here it is the holiday seasonwhen that sweet old aunt of yours wants to buy a chicken for a family in nicaragua
or when that smelly old second cousin wants to have a mass said in your favor
personally... if you want to give a gift to me
MAKE IT FIT!
ask them to give a gift in your favor for a charity that represents your interests
WABA
IMBA
MORE
I have nothing against feeding the poor
in fact I am very supportive of such causes
but if your gift is for me and with me in mind maybe you could support a cause that speaks me
if you do not want to donate to the listed causes above there are many others that would work internationally or would be directed towards the poor or less privileged
trips for kids
bikes for the world
as for the mass said in my honor...
well, that is a different story
I believe in the power of positive thinking
yet I am cynical enough to think that that money going to the church is going towards the AC bill or the pastor's next carton of cigarettes
just a thought now that I have pissed some people off I am going to get back to work
