Opening a Box
Whether I get much use out of this place or not will depend highly on the people who read it. I intend to talk about games, Japanese, computers, programming, and a plethora of geeky stuff. Gods know I'm not the best gamer, the most fluent Japanese speaker, a case modder, or even a decent programmer, but I have an interest in such things.
This "Box" so to speak will vary its contents from time to time, and we shall see how it goes. That being said, let's start with a generic Christmas rant.
DISCLAIMER! I celebrate Christmas. It's just the way I was raised. Happy Channukah, Kwanzaa, and other holidays whose spellings I will likely slaughter. Isn't there an Islamic holiday around now, too? Or do you guys get a break after Ramadan? Thanks in advance to anyone who can let me know.
Yesterday was December 1st, and as such, was the first day I wouldn't simply destroy any radio playing a Christmas song on sheer principle. I can only hope that somewhere, somehow, the same people who schedule such music to played in early November have their alarm clocks mysteriously set two hours back. A lot of people would agree, I think, that the Christmas decorations seem to go up earlier and earlier each year. Or, perhaps, it just seems that way because I get less and less excited about the holiday each year.
To me, Christmas has always been about the presents. Those mysterious, multicolored boxes each held a secret, willing to divulge it only after the whole family was up and had eaten breakfast. The past couple of years have yielded decent presents, and I'm thankful for that. This year, in case any of you are curious, my wishlist is topped by three things: A new airsoft pistol, a bluetooth headset, and a new battery for this laptop. Chances are that I may get Painter X, which is a fabulous program for painting and such.
So, that about wraps it up for the first post. I hope you have found it enjoyable and angst-free.
Cheers,
Komaru
