the week of christmas
being that it is the week of christmas, I will be going to niagara falls to visit family and friends. My friends are also coming from other cities. I talked to a couple of them briefly and they all want to know, how i like buffalo, and how is it treating me. hmmm.....just fine. I will admit i have had some very interesting times hear that will for sure make them chuckle. Still jobless, thats kind of depressing. I will be in another world when i am there, because it is a different world. But all and all will be super fun. I am not really looking forward to christmas. I am more looking forward to it being over. I do on the other hand want to go to my aunts Kwanzaa celebration, I haven't been in a couple of years and i really would like to go now. I will also be seeing the new lord of the rings in theatre. There will be lots of fun had. There will be no: orgies, big monster peter weter's, parties, tons of drinking, one night stands, at all this week. None of it's planned anyway. I will run into ghosts, and i can't really say if it will be a bad thing or not. but anyway i wish you all happy holidays, which ever it is you celebrate, wish me luck and i will do the same for you. peace and love
