Going Backwards
So I had some stuff to do for work. I decided to come into the office, knock it out, hop a bus and see the rents in time for easter.
Easter is a weird time for me. It’s sort of how like Chandler in that one episode of friends when he had a beef with thanksgiving.
My major events in no particular order are -
- My great grandmother was born on easter sunday. My family however didn’t get the exact date, so we just used easter to celebrate it.
- After being stuck in the Poconos for months, my parents, brother and I were going to see my uncle Joey and aunt Mella. My brother threw a temper tantrum for some reason, which triggered one in my dad, he decided to scrub the whole operation. Then grounded me because Steven could do no wrong.
- We didn’t even get out of the driveway
- A girlfriend broke up with me a few days before easter (if you must know, it was the one mentioned in the previous post). I went to my grandfather’s house that Sunday, when they asked about her where-a-bouts I told her she dumped me. They began to laugh. I told them no I’m serious and she really hurt my feelings.
- They laughed even harder.
- I get yelled at every year by my grandfather’s wife at easter. She wants me to take the chairs up and down from the basement, her sons are in-capable because one is a little too bi-polar, and other is too fem. It would be nice if she didn’t greet me with “get the chairs, and we spent your inheritance on getting bi-polar out of jail.”
- During the rough patch of 2005, I had to move in with the uncle on easter. I was yelled at for a solid few hours about the toilet seat being up, setting up my PC so I can find work, napping when everything was in place. Eventually I just phased out, and wondered what neighborhood Peter Parker is from?
So I’m a little weary of Easter.
I thought it was looking a little up because I had a bachelor party to attend last night. It was the first time in a long time I had a wild guy-centric night. I had a good time.
I arrive home, smokes are hidden, teeth are brushed, hair is clean (albeit long), fresh shaved, and gut sucked in. Because these are the major things my parents look for in my visits.
After kissing my mom hello, she smacks me upside the head.
“What the fuck was that for!”
Whap
“That last one is for cursing!”
“And the first one?”
“For smelling like overpriced beer, and cheap floozy!”
How does she know?!?!

And it’s about that time
I got paid, I’m not going home for christmas. First comes the moping, then the drinking. Or is it drinking then moping?
Anyway, time for the best christmas song ever.

Home Again Jiggity Jig
So my dad now loves firearms, and is planning to murder woodland creatures.
The kitchen is ripped up into pieces.
My brother is now discussing his sexual exploits with his wife (in front of mom)
They’re all convinced I’m an alcoholic.
I’m debating on bringing heroquest back to NYC to see if I can get anyone to play with me.
I received a txt from Iceland, an email from the downunder.
I have Deadbeat Holiday from Green Day in my head.
Happy Thanksgiving all!

Maybe it’s not all bad
Yeah I still hate christmas. I fucking loathe it. But I’m a closet optimist. So I tried to look for one story, JUST ONE to prove me wrong how it’s not all about greed and the mass homicide of trees. So I found it,
Man gives $35,000 to Denver homeless
DENVER, Colorado (AP) — Residents of Samaritan House didn’t know what to expect when the bearded, middle-aged man parked his sport utility vehicle in front of the downtown homeless shelter Christmas Eve…
Possibly the man’s biggest single donation was $5,000 to a family of six to find housing. Louis Quezada, Tessa Wittner and their four children had been living with Quezada’s parents but were thrown out after an argument. They had been in the shelter several days.
“He asked if he gave us the money, would we get a house with it,” said Quezeda, 23. “We said yes.”
Ok so that’s one good thing out of a holiday filled with violence, anger and greed. But if he was never homeless would he have done the same thing? Probably not, but he did do a good thing regardless.
Good going bearded stranger, seriously.

Another typical Saturday Night
Being a grinch…
Me : Yeah it’s beautiful, but it’s a fading beauty. Not unlike a woman in her first stages of cancer. It’s been here and it seen people come and go. This tree was here for centuries, and it would have been here for centuries more.
SiHeadCase : Oh can’t you enjoy it.
Me : You look at this tree and see hope, a better future, and the good spirit of man kind. This tree knows the true spirit of man, we need to kill something so we can celebrate. Each pine needle that turns brown and falls off will be blown away and forgotten, like tears in the ocean. When the holidays are finally over we are going to send it to the wood chipper, it would have died so tourists can ooh and ah over. You aren’t looking at something beautiful you are looking at a public execution.
SiHeadCase : You know Milo for once, JUST FOR ONCE I would like you to look at something at it’s face value. I would like you not to be morbid, not to look in the evil in men’s hearts, not to ruin the one season that people are actually nice to each other.
Tourist : HEY MOVE YOUR FAT HEAD MY KID WANTS A PICTURE OF THE TREE!!!
SiHeadCase : GO TO HELL! (Turns to me) Shut up Milo. But you know, I know it’s always a depressing time of year for you. Especially now being single, not having a job, and living in a rat infested basement apartment. But seriously if you open your heart to what Christmas means to people maybe you can find some satisfaction in it. But look at this tree and think of when you were a kid, and praying that you fooled Santa that you were good. Tell me if that doesn’t warm your heart a little.
Me : Dad told me he shot Santa down in ‘nam, he was pissed about the Buck Rodgers gun that the fatman screwed him out of.
SiHeadCase : Oh… You’re kidding right?
Johnny D : No he’s not.
Me : That year we had venison for christmas dinner.

Be Merry Asshole!!
Lisa d aussie two years ago told me that, she was 10,000 miles away from home. Her family and friends who were trapped upside down, and in a different day. She handled it beautifully with a smile and cherriness. I always admired her strength.
But her ass is gone so I’m allowed to be as big of an asshole I want this season, and rest assured I will.
Christmas is pointless and depressing, it’s a season of greed and retarded tourists. There is no coincedence that most suicides in the city are around this time, for every news report that talks of great deeds done in the name of the season there is twenty more apartments that were set on fire because of christmas trees.
I hate this season, I hate celebrating it, I hate every damn song and movie made for it. Everything you think of this season is a lie as hollow as a cosplayer’s head, and as shallow as a craigslist w4m post. So to celebrate my lack of enthusism I created (albiet short) radiostation for you guys.
simply click on the radiostation link over there - >
So there you are, christmas sucks. Don’t celebrate, and don’t get christmas trees, they are a killer.
