Starting the year with a bang!

And by "bang", I mean the word FUCK! It will be used repeatedly in this entry, so if anyone who reads this is offended by the word "fuck", please stop reading now! :-)

I'm so tired of living around FUCKING MORONS! I've decided my New Year's Resolution for 2006 is to utter the phrase "Many of my neighbors are fucking morons" at least once a day. The morons across the hall and the morons directly below us seem to be having a contest as to who can make the most noise and piss off the most neighbors. The morons downstairs started in on Wednesday. The morons across the hall started yesterday. However, in spite of their late start, the morons across the hall are winning by a landslide! Why they feel they need to play their music so fucking loud is beyond me. We can hear it in the bedroom for God's sake. Turn it the fuck down! The condo manager still hasn't sent the letter out about noise pollution and fines. I was hoping she'd be a little better than our last condo manager. Well, I guess she is since the fucking morons across the hall have on the whole quieted down. If their loud music continues past today though, you can bet your sweet bippie I'm going to bitch about it again; and whatever the hell that noise is that's coming from the dude downstairs. I think it's a video game, but I can't tell for sure. Sure as hell don't appreciate hearing it at 11:30 on a work night though.

Okay, I think for the moment I'm done with the word "fuck". But I'm not sure.

I had a revelation the week before Christmas. And remember where you heard it first! *Disclaimer - if anyone steals this revelation from me without asking, you'll be dealing with my minions! And trust me, that won't be fun!*

Okay, now as I share this revelation, you must, I repeat, you must picture me jumping up and down on a couch with a semi-psychotic look in my eyes. Are you ready?

Are you sure you're ready?

Okay, but prepare to be completely horrified...

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' unborn child is the ANTICHRIST!

Of course I have no proof to back up this claim. I only have chills and waves of nausea everytime I think about it. And that's enough, dammit!

IT'S THE ANTICHRIST!!!

Now if they have a boy and name him Damien, well then, that'll solidify everything.

I hope everyone had a truly wonderful Christmas/Hanukkah/Whatever You Celebrate. I don't understand why we can't just wish those who celebrate Christmas a "Merry Christmas" and those who celebrate Hanukkah a "Happy Hanukkah". This "Happy Holidays" stuff gets annoying. Well, actually, if you don't know what a person celebrates, then "Happy Holidays" is perfectly fine. But if you do know what a person celebrates, then just wish them a Happy/Merry whatever! For several years I worked in an office dominated by Jewish men and women, and none of us had any problem at all showing respect for the others holidays. It was utopia, I tell you! Well, in showing respect for religious holidays, at least.

Ranting and raving aside, I really do love Christmas and the Christmas Spirit. Most people are a little less obnoxious and rude. It's just a magical time of year. And I love being able to spend time with family. We took a few pictures over our extended Christmas weekend that I'd like to share...

My sister's dog passed out after playing with all the toys he got for Christmas.

The next (and last) picture needs a disclaimer - *If this picture is taken and used anywhere without a link to me or without my permission, you will again have to deal with my minions. Oh will there be pain and suffering.* Actually this is true of any picture I post.

Okay, this isn't a Christmas picture per se, but it was taken this past Tuesday morning as we headed home after a wonderful Christmas visit with my family. The Man and I laughed our asses off when we saw this.


Happy New Year!
