Frustrations

Journal Entry: Thu Dec 13, 2007, 12:18 PM
Is it just me or is Christmas a depressing time?  (I hate the crowds, I hate giving money away to companies that are already rich, I hate how people without much money put all of the money they have into presents, I hate how its 'Jesus birthday' and we're giving presents to each other instead of him) I haven't started buying/creating gifts because of this. All I want is to relax, read a book, have some tea, engage in some nice conversation.  None of this go-go-go stuff, none of this buy-buy-buy stuff, none of this dumb-dumb-dumb mentality and tradition.  It just doesn't feel right.

17 days until I'm 17.

I think Religion is a personal thing and shouldn't be discussed with strangers. It just doesn't feel right.

Photoshop isn't working again because the 'scratch disks are full'.  Too much music and pictures on the computer apparently.

My new fitness regiment has been going well.  In 22 days I've run 40.5 miles. I've also been lifting weights and I feel good.

Last night I went to bed super early because I was bored and in a bad mood. I didn't want to go to school today and bam, its a snow day.  There is a god!

I think I'm behind in school.  But who knows these days, what with not being able to think.  And I'm going to be working more because of the christmas rush.  I wish I could quit and get a job where I actually help people or talk to people or work with people.

well, giving to others who are in need is like we're giving to Jesus- there's a verse in the bible that says this...

the thing is many just give to those they love and are consumed their lives with- whereas we're called to love everyone, even our enemies.

Hope you're having a good holiday season and happy New Year! :)

I understand completely man. Christmas is depressing. I wonder what it would be like if we actually had a "Silent Night".

I agree, x-mas is a commercialized day of greed perpetuated by big business. It is far worse today then it was 10 or 12 years ago mind you (or perhaps I've just become more cynical in my old age). Anyway, I don't plan on spending much money at all... people these days go out and buy gifts that have no meaning... merely an excuse to buy your kids that PS3 or get something someone else wants. When I give a gift it has to have personal meaning, something intangibly intangible hehe. A long card or something unique or hand-made holds infinitely more meaning to me then something mass-produced.

I'm with you 110% on the relaxation, tea and good convo :):nod:

Wicked results from your running, keep it up. You go running outside?

Hope you have a good time on your birthday :) kinda nice to have it during x-mas break.

I watched Garden State btw :) it was a great movie!

Take care!! :heart:

Thanks for understanding :hug:
I started out running outside, but its difficult when its so cold outside and when there aren't any lights on your street, so I've been treadmilling it up for the past while. Its a bit boring, but I just blast the music and get into this mode where I can run forever.
Awesome! I actually watched it a few weeks ago, and it brought back memories of the first time I watched it :heart:
