Yeah, the LOT of you -- especially YOU, mainstream media! God damn, no wonder I never pay any attention to the news or the world at large. You're all too busy blowing each other's shit up and then getting paid to tell each other about it!

It's the Christmas season. NO, YOU HAVE IT WRONG. It is the CHRISTMAS season. Balls to your HOLIDAY noise. This is the season where you're supposed to let go of all that negative crap you spend the other 11 months of the year drowning yourself in, like it gets you anywhere, and just let yourself be happy. You know, that's that thing where you don't hate anything and you, like, smile and stuff. I know, I don't do it much anymore either, but I sure as hell try to, especially this time of year! When I have my mind made up to let things go and be content with life, I will not be deterred! If I can do that, what's YOUR excuse?!

Right now is not such a moment, as my language probably gives away -- here I am getting all worked up about everybody else getting worked up! Everybody freaking relax and try to soak in what the Christmas season really means, okay?! JEEZ. Even I am having a hard time getting back into the spirit this year... Rain probably isn't helping. Anyway, yeah. All of you, lighten up. DAMMIT. Don't make me take the tarp off the Magic Zeor Happy Cannon. It ain't pretty.

So, as long as I'm bitching incessantly in my DA Journal again, might as well talk about myself. Umm... Sable's huge, still need to put up more pictures of her. Oh yeah, of course there's Max, my XPS M1530 laptop, which I love most heartily for its ability to run things like Albatross18 and Audiosurf at absolutely perfect levels, and my new ability to get on the interwebs from places like the living room and bed. Got it freakin' cheap, too. My workplace actually did something appearing genuinely benevolent and set up a computer financing program, through which I got this laptop for something like $730, which I'll be contentedly paying on a hands-free, per-paycheck basis for the next few months. My desktop machine was recently rescued from a small ARMY of malware which I somehow picked up while trying to access something on megaupload (I still trust the site, I haven't a clue what the shit happened there), spearheaded by the dreaded Vundo, so I'm pretty lucky to have it back in clean, working order instead of having to reformat it or whatever. The halls around here are decked as hell, lemme tell you what. And I had a lot of fun at the company Christmas party last week.

See? Good things! It's easy! Let go of the bad! Take a good look around you and appreciate instead of lambasting! Hug someone, or something. You know.

Huh. Well, I guess I'll wrap this up, content in having mastered the raging outburst of happiness.
