Cuz santa wack ass ain't brang me shit!
But I am not mad at all... I really can't rock with Giftmas anyway, for many spiritual, historical and logical reasons that I'd rather not get into. I am however glad to be reminded of the love that can be shared between people when they are united for a greater good. This time the greater good is the "christmas spirit." This spirit motivates people to perform random acts of kindness and be more giving and charitable and for that I sho' ain't mad. I am a Kwanzaa enthusiast, and proud participant and I look forward to lighting my first candle tomorrow and recommitting myself to those 7 principles!
None the less... I had a fun time with my family in Carol City laughing and eating and drinking! Auntie made me some greenz without the swine and I was feelin' fine. I really try to make sure that in my own home we don't get caught up in the commercialism and materialistic focus of most Americans during the holiday season. I am a year round shopper so I don't really have to go crazy in December to fulfill some gingerbread laced daydream of sugar plums and shit. It has to be about balance if there is going to be any progress. Looking at those people in the malls scrambling to get gifts, I'm saddened slightly because they will be the subject on CNN next month when they report the foreclosure numbers. And honey I am not tryinah be in that number! If you are a christian than celebrate the "birthday" of your saviour and hopefully that involves paying your bills this month...
aiight ya'll... I'm gonna holla atchu 2moro...
and that's what it is...
