the holiday season is here, and the big holiday that most of my people recognize is a few days away. on top of that, i will be turning 31 the day after that big holiday. am i excited? no. you know what i'm excited about? my new lens. i won $1000 and i bought a new lens with my winnings. unfortunately i won't be able to use or even look at the lens until i return from holland. it appears that the vendor i purchased it from is backed up because of holiday shipping. drat. what does i mean that i am more excited about a material object than a season of hope and goodwill to men. does it mean that i'm an asshole? does it mean that lenses are better than jesus ? i'll leave that up to you to decide.
i'm going out to dinner this evening. that should be good. we're going to have thai food. i get a little sick of having asian foods all the time, but everyone i know seems to love asian food. i like it a bunch, but i also love burgers. most of the time i would prefer a sweet ass burger to crispy fried noodles, but i feel that i ma in the minority. the good news is that i am not picky. i'll enjoy just about anything i eat as long as it doesn't taste like poo. it's kind of like being prepared for the worst. if you end up getting amazing food, that's great, but if it's less than stellar, there is little room for disappointment. does that make sense? i don't know if it does, but my point is that i enjoy eating, so i'm okay with the thai food that i don't really want.
i must go now.

best,
jim
