DAY SEVENTEEN: I’m just now realizing the damage Christmas has done….I thought I shopped well, frugally even….my checkbook is telling me something different. As I look I wonder, well, I gave gifts and got gifts in return, right, so it’s worth it (I know I know, giving the gift alone is worth it, sure I love to give, I love to make people smile, but wtf…not sure if it’s worth what my checkbook is telling me I’ve spent…yeah yeah, bah humbug!) and then I realize, well what exactly DID I get in return??? Some clothes, a book, a few DVDs, some concert tickets (that I can’t wait to enjoy)….and I come to the realization that I could’ve bought myself all of this shit and had enough left over (from what I spent) to go on a pretty nice vacation! And let me tell you, I spend probably ¼ of what I normally spend this year…which makes the years past quite disgusting. No wonder American Express wants my first born child. Optimistic spin: American Express will be waiting for quite some time so maybe I’ll win the lottery in that time and be able to keep said first born child. Wait, you have to play to win, don’t you? Better start.
And who knows if I get lucky there, maybe I'll try to bring USC a little luck now that Pete Carroll has decided to bail on a program he's built up for the past decade after one semi-bad season at a time when all hell is going down...and we've replaced him with Lane Kiffin (who was there for a lot of Carroll's tenure) who after he had one barely winning 7-6 season at Tennessee comes back to USC and promises a "squeaky clean" program....what's fun about squeaky clean?! I have a sinking feeling this decade will not be fun for USC fans. For better or for worse though, right? I vaguely remember some kind of oath you have to take when you join the Trojan family...or was that something from one of my many trips to Vegas?? Hmmmm......Optimistic spin: I highly doubt it will ever again be as bad as it was when I was at USC and we made signs begging the visiting team to take our coach (Paul Hackett) with them when they left town! I mean, we lost to Notre Dame...it was bad :)
(To all of those I bought presents for....I don't regret it, I'm happy I bought them, I live to make you happy...don't forget that when my birthday rolls around)
