Show us a brand to which you're loyal.

Eh, I'm not.  At all.  I have preferences, but no company will ever really have my "loyalty", they need to be loyal to me.  I give them my money.  I pay for their service.  I'm gracious when everything is good.  I just try not to be any kind of fan boy.  I try to be open to anything that has the potential of benefiting me.  I'm not rich.  I don't have loads of money.  My purchases are based on "bang for the buck".  I do my research.  If I like product A and it has served me well, but product B is just like product A in most aspects but it new and cheaper I'll try it.  If I don't like it, I'll go back. I would recommend something I liked, that worked well for me.  There are some brands I can't find much of a fault with. *shrug*.

Yes let's drag 8 hours of that into the rest of my life.  No.

Show us your favorite photograph.

Did you ever get that awkward feeling of deja vu?  Like someone's asked you something practically just like this a few days ago in a QotD?

Show us your life in ten years.

You know, for some people who struggle with the here and now this assignment isn't exactly a kind one.  Can I just deal with the "here and now" and get back to you in ten years?

10 - Battle Scars [Explicit]

Show us what you're looking forward to in 2008.

I'm not clairvoyant, how should I know what to look forward to in 2008?  Well, I guess there are some things I have been looking forward to:

Cloverfield Commercial #1 - Monster

Cloverfield.  This looks like it could go either way: awesome or terrible.  There are some other movies I wouldn't mind seeing: Diary of the Dead, X-Files 2, The Dark Knight... But life will go on if I don't see any of them.

Presidential Nomination Button

I'm looking forward to getting a certain numb skull out of office.  I'm hoping he isn't replaced with certain numb skulls I have already begun to -hate-.  I'll admit that some of the campaign 'traditions' or posing bullshit moves that some I have disliked to begin with have shifted my dislike for them up quite a few notches.  I'm not looking forward to more negative campaigning and cliche promises and speeches that aren't going to stick.  But who would look forward to that?

Finally, I'm looking forward to Summer. Do you have to ask Why?

Sunset from 2007

How are you spending New Year's Eve?

I have a bottle of champagne chilling and waiting to be gulped down.  I don't really have anything special planned.  I can't say I feel like doing anything special or going anywhere where there are too many people.  Specifically, too many people drinking.  Rowdy people.  Noisy people.  I'm just not feeling it.  So... Just me and some champagne.  :)  maybe some quiet reflection (I know, what's new there eh?  meh.  shut up! ;))

03 Holiday

Green Day

Share your favorite holiday song.

Believe it or not, I am not too crazy about holiday music.  I can't even think of one exception.  I was burnt out at a young age.  I don't mind having to listen to it, but I don't own a single holiday tune.    This is probably the only thing I have that even mentions "holiday".

Show us your favorite thing about this time of year.

I was looking for a picture with google picture... But I ran across this site:

http://www.yogalifestyle.com/CAShakti.htm

That's one interesting calendar.

Show you something I love about this time of year?  That'd be hard.  It's the color of the season... All the houses, lights, displays, events, and other things that color this otherwise cold and bland month.  Even Hailey (otherwise referred to as MAO) has gotten in on the act!

Show us what you hope Santa brings you.

I can't show you.  I don't really want a thing.  I do want many things, but I try not to ask for them...   I gave that up the year I got a few shirts I still haven't worn.  I just want to wake up and have people open up and enjoy the gifts I've given them.

What I really want?  I want my life to kind of fall into a near perfect place.  I want to be offered a sweet job with good pay.  I want to go a long stretch of time without a feeling of dread or loathing when I wake up and face spending 8 hours wishing that time move by at the speed of light so I can get on with my life.  Don't get me wrong, I don't want a job that would become my life, I want a job that I wouldn't mind sharing my life with.  I should be appreciative that I am employed, if by a thread, contingent on the fact that no one else is willing to do all that is my job for less than what I get paid; however, I find myself clock watching, waiting for the 'other' shoe to fall, and wishing I had went down a different path in life. It sucks and for the time being, there isn't much I can do about it.  Move laterally or take a rung down the ladder. fuckitall.

Let me modify my request: perhaps I can find some peace to dissipate this feeling of dissatisfaction with the course of my life so far... I don't know.  Sometimes I wonder if all this is in my head?  Some seem to agree that it isn't, so i suppose it couldn't be.  Maybe i should ask for a dose of blissful ignorance to help obscure how I believe I'm underpaid and over educated and I've made a few bad decisions in my life?  It'd be nice to be a happy go lucky fool for a while.

So santa, I find myself sitting on your lap asking for what you can't give me... A Life. You senile, whiskey soaked, cookie stealing son-of-a-bitch. ;)

BTW: Thanks ahead of time for the coal!  It'll go a long way this winter in keeping me warm 'coz I can't afford to pay the heating bill all by myself!
