My brother, some friends, and I are working on getting a good site out there. The site is called VMHero and it is based around providing information about the great technology known as Virtualization. We’re hoping to make this site big some day. So, please… click the link below and tell your friends about it!
I don’t tell many people this, but the hardest time of the year for me to get through is the holiday season. I’m sure at this point all the people that don’t like the fact that I do not believe in any sort of “god” or any religious feelings are assuming that is why I hate it. But that is not the reason, so shut up and keep reading.
I hate the holiday season for many reasons. In my house it is the most stressful time of year because that is just the way it is. It has everything to do with the way my mom is and how the whole family is dysfunctional. My mom has filled the house with crap quickly in recent years, and… especially this year… it becomes harder and harder to actually have a holiday celebration at all. This year, our family room was filled with so much of crap… so much that it seemed impossible that it could go anywhere else since our house is basically at its physical capacity. Somehow, my dad pulled through and found a place to put everything so that we could even put the tree up. I’m still amazed it happened.
But in this house… it’s a running joke almost… that we can’t have a holiday without my mom having a complete mental break down and threatening to leave for good. Joking aside, my mother has never gotten through a holiday without finding something to run to her room and have a temper tantrum over… just like a 5 year old.
Just based on that you can probably conclude why I hate holidays in general, and the holiday season just amplifies it all.
But another big reason I hate holidays is because of that feeling of obligation. I hate feeling obligated to get people something for people I may be close to. I pretty much try to do everything I can to make sure they don’t get me anything and I don’t have to get them anything. People just think that because it’s near the end of the year everyone has to be all happy and give people things. Well, I don’t want anything from anyone. Sorry if I sound like an asshole, but I really don’t. I don’t want you to feel like you need to get me anything just as much as I don’t feel like I have to get you anything.
