i hate the holidays

2 weeks of my summer were two of the best weeks of my life, and the rest was alright. It was one of my better summers.

I agree, Christmas has lost all meaning. I never even heard the quote mentioned earlier. Chistmas is greedy corporations brainwashing people. Some people enjoy it, some people hate it.

When I am out of my parents house I'm not going to celebrate Christmas, or any meaningless corporation driven holiday.

You can give people gifts any day of the year.

 

I was pretty much by myself for Xmas - for once... it was GREAT. Instead of forcing myself to be with people I just have nothing in common with

Free at last

 

my summer was awesome!
so im guessing next summer will be ever better

 

Christmas brings up so much for almost everyone, what with expectations and such.
The majority of people are lonely or unhappy on Christmas. Lot's of fake smiling--ironic, because a lot of people think it's just them.

 

And yeah, I find it way more meaningful to give or get gifts at random times of the year, just because the gift is meaningful, not because it's Christmas and one has to give people presents...

 

thats true WG, its alllways good to give and be considerin others, and somethin about it just feels right and natural to me... but, at christmas, you havent given a lot of people things in a while probably, and its sordove like a firework thats been repressed you know.. you havent dipped into that persons energy for so long, so when you do, it just fires off and explodes into somethin beautiful, sometimes anyway.

i hope this makes sense, cuz i definatley feel theres energy that flows in between people. alll sooorts of energy, sexual, intellectual, playful, it all has an energy to it if you watch for it and are truly intent on seeing it... and its sordove like music, things twist and turn and sometimes they fall, but then you can build them back up again, and its ultimatley up to you to do what you want with that energy your given. life invests a lot of energy into us ALL(why it does i dont know, i know i wouldnt give some people energy if i was a strong force with true greatness in the universe, or maybe i would) but we can always always make something new with what were constantly being given.

i read in phil lesh's book search for the sound, that whenever they wanted to be certain an event to really be happening, they would seek out some hip astrologers help in puttin things together, and it worked every time. maybe this is why christmas is funked up for some people, cuz its forced? but i read that recently on some ladies blog as well, about the astrology thing.. and maybe that is why energy flows and happens the way it does? we dont feel good sometimes cuz of karma, or cuz someones sendin us good vibes(or do we?), but we feel that way often because thats just the way the energies and planets in the universe are lining up for the time being. thats something ive always sordove wandered about and tryed to figure out, why do i sometimes feel a whooole lot more full of energy than others, and maybe thats the answer?

 

I enjoy christmas simply because people turn the asshole off for a couple weeks.

Even if they are supposed to be good, kind, and sharing year round...

i'll take what I can get.

 

They do? That's news to me..
