December 24, 2001 Well, again, it tooke me a long time to write something new; I'm sorry. I may have to change this to "Rambling of the Month," if I'm not more diligent. I'll try to be. But, I always say that.
I'm a little bit more somber, as of just a few minutes ago. I mean, it's almost Christmas and all, and I've been in a pretty good mood ever since school got out 6 days ago. I was able to see "Lord of the Rings" on premiere, which was awesome, although I must apologize to Jake and Christine for not being able to see it with them. I was able to go skiing on Saturday; and although I've even had a pretty nasty cold, I've kept in good spirits. But just a few minutes ago I logged on to the internet with the intent on writing a holiday Rambling; and, just for kicks, I checked my message board. And lo and behold, what did I see: some really nasty comments, that's what.
I won't repeat them here, and I've taken the liberty of deleting the things; but someone (and I know that the 4 or 5 postings were made by one person) decided to flame me and one of my friends pretty heavily. I can take critiscm pretty well, in fact, I welcome it; but blatent profanity and inane remarks are just plain insulting to me and to all those that come to my site. Look, whoever you are, if you have a problem with me, then contact me directly; either by e-mail, or, if you know me in person, come and talk to me; but I will not stand for you insulting one of my friends so grossly and injustly.
Ok, that's enough of that. I realize that I could spend an inordinate amount of time flaming that person; but, for one, I don't even know him/her, and two, I believe that I'm above that. Plus, after all, it's Christmas. And I, for one, want to spread the holiday spirit. So, I apologize to all those people who had to see those messages, and thanks for putting up with my rant. Everyone have a happy Christmas! And I'll see you next year!
You may notice that the "Picture of the Week" feature is missing. And you would be correct. I have found that I am too lazy to put so much effort into constantly uploading pictures. And, for this I apologize. Oh well, maybe, one day, when I have time, I continue this feature. . .but this is not the day.
