Salus Populi Suprema est Lex

“The Welfare of the People is the Ultimate Law”
Monday I ventured out into the world, I should have took my kendo stick with me. I know that shopping areas are rife with confusion right before xmas. I forgot about the day after. I figured I’d go out and spend my $25 best buy card that I got at our office party (holiday bonus). People descended on that store like it was the apocolypse. Sale items were vanishing left and right. There was a line to get to the checkout line. Mothers were putting childrens toys back cause they didn’t want to wait. Dogs and Cats were living together…whoops, never mind. Any way you get the idea, it was hectic. I was actually hoping we might get a post-Xmas sale fight for our viewing pleasure, no such luck. I swear besides the there isn’t a Santa Claus (and my trauma as a result) that shopping is another reason to just have some dinner and skip the gift aspect of things. Oh…I already do. So now I present to you things people need:
1) Women…simply put. At least I do. They’re soft and smell nice, they usually care what happens to you and they’re fun for…various reasons.
2) Parties…a dinner party for 6, a house party, a dance til you sweat party. Large groups of people enjoying themselves.
3) Beer…that’s right even ancestors agree with me.
4) Sick Days…what would life be if we couldn’t roll over and decide not to go to work. If I couldn’t look at the alarm clock and say those beautiful words ” I just don’t feel like it.”
5) Holiday Dinners…I may not celebrate the days, but I live for the food. If I could work it out we would have at least one day a month where everyone got together and a multi-course meal went down. I’m going back to my momma’s house tonight to get another plate..and some cookies and pie.
6) Star Wars…I don’t care what you think, these movies opened my mind at a young age and helped me become who I am. I would be concerned about being teased, but I’ve benched like 284 and I know who to REALLY use a knife.
7) The Internet…Some may disagree, but for someone like me who loves to read it’s nice to know that any question on any bit of info is just a click away.
8) Music…It urges me to speed, relaxes me, makes me dance, sets any mood.
9) Spirit…Why we aren’t broken, why we rise from the ashes to be greater…though when an asshole has a strong spirit it can be bad for the rest of us.
10) Famo…if you can’t turn around and know someone supports you what’s the use. Who would I share jokes. Who would I say things too that would make other people run away. Don’t think strictly blood either…y’know the Whodini quote…”How many of us have them?”
thats a great list. I braved the shopping on the 26th but although I wanted to hit Best Buy for some sort of mp3 player I knew the lines were going to be crazy so I stayed away

Sick days rule. Now, if I can just find a way to score 250 of them…

I think floating holidays are right up there with sick days.

I’m really feeling 5 & 8. I cooked Christmas dinner for the fam this year and had enough leftovers to last me until yesterday. My sister put her foot in the dressing, but my candied yams? Orgasmic. I want a plate right now…shoot. Eat some for me when you get over your momma’s.

are you still sick? How come you haven’t posted about the New Year?
