Christmas

The holidays of holidays: Christmas.

Woke up early as hell (7:30) to open the gifts (actually I had to be awaken). Anyways, got some snacks, a boardgame, Terminator: Salvation on blu-ray and some $$$$. I'd say it was a pretty good Christmas this year and now I'm about to enjoy the nightlife (hopefully).

On My Mind

What's on my mind this week: there's Christmas, and it's 4 days away. I finally finished a semester of school with a 4.0 GPA; long time coming. There's my on-again/off-again relationship with sleeping; some nights I will fall asleep in 15 minutes, other times I can't go to sleep and eventually get only 4 hours of sleep (last night). And I do have another thing on my mind, but I'll save that for some other time. That's actually been on my mind for quite some time but I think I should keep it to myself. See you on Christmas.

"Anybody Order a Loveburger Well Done..."

Have you seen "Can't Hardly Wait"? Nah. Well then, you should get yourself to the nearest blockbuster or be a law-breaker and find it online somewhere or steal it from a helpless 21 year old who saw it when he was 11 years old. Just see it regardless. A band even named their demo after the movie and it's lines. Too bad their new cd sucked.
