T*S*E Rants
More craziness, just renamed.
This update will be what I had previewed on “WTF?!”
As far as my holidays went, it was civil {i.e. boring}. The most life we had was the gift-giving --- or lack thereof; what pisses me off the most other than CP time is when there are gonna be one or two extra people unaccounted for. Two years ago, I didn’t have a job so I couldn’t spring for gifts {and at those times, I miss being a kid….just make a card out of confetti and Cray paper and they’ll love it cuz you’re a kid that don’t know any better}. The year after, I only had just started my gig 3 months before Christmas; I was pardoned.

THIS year, I had no excuses.
My budget for each person, excluding two {not the unknown
guests}, was $20.
And be thankful I could spare that since they upped my hours at work.
I had gotten some decent stuff, but still this merriment only served to irritate me. Remember when I said we had two other people that showed up? Well, of course I had no gifts for them; I was revered as the ‘bad guy’ of the family --- that’s nothing new with my judgmental kin, but who’s fault was it that I didn’t find out til the day of when all my cash was run out?
I’m not a fucking physic!

Anyway, let me get to the main reason behind this rant
entitled:
Gifts you KNOW they really don’t give a fuck!
Gifts you KNOW they really don’t give a fuck!
Warning~
I will be mentioning a GREAT deal that’s gonna make you mad {possibly if you’re overly sensitive}. You can quit reading at any time!

>:( = Gift
Cards/Cash
The first gift I got basically as soon as I walked through the door.
I get that MOST would be happy with these {especially the givers}, but to me it shows you didn’t bother to use your precious brain power to think of something geared towards me!
Anyone in my life who cared would’ve known I love ripping the paper as much as wrapping w/ it; why the hell would you give me cash! What, you think that because it’s in an envelope and I can rip that I’d be satisfied? Believe me, there’s DEFINITELY something I want to rip open, and it’s not a Christmas present.

And another thing, gift cards ARE convenient --- I’ll admit
that one --- only IF you give one they’ll actually USE!! I mean, what kind of
person would I be if I gave a $50 Bally’s Gym card to a friend that is past the
borderline of ‘overweight’ when I know damn well she likes to shop at F.Y.E.
for horror movies? Or if someone gave me a $20 card to Olive Garden when they
see me eating at Burger King? Not only are you wasting money, but now you just
ticked those people off! Be thankful that all they do is take their gift back
from you and never speak to you again.
>:( = Re-gifting
If you got a great memory like me when it comes to the ‘wow’ factor, you don’t want to do repeats.
That’s EXACTLY what I and my friend would’ve done with the gift cards if we can dig them out of that person’s backside. We will repeatedly give them to someone who will use them.

Which brings up our next sub-category----
>:( = ‘Gifting’
for yourself
Where you give a gift you KNOW they’re gonna hate when you really bought it for you to use.
Seriously, instead of plotting and scheming to get it from that kind friend by ‘convincing’ them to give it back; save you fucking money and actually get to KNOW the person you’re buying for.

>:( = Present
Combo
Just. NO!
To sum up my meaning here’s a little fact from my family.
I have a cousin who’s literally born on Christmas Day {whereas I was born on Thanksgiving in ’83 but it’s ever changing} and every year, my family decides to be cheap!
You know what I’m talking about. I’m sure you have met or know someone personally that has that same dilemma of being born on a national holiday; I’m sure you hear from them the same thing I’m griping about. Thankfully, I was not part of THAT scheme since I was buying my own gifts this year; I gave my dear 19-yr-old male relative two and wrapped one of them with ‘Happy B-Day’ paper --- just so he knows I didn’t forget.

For those who STILL don’t understand, here’s an equation for
ya~
December 25th {ANY year} = The birth of the Lord Jesus
December 25th {ANY year} = The birth of Friend/Loved One
December 25th {ANY year} = The birth of Friend/Loved One
Jesus = Entity
Friend/Loved One = Human
Friend/Loved One = Human
FINAL SUM~
two different beings +two different B-days = two different presents
two different beings +two different B-days = two different presents
GET IT?!?!
And that’s all for this rant.
