it's the same thing every year, i know ...

but really, it should be the same thing every day. the last few years i've always put up a post about "a charlie brown christmas". you would be bored with it by now i'm sure (if you didn't love it so much! ) so as i was about to post this, i was thinking ... really we should spend all year in the Christmas spirit, don't you think? thinking of giving before receiving, spending time with loved ones like family and friends, and most of all being thankful for every blessing you have and for the chance to live life through good fortune and bad ... if that's not Christmas to you, then you can skip this post i suppose. of course, if you want something more titillating ... you're on the internet. it's not hard to find!

well i know my posts in the last year have become much less verbose and interesting to read. the poems have fallen off ... they tend to form in short verses in my head in those moments before sleep sets in. the wild parties at gun dealers' lofts and bowling in robes at the port authority happens much less frequently in my life nowadays. but i do still bump around with my headphones here and there, and i suppose i could report more often about the celebrities i skate past or dine with. i'm a bit surprised myself that i didn't comment on the democratic sweep in the mid-term election (ho-hum ... we'll see if they can actually do something with this opportunity) or neil cavuto on fox news declaring that teaching kids about environmental responsibility is an insidious part of the liberal agenda.

no, i'd much rather go back to what tickles me today. no, not this (if neil cavuto thinks happy feet is bad ... what's he think about that??) ... but

(full length no-less ... woo-hoo!)
