"The Real Reason For the Season"

Most of the people I hang out with aren't really too religious and I know alot of them overtly make fun of religion. The thing is the religous aspect of Christmas is probably where my feelings lie on the subject rather than the commercial/Santa aspect of Christmas. Sometime a long time ago I made a consious decision that my gifts had to be thoughtful. They had to mean something to the person I was giving them too. I just see too much of people giving gift because "its a christmas gift". I was in JC penney last week and there was a section of "Christmas Gifts". You know, the back massagers and stuff that they only pull out when you are looking for that "special" gift. Its the stuff thats in the store all year but is featured prominently when christmas rolls around. You know it's a "Christmas gift" when Walgreens and Rite Aid have displays of them as well. I just wish people would put more thought into gifts.

My friend Pete bought me this:


which was actually very thoughtful because of this dream I had earlier this year in which Pete and I were featured in a band together called "Rick Rude" that kind of stuff really means something to me.


I guess what I'm most thankful for on Christmas is the fact that one of my best friends invites me over for Christmas every year and he lets me enjoy Christmas with his family. wWe've been doing it for the last few years and it is a great way for me to celebrate the season since I don't have any family in the area and it's impossible for me to go "home" for the Holidays.

HYPERION BLAST

My war you're one of them
You say that you're my friend
But you're one of them

You don't want to see me live
You don't want me to give
'cause you're one of them

My war you're one of them
You say that you're my friend
But you're one of them

I might not know what a friend is
All I know is what you're not
'cause you're one of them

My war you're one of them
You say that you're my friend
But you're one of them

I have a prediction, it lives in my brain
It's with me every day, it drives me insane
I feel it in my heart, that if I has a gun
I feel it in my heart, I'd wanna kill some
I feel it in my heart, the end will come
Come on!!

My war you're one of them
You say that you're my friend
But you're one of them

Tell me that I'm wrong
Try to sing me your ego song
You're one of them

My war you're one of them
You say that you're my friend
But you're one of them

My war.

WWE Armageddon

So Sunday night my wrestling crew and I set out to go see WWE Armageddon at the HSBC arena in Buffalo.

We made the signs and held them up in true the WWE tradition. I got a little bit crazy yelled at wrestlers and had a good old time. The only downside was seeing Jeff "The Extreme Enigma" Hardy win the WWE Championship.

WWE Armageddon Sunday

If all goes well I will be carrying these sweet signs into WWE Armageddon On Sunday.

Its 1AM forever

SO I just had this weird dream. In the dream I was hanging out with a long time friend of mine and we were having a movie night. We were watching that movie "Wall-E" . My friend turns to me and asks me if I would have a baby with someone that I wasn't married to. I told her, "Isn't that what everyone does?". So we discussed it a little bit more and I came to the conclusion that I would as along as I was in a comitted relationship with them. The conversation then got a little bit weirder. What she meant was would I have a baby with her. Basically she told me that felt like she wasn't going to have anymore meaningful relationships in her life and that she felt that she wanted to have a baby. She told me that that she liked me and I was attractive and that I would probably be a good person to have a baby with. She thought that we would make a good looking baby. I might be inclined to agree with that because she's pretty good looking herself. So I've been up for the last little while thinking about this situation.

Would I want to father a baby for someone that I wasn't in a relationship with? On Purpose? I mean plenty of people have babies like that but it's usually not by choice. Who knows what she really meant though.

I don't think that I could do that. I would want to be in a real relationship with someone I was going to have a baby with. I know I couldn't do that. When I see happy couple come into my work with their little babies I have to admit I can get a bit jealous. Not that I necessarily want to have a child with someone. It's hardly a deal breaker for me but I think i would be a more positibve thing than a negative thing for me. I think the abilty to give life to someone and to raise them is one of the greatest things in life. The ability to guide someones path in life and to leave a legacy is one of the greatest components of life. I think alot of people that are in that phase really take it for granted and don't understand the gravity of it.

It was all a dream anyway.

Satisfying

There is something really satisfying about owning your own domain. Not a house, I've owned one of those, nut something which is costing me less than a dollar a month.

HMNIPHOTO.COM

and

HMNIPHOTOGRAPHY.COM

This past weekend I bought those two domains and it's pretty cool. I don't kow why I didn't do it before.

I even have a cool email. mark@hmniphoto.com

Life is good....You know what they say about the simple things in life.
