No it’s not. Not yet. Soon… soon…. Welcome travelers!
Let us all take a moment to honor the passing of String Bean, the mighty cricket shredding praying mantis warrior kept by my sister as a pet. Truly, she was an adversary and comrade of epic insectoid proportions (Did you know that mantids actually can kill and eat birds?!).
To honor her passing, let us talk about awesome! Christmas be awesome. I be awesome! Wait, I’m getting off track. Do over starting…
Now!
Christmas be awesome. Pretty Lights, lots of colors, Steam video sells video games like they don’t cost money, LoL minions don festive hats (Purple caster minions OP!), snow drifts lazily through the air (Then melts because it’s depressingly warm), gifts are frantically bought, jacked up shipment prices are frantically paid, and all families around the world love each other and come together to celebrate the birth of the baby Jesus (for God so loved the world that he lets me antagonize you in a blog post). It’s a joyful time, time for days off, time for gaming, and time for sitting and staring at a computer like the answer to the universe is locked in LCD pixels (6×9…?) Take it or leave it, but I suggest taking whatever you make of Christmas right now and making it a time for something fun, breathe the fresh, cold air, try to beat Half Life 1, read through the Least I Could Do archive because you can. Go to a park at night and actually see the stars for once, get existential in a blog post, watch In Bruges and understand black comedy, take a deep sea vent out on a romantic date to the French Riviera, waltz with Bon Jovi on the deck of the interstellar cruise ship titanic, watch flash cartoons and giggle endlessly… Now isn’t the time to read the grumpy blog post of a tardy tired typist who can’t find the ’embed link’ button in the poster tonight so his usual boring style is ruined, it’s your time.
Jebas bless ya, travelers. Cherry Mistmas!
Over and out.
