Now that Thanksgiving is almost in the books the "holiday" season begins. It all gets kicked off on the retailers 4th of July otherwise known as "Black Friday". Ever since I was a youngin' I have always hated this time of year. The end of November into the 3rd week of December have always been the most brutal time of the year for me. I have no "holiday spirit" because I believe that as a society we have lost our way when it comes to knowing the meaning of this time of year. On top of that I never had a good experience growing up at this time of year so as the years have gone on my feeling of despise for this time of year continues to grow. All those that think that this time of year is about what the most expensive gift you get or give, or the flashiest piece of technology you can get your grimy hands on distinguishes you at this time of year, people are seriously mistaken. People can call me a grinch or say I have coal in my stocking but I know that my belief in society lowers to the lowest depths at this time of year.
Even for Thanksgiving people come up with reasons what they are "thankful" for and the majority of them are pointless and idiotic. The only thing people should be thankful for and not only on Thanksgiving but every other day of the year is the following:
1) We live in a country where you can do what you damn well please
2) We are defended by the bravest and most honorable men and women in uniform anywhere in the world
3) Because of the blanket of freedom provided by our men and women in uniform you can speak your mind without major persecution.
4) If you're healthy enough to not have to worry about waking up everyday you're lucky.
There are many other things that everyone should be thankful for but I don't feel like listing them. By no means am I a religious person either. I just feel that that the "holiday" season is about more important things and not necessarily driven by religion either. This time of year is just about trying to be the best person you can be and you're not measured by the gifts you receive or get. If you're one of those clowns who get in line to get a few dollars off on "Black Friday" may you be trampled as you and your fellow idiots stampede into the store like a bunch of cattle.
BAH FREAKING HUMBUG MOTHA F#&KAS!!!!
