I'll Have a Bleue, Blanche, and Rouge Christmas

I know that many of you have spent many a sleepless nite wondering how Free will spend xmas. Well to me it is a day just like any other day. I don't celebrate christmas, but at the same time I don't stop others from doing so. Regardless it brings things to mind, such as... do the people who want to have the pledge of allegiance changed to remove the words "under god" reimburse the companies they work for if they get paid for having christmas off? How come so many people say "I cant wait for it to be over" before it even gets here? Why do those same people talk about getting back to the true meaning of christmas when they don't even know its true origin? Why cant I find the off switch in my head? Why did/does she think only about herself?

But enough of that. So yesterday on my way to work I stopped off at The Grapevine here in Pocatello. Knowing that everything would be closed today I picked up a hand picked six pack of Chimay Premiere, Cinq Cents, and Grand Reserve. I only pulled out one last nite to give to a guy sitting in the lobby. I don't think he liked it, but its the thought that counts. I must make a confession at this point. I am the one responsible for the christmas tree being taken out of the lobby and set outside. Is there one person that can honestly say that it doesn't look better out in the snow and cold than it did in the semi sterile environment of the lobby?

I do get side tracked a lot, but I've met a lot of people who never stray. I guess thats why Oprah is a mega star. Think about this, she is the one who brought us dr phil, now shes backing obama who danced like a frat boy on e with ellen degenerate. Then there are all these other celebrities who back a politician. Why should we trust their opinions? Because every four years they vote their current spouse out of office and pick a new one? The voice of experience? Well I don't vote, and before you start pissin and moanin about my pissin and moanin there are two reasons. I wont get into detail about them now, but one is because in ' 88 I was denied the right to vote, and no I am not a convicted felon.

So hopping onto another topic I am watching a Bela Fleck dvd. Play that funky oboe white boy. Some of you may have read the Bela Fleck Saga on my previous post, but the one thing I didn't mention was something about Victor Wooten. The Sunday of the show in Manchester I took a walk downtown and saw Vctor about 50 feet in front of me. I was going to go up and talk to him when a homeless person hit him up for spare change. I'm sure the guy had no idea who he was. Victor reached into his fanny pack and gave the guy whatever he did. At that point I realized I couldn't approach him and ruin this good moment. Thats a man that ranks up there with Tom Skeritt. I'll tell you why later.

If you're doing christmas enjoy it. If not enjoy it even more. Either way be safe and not necessarily sane.

Oh yeah, as for what I did for christmas, drank beer and ate chocolate. If you think thats a bad combination you're drinking the wrong beer and eating the wrong chocolate!
