Christmas to Perfection
2001-12-25 - 1:43 a.m.

"Christmas celebration! Gone around the nation! Won't you stay with me tonight, cuz I'm running out of fight, and the pageantry is such a bore!" -Weezer

Merry Christmas!

I made out like a THIEF! The list:

- 8 shirts and sweatshirts (probably more)

- 3 or 4 pairs of pants

- 2 CDs (Radiohead and the Strokes)

- 1 DVD (DMB video collection)

- Undies and socks (woo hoo)

- a PC Mouse with lil' scrolly wheel

- Ultimate Fighting Championship for DC

- Dance Dance Revolution (with floorpad)

- Grandia II and Skies of Arcadia for DC

- a VMU for the DC (but keep that on the DL, G)

- lots and lots of Weezer CDs that I burned for myself of live and demo stuff

- a 3 CD changing stereo (!!!)

- probably even MORE stuff over the course of the month

- and finally... $257 dollars in cash, so far. Holy shit!

I could buy a Gamecube. Or maybe a plane ticket to somewhere not likely to have terrorists wanting to blow it up. Yes! Air travel!

Man, it's like I'm being rewarded financially for all the psychological and mental setbacks I've endured this last month. I didn't even talk about my Miami trip to visit Andrea yet (quite uneventful, though I did get to see tall buildings. oooOOOoo.) The rest of the month consisted of me playing lots and lots of Dance Dance Revolution and getting semi-good... not doing much driving lately (d'oh!), and downloading lots of Weezer music, and then making cases for this Weezer Music, and then listening to this Weezer music on CD. Not too bad! The negative balance is the horrendous mother stress. We've both determined we can't live together. Keen observation!

But today is Christmas. CHRISTMAS!

So I will pretend like there was no horrendous stress. I will pretend like all is well and happy in Joel the Cat land. And for a little while it will be. I feel the Material love, and I know that the intangible kind is floating around me too. Thanks to my friends all 'cross the country; friends in New York (John! Dan! Melissa!), my friends and family in Florida (Tot!!!!), my roomie in South Carolina (Hey Eddie!), my friends in Louisiana (Kermie and Spot, and Jesse!!), California (Hey Jeremy!), Washington (Robin!), and my old and new friends in Mississippi (Pat! Brooke! Chris! Andy!!! Hell, even Thea!), and all the other people who I forgot to list who will kick me later! Muchas gracias for bein kick ass. Much love!

"Christmas to perfection / I'm begging for some action / and the ringing in my ears / is the sound of Christmas cheer

/ and they've knocked me screaming overboard" -Weezer

Reason for Terror # 82:

Using phrase "da bomb" unwittingly in phone tapped conversations could lead to arrest and beatings by the FBI, local authorities, and hip police.

Reason for Terror # 81:

There was a little bit of mold on that bread you had this morning.

Reason for Terror # 80:

When evening falls, you can try to drive away; but the moon will be following... always following...
