The twenty fifth of December.




So it’s Christmas and it just doesn’t feel like it is for some reason. I don’t know why, but it just feels like any other day really, then again, I guess it is. The clock hit midnight and mum called me and my brother in to the living room as it would formally be called, or TV room as it is called in our house. Brett and I were talking today about Christmas and what we would want if we could just have like, everything that we wanted or something like that, and I just had this vision of waking up on Christmas morning and there actually being a Christmas tree. Under the Christmas tree would be all these big boxes, all with my name on it. The first one I opened was DJ Hero, so happy. I played this game at Dick Smiths the other day and it was actually amazing. I thought it would be so shit because, I don’t know, it just looked appalling. Playing it is a different story though and it was the most fun I have had playing a game since the first time I ever played Guitar Hero.

As happy as I was, it was kind of sad because I had a broken Xbox. Until I got a new Xbox, all I could really do was spin the DJ Hero turntable and pretend I was playing the game, and I don’t know how much fun that would really be, and how long the fun; if there was any, would last. I opened the second box, and to turn things around completely, it was a brand new Xbox 360, and the new Call of Duty. Unfortunately, none of this actually happened, like I said, it was all this vision that I kind of had and then Brett and I just talked about how amazing that would be. When mum called me to the TV room, I just thought to myself, maybe that vision wasn’t just wishful thinking, maybe it was an actual future vision. I looked at the space where the Christmas tree was last year to see that there is no Christmas tree, and the presents that are sitting in front of the fire place are still not for me.

There was something for me though, something stuffed into my stocking, and it was DVD shaped. I opened the wrapping to find out that it is actually the thickness of two DVD’s. I open the wrapping more, like, enough so that I could actually see what the DVD’s actually were. The first one was Role Models, which I was happy about because it is just fucking funny, and the other one was Max Payne, which is just, like, it’s not a good movie. I was so happy though when mum said ‘if you don’t want one of them, don’t open it and we can take it back’ but it was almost before she finished talking when I said that ‘yeah, I don’t really want Max Payne’ but I think I said it a bit nicer than that. Mum said that she would go and take it back and get Transformers on DVD... so fucking happy.

I thought that maybe I should do something special for the blog today, I mean it is Christmas, but I just didn't know what to do. I decided on not really doing anything at all, just writing this and yeah, publishing it. I was really excited to have a sentence in this blog that was something like 'and my present to you is' and then something that I could just do, but like, it would just be nice or something but I just didn't think of anything. Despite not getting a present from me, whoever you are reading this, I hope you have an amazing Christmas, have an amazing day, get all the presents that you wanted and just continue to have great times like I hope you are. If you are reading this though, I actually fucking love you, and yeah, okay there it is, this is my present to you this Christmas, I actually genuinely love you! Merry Christmas, and enjoy that picture of Katy Perry wrapped in Christmas lights and wearing a Santa hat.
