I’m sure if you’ve read this blog more than once in your life, you’re well aware that this is my first Christmas in over 16 years that I’m not working retail. What is so amazing about all of that, well I haven’t really figured it out, I guess. I can say I don’t miss the hustle bustle of having everything looking good every morning for customers. In fact, I’m sure if I wanted a fast case of indigestion, I could just read a blog of a year or two ago about all the stupid shit that I went through for that store. But come on, it’s Christmas time, not time to bitch about the past; instead, I’d rather bitch about the present. Oh, now he’s gonna go off about a present he’s getting. Nope, that’s not what I mean, I don’t mean present like gift, I mean present as in “NOW”.
I’m watching a Comedy Central like I normally do and then I see this ad for Christmas music from who do you ask? Was it Bing Crosby, perhaps Gene Autry, maybe even Burl Ives, hell possibly even the Backstreet Boys? No, it was Christmas songs from Twisted Sister. Now I have to admit I liked Twisted Sister back when I was 10 fucking years old. I still have the cassette of Stay Hungry and occasionally listen to We’re Not Gonna Take It or I Wanna Rock, but Christmas music? Come on now. I don’t know… I think it’s a good sign of the upcoming Apocalypse.
