christmas. I can't stand the songs and the so called, "gotta be nice" attitude, that has been force fed down our throats since we were children. 'Oh look! If i am naughty, I will not get that prezzie I asked for' BULLSHIT... did anyone never get what they asked for in Christmas, provided that your parents could afford it? NO! EAT IT SANTA!
Which brings me to another point. Has Santa not eaten enough? I mean you trust someone, who is overweight, to come down your chimney, and you feed him as well. Cookies, milk and various other treats. You are essentially enabling an old man, who is commiting burglary by the way, to diabetes. Might as well throw some rat poison in with that chocolate chip cookie. You bastards!
So much sleazyness in the atmosphere. Pretentuous attitudes, on how "oh hey! lets do a charity... maybe then we can sleep a little better at night." What grinds my gears is that this happens only around this time a year. The rest of the year, the world can go find a dildo and do with it what it is women (and some men) do with it. You want to be nice? How about being nice the whole freaking year? Reminds me how Cartman is trying to be nice to everyone he has ever done something mean to... AND YOU ARE NOT CARTMAN!
And where do people get off with the music? "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire"? It makes me want to hurt someone... Badly... And the so sung "Last christmas i gave you my heart..."? In this song, we have a chick complaining that she slept with someone for a night, and then the dude never called her. Face the facts, you are a whore. Get over it. WHORE!
What about the other christmas threat-disguised-cheerful anthem? "You better watch out, you better be good, Santa Claus is coming to town" Let him come bitch! I know I'll be ready for him. And the fucker better not touch my cookies ...or coke. What's this you say? He has Germanic roots? HAHAHAHA Bastard is good as ded. D-E-D. DED.
Let's make away with the dark comedy for second. Christmas as a holiday is fine with me. It really is! What makes it really annoying is the commercialism it has underwent. All neatly hidden under a veil of piety. To me that is infuriating. The presents, the romance of it, is nice and welcome(part from the music, which I also find infuriating). What finds me protesting, is what is expected off someone this time of year. I have a tendency to go against the current, and instead of being nice during Christmas, I actually want to be mean. Not because it is my nature, but because, I don't want to put up with others telling me what to do.
SO MUCH ANGUAR!!!
P.S.
Why would something like this be considered a Christmas anthem?
and not something like this...
.. I really don't see any valid reason for not having Enslaved sing heavenless on Christmas ;)
P.S.2
Merry Christmas everyone ...or should I say Happy Holidays?
Either way, make love to someone special. If you don't have one, tell someone that you love them. If again you are not in love, tell your family/friends that you love them. Enjoy your holidays with people that are close to you and those that you want to be close to. Don't forget... you don't have to wait till the holidays to do that... Be expressive all year long.... That's what it's really all about.
