"drudging slowly over wet sand, back to the bench where your clothes were stolen..."

another holiday approaches. and the dread slowly seeps in. the pressure to be excited. to be happy and glowy and smiley...

it is not me.

i am not that.

deep down inside, we all know that what the various media sells us is bullshit.
there really aren't any coolwhip moments... times are tough. why can't we invest in that reality then say, the crap that is jersey shore or real housewives etc?
~~~

i'll be heading to work soon for a short day. then it's off for the holiday and black friday. all i want is peace and quiet. i just want to listen to music, watch old buffy episodes and brood or sleep. but, i'll be enmeshed in family this holiday. and tons of food. and noise. i'll spend a few hours at my Mom's but, this time, i don't plan on staying until late night. i want some time to myself.

    Hi Franny, I hope you have a good couple days off and enjoy the holiday as best you can. I can relate to the alone time I enjoy my quiet time also. I just got "This world we live in" yesterday that is the current book I am reading, Also Mom got my a kindle E reader for Christmas I am really going to make good use of that,I really appreciate your suggestions on books we must think a lot alike. Be careful and try not to eat too much... Tim
