Time to clear the cobwebs
Time to bear the crime
Had a debate yesterday with a friend about the importance of Thanksgiving and why he thought its a stupid holiday. I simply directed him here: http://www.somethingawful.com/d/news/thanksgiving-rules.php
The guy that wrote this article is my current hero.
Went to work today and oh man was it somethin’ else. Everyone was in a good mood (likely an after-effect of Thanksgiving meals). You know what, thank God for America. We might be stupid 9/10ths of the time, but we have the best food ideas ever. Whoever started the tradition of having Thanksgiving be mostly about the food was awesome and deserves a high five of some sort. Perhaps a “down-low” version is in order?
Getting the final bits in order for my New Year’s event(s). Seeming more and more likely that I’ll either spend it hanging with Aaron or with Rachel. Not 100% on this, yet. Rachel is closer but Aaron will be more fun. Hmm… When isn’t Aaron more fun, however? However, Rachel could maybe use some outside-friends to cheer her up. She’s going through a rough patch the likes of which I’ve not seen (primarily because I haven’t seen her in almost a year, so…) and could stand to have some company that isn’t in any way directly related to her current plight. And I’m awesome, so, y’know, I’ll help just like that!
In regards to a certain someone regarding my livejournal page as “pathetic” (and since there’s no way you won’t read this, anyhow), I feel as though I should specify two things about this here “journal”:
1) Never in my life have I produced an online journal for the benefit of anyone but me. Nine times out of ten the posts don’t have information anyone will find of interest anyhow. Its usually dull, inane drivel that I find entertaining years down the road. People that write online journals for attention are sad. And yes, while it is true that I did create the site, here, for cheap entertainment purposes, even those reasons aren’t “pathetic” simply because of their satirical manner and the original post mocking your inability to write poetry. I hate to admit this (I really do, primarily because I can’t believe – given recent circumstances – I’m going to agree with her on anything) but Carol was right about your writing. If people don’t have a way into your work, your work blows chunks, kid. And that shallow attempt at spite, pg21? Yeeeeeeesh. Haven’t met one person that hasn’t laughed at that, yet. THAT, my friend, was pathetic.
2) The pathetic part about it, though, is that you continue to read it. Even if it is aimed at you, you keep coming back. “I’m curious about what people put online” is bogus. I’d been writing on Xanga and my school blog the entire year we were together and you showed no interest. You’ll have some lame excuse for that, now, I’m sure (only because now you have time to think about it before you say it), but if you were really curious, you probably should have showcased that a bit more. Quit reading it, y’know? That way you look like you’re actually “moving on” and not simply a pathetic shell of your former self. Then you can get the high ground. I don’t want it (obviously) so quit giving it to me.
Tomorrow we’re playing Monopoly-Risk and, once again, the Great Yakutsk Empire will be victorious! Since it takes nearly 10 hours to finish a game, we went ahead and set up tonight and, lo and behold, the yellow army holds Yakutsk. I actually won last year, which was nice, since I was one of the game’s co-amalgamators. Pete and I really should market this bastard to the company that made both games. We built a tight ship and a fun, competitive game. Turns out, my brother and I work fairly well together. Whodathunkit?
Lastly, the fam and I were watching Fiddler on the Roof and I’d never really seen it. Pete was trying to entice me with its content as follows:
Pete: It’s got Jewish Russians!
Me: Well why wouldn’t I watch it?
Pete: I don’t know, but its like combining your ex-girlfriends into one movie!
Me: Not unless there’s a bisexual Jewish Russian.
This was funny for obvious reasons.

I have apologized or come clean about a great number of these posts and their target but I must say the following:
The fact that “The Russian” called this blog pathetic and my reasoning behind why it wasn’t is completely accurate. I stand by it entirely. Especially looking back at the final product. This blog served its immense purpose, which shifted through the time it was actively updated. That line about continuing to not want the high ground is also so on the nose and damned self-aware that I can’t believe Young Skyler wrote it without any sarcasm. It was just true.
Anyhow, seeing that we had to set up the game the night before reminds me that we probably need to do that this coming April when Aubrey and I go to visit the family in TN and play the game. It saved a bunch of time.
