Sorry to hear about the relative man.

Well, I had a big dinner...made enough food for like 12 people.
I didn´t get anything for Christmas though . Because of work and my car not running I couldnt make it to SoCal...my family didn´t really believe me about work not allowing employees time off from Nov 8th to Jan 8th, so they all got upset and left me out this year. I guess the good news is I finally got more hours this coming week. At least I didn´t get totally laid off. 24hrs..but its enough to buy food and pay my car insurance and gas.

The really really cool thing though, one of my friends he got a 007:Nightfire for Christmas, but it wont run on his computer...so I get to play it before he gets his computer upgraded...it barely runs on mine though. Can´t get the sniper rifle to work right. And he and his wife got the scort a strut tower bar

It´s enough for me though. At least I got to spend it with some awesome people.

I always thought the day after Thanksgiving was the busiest day of the year. yeah I have work from noon till 5 tomorrow

Well my christmas was mixed. We moved into a new place two weeks ago today so we are still mostly in boxes. they 23rd I went to the old apartment to finish getting everything out and found out they ripped out all the carpet and left all the doors open with my stuff there. so it was kinda hard to get back into the holiday mood.

but it worked out good in the end. I got a weight bench I really wanted, a shop vac, saw, cordless dremel tool, some sweet guinness signs, misc cooking stuff (I love to cook.... and eat thats why I got the weight bench *L*).

Yesterday I bought a 300lb olympic weight set from play it again sports for $99. Darn good price IMHO. it is normally about $140. I´m not sure if all the stores cary these weights or not. they are new not used.

Anywho so with the addition of some more tools I´m REALLY itching to get those boxes out of the garage and start working on the scort and jeep. Money will be tight probably until feb but no biggie. probably take that long to unpack

P.S. this new happy holidays thing is the dumbest thing I´ve ever heard of. happy holidays used to mean Christmas and new years. now is some lame ass PC way of not offending anyone. Just so some little jerk doesn´t get their panties in a bunch. SCREW ´EM! I mean really its CHRISTMAS. On other holidays celibrate away. It doesn´t matter what religion you approve of. It is a holiday for that group. soon it will be someone elses holiday. post all you want on this message board I don´t care. I think its cool to see and learn about other people holidays/beleifs personally.

I always thought only doing what you want was called childish... I dunno what the heck is going on these days.

For my family Christmas has always been a time to get together and reflect on the year not really a christian thing.

anyway... that is the end of my rant for today.... maybe I should start a "matts dumb stuff of the week" article hehe
