Anyway, I never posted an Early Bird Speshul so i’ll save the pictures I took for later … Although admittedly they weren’t great because I was really god damn busy … And I didn’t get the one I wanted >_> Curses.
So recently I started watching the box-sets of House M.D. that I purchased on the cheap from HMV (£18 a box from … 30/40? I forget). It is so good I could barely drag myself away to get some sleep for work.
Speaking of work, I must start getting ready soon even though i’ve got a killer cough and i’m really tired … Because … Its basically too late to call in sick. Damn.
Its nearly Christmas for all you pathetic believers out there … For all you level headed people its nearly the Winter Solistice (or Sol Invictus) … For Taiwan its Constitution day … and there are numerous other holidays which fall upon the 25th.
I myself will be celebrating the prior – since it is based out of a real event – and taking it as an oppurtunity to show good will to others.
After all, if we celebrate birthdays then why not the (re-)birthday of the Sun?
I distinctly being told by a member of ET that i’m not allowed to celebrate Christmas, well … as Wikipedia tells us:
Origen denounced the idea of celebrating Christ’s birthday “as if he were a king pharaoh“. He contended that only sinners, not saints, celebrated their birthdays.
Have a Happy Holiday everyone, but don’t get too caught up in the “Mumbo-Jumbo”.
Spread good will to others, and don’t persecute others for just a day, I know it’s hard for your Christians and Muslims … But try.
(This isn’t my Holiday post, you’ll get one closer to the 25th Hopefully, so keep tuning in!)
Regards and Best Wishes
James.
