Just a thought

I spent the past 9 hours at work standing on a ledge, more than 30 feet off the ground, taking inventory of boxes upon boxes. So what does that mean to you?

I spent the past 12 years of my life terrified of heights. And here I am, at the age of 20, with a foot dangling comfortably off a ledge as I continuously write out inventory tickets for hours. I never resolved my fear, you will not find me slack lining across Yosemite (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-N6Va-5BBM <- Like in this video).

But seriously, what does this have to do with anything?

I don't know. I just thought it meant something like "Live your life on the edge" or something like that. But that's dumb and stupid. Life is precious and fairly long for most people.

I then spent another hour at a mall with my friend so she can finish her holiday shopping. It was a stupid idea if you asked me.

These holidays are supposed to be remind us that it's our families and friends we should be thankful for and spend time with them. Instead, we go shopping for shit we don't need. Not to be a scrooge, but what is a Wii or an XBox going to do for you? It doesn't feed you, hold you, care for you, nor love you.

I guess in essence, what I wanted to say was Happy Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and whatever holidays you may celebrate during this season. Just don't forget the real meaning, because the people you surround yourself with are the people that you should love and cherish.


It's not the mass produced toy/item that everyone has or wants that makes you special, it's your friends and family that do that.


Cheers.
