Viewing Thoughts: Here we are. My yearly tradition. Watching Christmas Vacation. I babble and relate the current state of my life to the Griswold Family Christmas. For once, I'm kinda restful. Oh, I know my life is crap, really, pure garbage, but I'm kinda happy. I'm looking past the crap and just living my life. That's what I admired by Clark Griswold: His ability to persevere. You get that in all the Vacation films. The key to these films is that it's rare that you laugh at the Griswold's. Sure, they do dumb things but, more often than not, you're just as in on the joke as they are. Anymore, I try to laugh at myself. Life goes so much better if you can. Occasionally, things comes to a head and the people around you lose faith but you push through. I can get angry. When I do, I over react but, you know what, I get over it and persevere.
Also, I should avoid squirrels.
The movie is 25 years old this year, this month. It's always going to probably be my favorite Christmas movie.
I'm reading an article in Rolling Stone and it's just fascinating.
Non-Viewing Thoughts: I might hang out with a friend instead of doing to movies tomorrow. I'm surprisingly okay with either outcome at this point.
Late
Christmas Ideas: At this point, I'd say the chances of me ever getting those antler mugs is roughly the same as me ever getting to go to Disney.
