...for these blasted holidays to just be over already?

Ugh.

This is truly the first time I can say I lost that so-called Christmas spirit. This year has beat me up so much my ability to enjoy myself has almost been lost. I managed to go to a xmas party in NJ and had a good time, but that was simply due to being around good friends, not anything holiday-specific. My fleeting desire to travel during my windfall vacation evaporated in short order as the weather and the nonsense of this time of year set in. I would have been more useful at work. I have been making use of my time off by doing some things around the house that I didnt have the money for during my disability though, so there is a bright spot there.

Am I destined to be a crotchety old man, hateful of all around me, jealous of those enjoying themselves? If so, please kill me now.

In a related vein, I am beoming increasingly intolerant of people's stupidity, ignorance and thoughtlessness. If the preceeding is encountered on the road, there is potential accounts payable to hell. My mother got run off the road the other day, ripping the mirrors off her car and sending orange and white barriers flying. Had I been anywhere near that situation I seriously believe I would have caused severe harm to the person who did it. If not worse.

I often feel like an antipersonnel mine with a hair trigger. I guess I need a chill pill the size of Montana soon.

I'm sorry to hear about your mom..I got ran off onto the shoulder twice yesterday while I was holiday hell shopping. People that do that shit makes me wish I had a flamethrower and rocket launcher on my car. What ever you are feeling (about this season).. don't retreat into being a hermit over it. Good friends help which was good you had that get together with your friends.. I hook up with my sister and we toss back margaritas all night to get through it. This time of the year seems to bring the worst kind of stupidity out of people. It's actually amazing to watch, especially since this a season of giving.. the irony is alot of selfishness is going on. Keep your head up and look forward to Jan 2.
