Not too much to say... had a great day and night on Saturday. The evening started with Christmas dinner with my mom's side of the family (this was the only day possible for everyone to get together at the same time). Great dinner, great being around the family (especially having my aunt and uncle there from Alberta... first Christmas with them in many, many years!), and afterwards a great Christmas singalong with the piano and guitar.
After all of that, as if it weren't enough already, I went to my friends/group Christmas party, which was attended by 30-40 strong and was an awesome time! We did our gift exchange with our small core group (Greg had me, and got me Pirates of the Caribbean on DVD, which is freakin' awesome!!) and many-a-person was drunk. I, of course, downed a few Nestea's. Lots of people showed up, including Jeremy of course, and later on Dustin, Mike, and Mark (which was a pleasant surprise). All the DC were there (and tolerable) and as I've mentioned, great fun was had.
Anyway, that's about it for now. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
Tough questions. Big questions. Very little answers. I'm going to talk about social issues, pop culture, politics, life and death, love, religion and faith, comedy, and everything in between. But this won't be a mess of a place. I'll look at the contradictions and hypocrisies at the root of many opinions out there (mine sometimes included), and why we accept those while offering up condemnation for the silliest of things.

THEY COME AND GO SO FAST...
Well, another birthday has come and gone. I got some wonderful, unexpected gifts from a few of my friends, which was really nice, considering I wasn't expecting anything at all. And they were actual thoughtful gifts that will definitely be used by me, including a guitar stand, Old Navy gift certificates, and a cool 9V Battery cell phone charger (I can now charge my phone while it's in my pocket!) Of course, there was also the disappointments... a bunch of people didn't show up to my "party" I threw, many with good reasons, several with no reasons whatsoever. So that was kind of unfortunate. Of course, those who did come were definitely great company, and their attendance was welcomed and appreciated. Between the "Trio" and a few others, I've got some damn good friends that are always there for me. If I didn't have that, I don't know what I'd have.
It kind of sucks... my dad didn't even get me a card for my birthday. In fact, I don't even recall hearing him say "Happy Birthday" all day. I mean, I did get a gift (useful though unmemorable – he paid for my speeding ticket because he forgot to do so with my bank card the day before my trip and it had to be paid before I got back). But I don't care about gifts and monetary things so much as meaningful things... such as a simple card from one's own father. I guess his girlfriend takes up so much of his time, there's no time left to do measly things such as this. Who knows.
It's about time I find myself some new clients, as I'm almost caught up on most of the current stuff (with the exception of regular updates, etc. that need to be done) and I'm needing some more cash flow/income. I've had a pretty decent 2003 with regards to "earning a living" doing this web design thing, but I sure hope 2004 continues moving forward so I can get out of debt and maybe even move out (or move out of the city completely). We will see. :)
Until next time... oh, and don't forget to buy "Rock for a Reason" if you haven't already. Really important cause, and pretty darn good music to boot!

BIRTHDAYS AND AIDS RELIEF...
Okay, so first off, my birthday's coming up in less than 2 weeks. This means I'm celebrating my birthday in less than 2 weeks. Actually, in about a week – Friday, December 12th. I'm just having people over to my place (a "party" if you will), so if you want any more details, just send me an e-mail or something. Should be a bunch of fun. Bring women.
Now onto other news... "Rock for a Reason", the new CD from Freq 107 to benefit AIDS relief in Africa, is coming out on December 10th and will only be available in A&B Sound stores! I made a banner for CanadaMovies.net to show our support for this CD and this cause, so click on it below to find out more. That's about it for today... just doing my usual Thursday CM updates.
