What are you guys hoping to get for christmas? I really want someone to finish paying for a guitar I’ve been making payments on, but that’s probably not going to happen. I’ll probably get a bag of weed from my girlfriend.
What do you want?
Philosophy books in my native tongue…and i guess, possibly, a “life”.
What’s your native tounge?
It’s Albanian, and unfortunately, I can’t find any philosophy books that have been translated in it. What’s even more unfortunate is that I understand philosophy best when it is written in Albanian. It could be that I grasp concepts better in Albanian because I grew up speaking it, but I think it’s got to do with the language itself. It’s ancient and thus precise, unlike English, and the sentence structures are just…well fucking awesome (in comparison to English off course).
Maybe Santa will bring you one.
Another book by Nafeez Ahmed would be nice. Maybe some expensive chocolate.
I thought I was weird for asking my girlfriend to buy me a book. Apparently it’s a common thing. I feel better now.
She’s not that into philosophy, so when I told her I wanted this…
amazon.com/Lewisian-Themes-P … 0199274568 she seemed confused.
She and her roommate both work at a store which sells imported goods from around the world, so I get lots of good chocolate and candy and wine all the time. I feel very spoiled in that respect.
I want to live and be young for as long as intelligent life exists… after that I figure i’d get bored on my own… so… temporary immortality/youth… that’d be nice… I’m wishing for that this year…
next year it’ll be a million billion bucks… and a pack of smokes…
I’m about 95% sure I’m gonna get a knife for Xmas. That’s cool with me, but it’ll probably be one that I won’t have much use for. My Dad is a knife-nut, and so am I, I guess. But as a chef I’m into kitchen cutlerly while my Dad is into hunting/fishing/combat knives. Given my druthers I’d like a new Shun Elite or Hattori HD (or something like a Hattori KD, although that’s not realistic). I’m not easy to buy for in a way, in some ways very easy. For instance, I love music, but my family would have no clue what to buy. On the other hand, any good quality kitchen gear would be welcomed.
I don’t really care much either way. I’m an atheist, but I still occasionally enjoy the holiday. Some years I give or recieve nothing, we just skip it. Other years we go all out. I have a strange family.
I told the people who I thought might get me something, not to. And I will not be getting anybody anything. How very scrooge like me, yes . . . but I hate the pressure of trying to please others with products and I hate not feeling all that geniune when I thank those same people for gift card money.
I mean, I’m thankful, but sometimes the feeling doesn’t match my appreciative words. It’s a big problem for me.
Xbox 360 with Oblivion, Mass Effect, Halo 3 and Assassin´s Creed
Juicy ounce of skunk (with some Zig-Zags)
Pair of Technics MK5 SL1210s
Couple of porn DVDs
PC
… and I´m well away
My hearse cherried but, that ain’t going to happen yet. I will settle for a nice 12 pack of beer, two full packs of smokes with a working lighter, a river full of pan sized fish just itchin to taste earth worm spiced with a sharp barbed weedless hook, a comfy tree to lean up against while I watch my line float down river and possibly a good light Sci fi to while away the off moments of a lazy quiet day.
I ask for books every year, but it turns out I have better taste than all my relatives and friends combined, so I’m better off asking for money which I then convert into books in the january sales.
Only two more days until the presents!! At least one good thing comes out of religion. Presents. MMMM…
And colored eggs containing candy.
And things to laugh at.
I wonder why we don’t celebrate the day that people die? I mean, birthday celebrations seem to be the norm, but what if it’s someone you hate? Or someone who represents something that against your culture? I could see how some people in the world might want to celebrate Jesus’ death.
Easter is just confusing. How on earth do we get from Jesus being resurected to rabbits and eggs?
Amen to that.
Personally, I just want $$
I changed my mind. I want my dad to wake up from the emergency brain surgery that left him with only half a skull and possibly brain dead yesterday. Fuck books.
In all honesty I want entrance into the course for H2S Alive Confined Spaces (about $150)
Is that real? 
I hope he does too: that’s some heavy shit…
