Decore De Chritmas

My favorite Christmas decoration is actually a tie. This old Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer we have. My Grandpa made it himself. It's a four-piece figure made of wood and i remember as a kid the funnest thing of decorating was putting it together. The legs to the body and the antlers to his head. I love everything about it, the paint thats wearing on its nose and eyes, the jungle bell fastened about his neck. Even the smell makes me smile. It's one of the only things my brother and I have to remember him.
The other is a miniature talking Christmas tree named Douglas my folks got for me and my brother to put in our shared room at our old house. It was like a house warming gift since it was the first Christmas at our (then) new home. It was a riot. It had eyes that lit up, eye lips that moved, and a mouth that reacted to his speech. He came with four songs and about 5 sayings. It was really state of the art at the time i remembered because it was motion censored so that when you passed he'd belt "Deck the Halls" or a corny line like, "You know, I shook limbs with Blitzen" and he'd wink. It was great. But yeah, those are my most favorite Christmas decorations ever.

Cherrished

The greatest present that i can remember ever was actually recently. It was last year. I had been receiving hand-me-down phones ever since my family discarded our home phone and all had cell phones. My brother on the other hand some how convinced mom and dad that he should be awarded my upgrades to get himself the greatest phones of the time. I was tired of it, so i asked for the iPhone. And i got it. Granted it was my only present other than the traditional undies and raisenettes. I was so happy when i got it. i still have it as a matter of fact. I use it more than any other gift i've ever gotten and still thank my folks that they actually got it for me.

Lights...Ground Features...Winter

Christmas time= Christmas lights. Everyone loves the way they look and shimmer. They illuminate neighborhoods and bring joy to all. One cannot deny the happiness within once you see multicolored strands glowing around plants, windows and trimmings; or the pureness of plain white bulbs shimmering about shrubberies and rooftops. However beautiful these may be, it is undoubtedly the most frustrating thing of the season. You set them up only to find out you cannot connect them, or once you finally find a way to bring power to each strand you see that a fuse is burst or a bulb is broken. Grr. nevertheless, enjoy the spectacles this year as it seems more people are participating exterior decorating.

Santa... BELIEVE!

I actually do believe in Santa, not so much him being a tangible, living, breathing thing more like an essence. Santa Clause is us being nicer than we usually are, more considerate of others, not necessarily knowing when one is sleeping or not, but paying attention to details of our loved ones so we know the perfect gift to bear. Santa is the spirit of giving, not some red clad man with a beer belly and scraggly white facial hair, but he exists nonetheless through us.

Thankful

I'm uber thankful for like, everything. Like im like super excited about like seeing my really really cool family because like they are really funny, there i slike never a dull moment and thanksgiving is just like super fun and i love all the food and like im super thankful for my hands because they're really soft and they let me master any and every instrument and i'm thankful that i live in like, America? becuase like it's super fun and like i get to do all kinds of things that i wouldn't be able to do if i lived in another country like, going to church? freedom of assembly? that's just to name a few. and i dunno, i'm just super happy about everything in my life and super thankful that i've tunred out the way i did because every day is just like, and adventure.

Great year

this has been a great year thus far. Thinking back i remember the moment i got my car. I my heart melted then and there as soon as i set eyes on it. My '88 Oldsmobile 98 Regency Brougham. It is nothing short of the best thing ever to grace the road of it's presence. I remember my summer job, all the money i made. Trips to Evansville to relieve my burning pocket of its scorching money. This year, as memorable as it has been with personal events and milestones, it has also been one of the best years of music. The new Say Anything CD has just come out, the new As Cities burn CD came out, the new Dave Matthews Band CD came out, as well as the new Dance Gavin Dance, He is legend, and, soon, the new Circa Survive and the new John Mayer. I've also grown my musical interests. Maybe not so much the interest as artists. I listen to Andrew Bird, Damien Rice, Fleet Foxes, and Foxy Shazam. I've also listened more to bands long forgotten to me such as John Mayer, Kanye West, Saosin, Paulo Nuttini, and Amos Lee.

I must say, this is a beautiful year of music and inspiration.
P.S.- DO NOT ILLEGAL DOWNLOAD THE MUSIC UNLESS YOU ARE FINANCIALLY INCAPABLE. I was watching an interview of Max Bemis from Say Anything and Anthony Green of Circa Survive and they said they don't really mind ppl pirating music, not just because "everyone does it" but because they don't mind just as long as the music is getting out there. But still, we should support them as best we can.
that is all.

rock band

It's a Friday night. It's rainy. You have no money to go out. What is there left? You think, nothing. There is nothing for me, i can mark this as a tragedy. You mope and pout around all night until, 'bringgeliiing!' You get a text from your bff! It's an invite to go play the most magnificent, addictive, and quite possibly the most socially accepted game in the world. it is the Rock Band. This is the game in which the most awkward, nerdy kid can be accepted as a god. You become true members of a fictional band and play yourself some gigs and get "fans". This game, i've found, is the best thing to happen to families. It brings them all together, levels the playing field and allows at least on thing in common. Thank you Rock Band. For saving my family.
