Ok, I'm trying to make this "blogging" thing a habit to work on my writing style. (Trust me, I need all the help I can get in language arts.) So, most of these things are probably not going to be extremely exciting, but it's not like any one is reading it. Well, now that I have realized that I have a pretty sad outlook on my social popularity, I will get done to what is really bothering me. I don't know how yall's parents are regarding Christmas, but mine has this apparent idea that everyone does their holiday shopping in like September and October. And if you do, I'm glad to know that my mom isn't completely crazy. But anyway, because of this idea, I always get yelled at in about October because I haven't finished my list. Well this year, I am a changed man. I have been toiling tirelessly in front of my computer for weeks... ok, days... FINE, it has only been a couple of hours, but it was tirelessly. Actually, I'm not quite sure what tirelessly means. (see why I need the LA help?) But anyway, i have in some form or another been working on a Christmas list. See, this is leading to a dilemma. You see, I am a pretty content guy. I don't really want anything (all people with heart problems, stop reading now). So, I have had to stretch for my list. But I percervired. Finally, I made it to the ever-popular CD section. Now, I have to say, for my age, I listen to pretty parentally acceptable music. But, I am still a kid my age. It can't be avoided, there will be some CD on the list that, although there maybe nothing "bad" about the CD or the music, has something "mean" or "ugly" about it. Ok, that is cool. I have plenty of cool, hip (wow, I just said "hip") relatives that would be perfectly cool with the CD. The biggest issue is that, and it never fails, the least "acceptable" CD is found by one of my few "old school" great aunts. And then, after looking through the rest of the perfectly fine list items, they say to themselves, "Well, I think I'll give him this!" Talk about an uncomfortable gift to unwrap Christmas Eve. So now I have had to filter CDs to take out of my list for the "Aunt Acceptable" list. Talk about a head ache. Oh well, I need to get goin'. But I hope you enjoyed this short look into the life of the "most interesting man on earth." That's right, I am that strange Hispanic man on that Dos Equis commercial. See ya later.
(Did any one else notice how many times I used "quotations"? I'll have to work on that.)
