Why I hate the holiday season, and why the Wii pisses me off.

December 8, 2007 9:46 pm

First off, I’d like to say that I don’t hate Holidays, just the season, and I’ll explain why in a few moments. But first, I want to gripe about the Wii.

Does anyone else have to wait for fucking ever to download shit from the shopping channel? Even the free crap? It even takes a hell of long freaking time just to open the damn store. I’m really hoping It’s not just me thats having this problem.

Now, onto the main rant. Aside from the ever looming rant about the whole commercialism of the Season, as well as people who have a problem with the word “christmas” or those who are afraid of offending others who might not celebrate the same holiday as them, this season just makes people fucking crazy.

First off, Christmas exists. Deal with it. While the basis for the holiday may or may not be a part of your beliefs (as in, the birth of Christ) you may still celebrate the holiday anyway. Those who don’t, well, thats fine. I’m not gonna stop doing what I do just becouse you don’t celebrate it. The majority of the people I know (almost 99%) DO celebrate it, so I’m gonna say Merry Fucking Christmas all I want. Those that I know who don’t celebrate it, well, I just don’t say it (or they are cool and accept it). Anybody who tells me to say “happy holidays” rather than “Merry Christmas” can kiss my ass.  If someone want’s to say “Happy Hannakuh” or whatever other holiday is going on in their lives to me, fine. They’re just wishing the best for their holiday and it doesn’t bother me at all.

Now, onto commercialism. Making yourself go broke just so your kids can get every single toy they want or else they’ll cry for two days is just fucking insane. I realize that what kids get is almost a status symbol anymore, but isn’t learning that you won’t always get everything you want a more important lesson? Maybe thats just my twisted point of view.

And my final bitch about this season, which coincides with the previous problem: Drivers. Now, we all should know by now how I feel about Oregon Drivers. Now imagine those same horrible drivers, jampacking the streets and parking lots, EVERYWHERE. People lose their fucking minds. They go absolutely batshit crazy insane. Even stop signs become extremely difficult.

This is why I enjoyed living in a small freakin’ town. No major roads, no endless traffic, no rejects who just “have to” be first in line for what-the-fuck-ever.
