It's Over!

Thank God the holidays are over! I've been being so nice lately it's making me twitch. Some of my friends have been reading these posts and asking what the hell happened to the Brian they know and somewhat tolerate. Perhaps I was overtaken by the Christmas spirit, perhaps I wanted to spread some good will or maybe I was trying to get my wife to give me some wild holiday lovin'. Whatever the reason, my heart or my shoes, I stand here in January hating the Who's.

The holidays ended badly. I had to help a friend sign himself into rehab. Some people just can't handle their buzz. This will be an ongoing process, and I wish him nothing but the best, but I swear to God, after sitting with him in a padded room in the hospital for fifteen hours, all I wanted was a drink. Maybe I'll have one for him too.

What's with the people who take their decorations down the day after Christmas. What's the rush? Is the fake holiday spirit too much for them. God forbid you try to keep it going at least until the first week of the new year. Nothing says Happy New Year like all the discarded trees waiting to be picked up by the garbage men. There's always a few strands of tinsel still hanging from the branches, and dead needles all over the driveway. Joy to the world!

I feel better already. All the venom was building up and I was mistaking it for acid reflux. It is a new year, and while I wish everyone the best, let's be honest, there are a lot of idiots out there who are just waiting to piss you off. Happy New Year! Later...Brian
