I really like Christmas, the songs, the presents, and seeing other family relatives, although I'm not really social at all and I can't remember all of my relatives names and faces because there are so many of the. But I hate how people act so crazy during Christmas.
I mean when Christmas comes around some people sometimes drive so fast that they don't seem to care if they run over someone or get into a car accident until it's too late, I should know because me and my brother almost got ran over a few years ago during christmas time while going to a game shop. Then they take most of the things you want to get way faster than you do since their not as busy as you are. I mean my brother wanted Terminator Salvation, Angels and Demons, Hangover, and Something Something Something Darkside but was only able to get the last one, although my mom was able to get Terminator Salvation today so it's all good.
Not to mention that now I can't get my new phone until next Thursday because they ran out I mean for crying out loud Verizon said they got the shipment of the phones yesterday and they ran out today I mean shouldn't they have phones reserved for the people who requested them like they do with games. Oh and let's not forget that one time 2 years ago when I wanted to get a Wii for Christmas but it took almost a year to find one since it was sold out everywhere I mean it was almost the same thing for my DS Lite but luckily I found that at a Best Buy of all places.
And finally this it the time that my father is sure to be manic. I mean like yesterday at the car dealer my dad was so crazy since my mom went to buy the car yesterday instead of today since the car dealer said he wasn't going to be there today because he was going to have a day off today, or so he said.
My dad was so mad that he said that he was going to get the car, the reason being that the dealer wanted to buy our old car for $500 dollers, and was spouting out nonsense like he was going to just replace the car's engine and it would only cost $5000...yeah like that was ever going to happen since it would probably have even more problems even if we did replace the engine, not to mention, and this is something that I forgot to mention in the "What am I thinking" thread, that the car had electrical problems so the signals don't work
90% of the time, so there was no way I was going drive that death trap anyway. I mean that was one of the reasons that I was so scared of leaning how to drive in that car, it's way too unsafe.
Anyway back to my dad, when he got to the dealer he was so mad that after we walked out of there saying that he didn't want to buy the new car if he was only able to sell it for 500$ the dealer runs out and agreed to let my dad sell it for $2000, which was the price he wanted, because before it went from $500 to $700 to $1000 and then finally $2000. I mean during this ordeal I was crying, because my dad was really scary, my grandpa was scared, and my mom was shocked but she went along with it because she's seen this before and the minute the dealer went from $500 to $700 she knew that the dealer was going to give in to $2000. And man you should of seen the dealer afterward I mean I didn't really see his face but my mom said sorry to him and he "said it was alright" but a lot more shook up so if I paid attention and saw his face I would probably say that he almosted peed his pants.
Not to mention when my dad drives, his road rages gets even worse becuae of the crazy drivers. I mean my dad is strictly a by the book driver, if you don't stop fully at a stop sign he blows up for a minute. Not to mention my dad is a little bit rasist so he thinks that most of the bad drivers are Mexicans.
I'm sorry if this sounded partially selfish, but I just wish that the people who do go shopping don't act so selfish so they don't make so many people suffer one way or another.
Although of course that's not going to be possible because there no way everyone can act selfless, and if that does happen then something is wrong because either we have some kind of evil dictator or something like The Giver or Ferenheit 451 happened which means the world is really messed up. I mean it's just like that guy who worte the Leivathan said, people are naturally selfish, evil and stupid. Although I would wish to lean on what that other guy, who's name I also forgot, said which was people are naturally kind and good and if given the choice they would do the right thing but it seems to be the other way around. I mean I just wish that people would realize that the are taking so many things for granted and that if they lost all the technological advances we have today, there would be no way we could possibly survive since our society is so dependant on technology. I know I've taken a lot of things for granted but that's how thing are right now.
...Holy crud this entire thing is so off topic now. I guess my friend was right, even though me and 90% of my history class are failing that stupid teacher's class I really am learning a lot. That nad I maust be playing too much Megaman Starforce 3. Anyway in conclusion, I love Christmas but everyone seems to have forgotten what it really means. So Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, have a good Kawanza, or whatever holiday you celebrate. Happy Holidays and cheers to a New Year.

Although I probably won't get X8 since I'm more of a hand held gamer anyway and if I can't beat those steroid induced bosses, I'll go back to Disgaea.
