As much as I’d love to go to everyone’s site and leave a comment… I know I won’t have the time.
Contrary to the latest rubbish by Bill “Phone Sex” O’Reilly…. Christmas is not under attack by anyone. I can name plenty of atheists and non-Christians on the right as I can on the left… so please take your self-imagined persecution and go and ruin someone else’s holiday, ok?
Christmas is in my heart… not on some nativity scene in my neighbor’s lawn or in front of a courthouse.
It’s not about how much is under your tree.
It’s not about how many cards you get.
It’s not about politics.
It’s about love, charity, good cheer and togetherness.
It supercedes all religions and all races.
It’s about giving and caring for those less fortunate than me.
It’s about magic and children’s faces lighting up with surprise and joy.
It’s about Peace on Earth… Good will to all.
And it’s all good.

UPDATE 12/20/04: Photos for the Reasons for Christmas II concert are up (better late then never, right?)
I’m not sure how long this site will be up… I have comments off because I already backed up MySQL and anything posted after this point will not exist after I make my move.
Just want to wish all of my CyberPals out there a Very VERY Happy ChristmaChanuKwanzaakah!
I’m off to be with friends and family, you can probably find me in one of four places:
Lots of great new stuff in the works for 2005… and you will ALL be a part of it, as MY success is YOUR success.
Love you all & see you soon.

The Secret Society of Happy People – Now THERE’S a GROUP just asking for persecution, donchathink?
Nah. It’s all good (as sick and twisted as it seems to me). I say more power to ’em. Better than spending the holidays with a bunch of depressed shmucks spreading doom & gloom, that’s for sure.
Like Billy Joel sings: “I’d rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints”.
Tonight’s the Reasons for Christmas II concert at the Hillside Inn (You’re coming, right? You regetted missing all the fun last year).
As my first day as a freelance graphic artist, tonight’s ORDER of business is… well, business.
All the movers and shakers of the Poconos will be there, and I just whipped up a batch of business cards to pass out.
I just hope all the performers at the concert will have the decency to keep the music down while I and said movers & shakers talk bidness. 🙂
State Representative Kelly Lewis has resigned on Monday.
This is bad news for my area… as he has been one of the best things that’s ever happened to the Poconos.
Actually, come to think of it… this totally SUCKS!
We’re all shocked and devastated.
I have a confession to make.
I’m left handed.
Please don’t hate me.
Oh right. It’s 2004. We’ve wised up in society and realized that southpaws are not cursed to be Satan’s minions unless we’re forced to write with our right hands.
Sounds silly don’t it? Less than two generations ago, schoolkids WERE forced to become right-handed because of silly superstitions. They’re still luckier than the people FROM 400 years ago that were burned as witches because of it.
We used to think Blacks and Jews were subhumans once. We wised up. Maybe we’ll wise up about gays some day. Maybe one day we’ll grow up and come to realize that gay people, like southpaws, are simply “wired different” than “normal” folks.
Between the four blogs I am currently managing… I have deleted well over 1,000 comment spams FROM this jerkoff in the past few days. You’ll never see them because WordPress has some awesome features that automatically detects spam and throws it INTO a queue, pending moderation.
Now for someone who asks “why do these people spam, it can’t be all that profitable?!!?”.
Apparently, you don’t understand the spamming industry.
The companies and websites that you are being spammed with are not the ones doing the spamming. They hire someone to do this.
The spammers get paid whether you buy the crap or not.
