Christmas is in the offing; the Christmas spirit is befalling. That blissful time of the year is here again and it is getting better every year. For me, that is. As a Christian, the presents, Christmas tree, snow and Santa Claus don’t signify Christmas; not in the least bit. Christmas to me is in celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ and the greatest gift of all to all of mankind -the gift of Jesus’ Love…which many neglect during Christmas albeit it is the main focus. We should focus.

Nevertheless, in the tradition of Christmas, I practice several customs; like gift-giving. This has always been a problem for me because I don’t have sufficient money to get gifts for everyone due to certain reasons I won’t divulge. Ergo, I usually purchase presents for my family only, unfortunately.

One important thing about giving is to not expect anything in return. Giving becomes true joy the most when it comes from the heart and without any expectations. I learnt this the hard way but am glad I did.

Another Christmas tradition I cultivate is the red-green theme for some ironic and completely oafish reason. And that’s all I’m going to say about it.

If you don’t receive a (materialistic) gift for Christmas, feel sad about it and are aged <10, you can ask Santa for a letter or phone call here. However, if you don’t receive a (materialistic) gift for Christmas, feel sad about it and are aged >11, please don’t do it. (Santa doesn’t exist, dearie.)

I forgot to introduce myself. I abhor pizza. There you go. Oh, and I’m the youngest contributor to this site so please forgive me for my non-insightful musings.

P/S: I am fully aware that the correct term is Seasons Greetings. That typo must have been the keyboard’s fault. Or not.

Merry Christmas! And Seasons Greetings! In advance! Ho ho ho-

I’ll leave now.

First off. A very warm,hot,sweaty,sex-pumped Happy Chinese New Year. And a prosperous one of that. So what is Chinese New Year about? Family. Closeness. Relationships and relating. Reiterating contracts for fake-relationships, eg. Pretending to give a shit about people you don’t care about? Yea. All that jazz. Is that Chinese New Year?

Well that picture. I believe it covers the bases of Chinese New Year. Pig(Both because pigs are pigs and a lot of chinese people and non chinese people I know of are pigs, and it’s the year of the pig. A DOUBLE WHAMMY. Aren’t you lucky there.). Relationship-ing with a chicken. But not in the spirit of b-e-a-s-t-i-a-l-i-t-y of course. Just refers to the fake or sometimes crappy relationships that people try to strengthen during Chinese New Year. Yes. That’s right. Just as superficial. Can’t escape the superficiality regardless. Which kinda does suck. But meh. That’s how things are. Have been for a long time. And the optimist in me wishes for it to not be so in the future. But then again I am not a very good optimist. So lets see how things unfold.
End of the day. Azngeek.com still wishes you a very happy and prosperous Chinese New Year.

On to the next issues. Beggars. Usually. The azngeek doesn’t give a crap about them. Why? Because he believes that they have limbs, muscles, and a functioning brain. Therefore, they do not deserve pity. That’ll worsen the situation. That promotes and gives them a reason to dwell along the streets as nothings. As shells. Of nothings. That’s why I don’t give out to pity.(See a sweeping statement. They are stupid) I don’t really care about what you people think of me. As a kid I used to love you know throwing coins into that hat, that can, that open guitar case, or in that lap. But things have changed. I’ve become. Well. A cynical bitch over the years.

I much rather donate my money to the SPCA directly (I hate indirect donations, have no fucking idea what kind of “cut” people take. For all we know it could be a 100% cut.) Or anti-whaling committees etc. But that’s just me.

About beggars. Well there was this one. Along Queen street playing the clarinet. Usually I’m immune to that kinda shit. But next to him lay two dogs. Next to him. Loyally. Keeping him company. And he had a worn cardboard sign, frayed at the edges. “Help feed an old man, and his dogs.” Kryptonite I tell you. I felt a pang in my chest. Deep. I walked away. And then the strangest thing happened. I turned back. And emptied out my coins in his hat laid in front of him. The two dogs, their eyes never left me as I did it.(Contradiction of self. Note to readers. Avoid sweeping statements when writing) It felt good. And then then everything just seemed less dark. Less shitty. The world felt better. Ironic. Kryptonite would never make superman feel good (sorry for the comic book reference). But readers, that made my day. A good deed. Not so much in the spirit of superficiality. Not so much even in the spirit of a new year. It just felt necessary.
Anyways people. That’s enough of a rant.

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR. HAVE A GOOD ONE.

Peace out. Azngeek.
