Stuff Your Face: Get to work.

So, a lot of things have happened in the month that I have neglected to update my never-viewed blog. I start to wonder why I even add anything here - it's only my ramblings. Why put them online? Wouldn't a short note saved on a computer (which I obviously have access to) work better?

No. No it would not.

So I had a happy turkey-day, although it was more of a wholesale slaughter of ham for me. I've always been a fan of pigs. This also explains the porkchops I had at Flemings, an upscale restaurant - they were delicious. Anyway, because of (or for some years, in spite of) the veritable flood of family I experienced, I had a great time. We also had celebrated my sister's birthday a few days earlier with some catered Mexican food, so on the whole, I feel thoroughly miserable as hell for eating more in a week than some African nations must consume in a month.

Aw well. Who cares about some distant group of people? The food is delicious.

Other more light-hearted news, I gave in to blatant consumerism and bought an Xbox 360, which cost slightly less in dollars than its name implies. Until you throw in some games, you know, so you can actually use the thing, or an extra controller, or Uncle Sam's take. But that's nonsense, I'm having fun now. Who cares how much money you must spend in order to stab some unsuspecting sap in the back?

That said, I also received some more serious news this Thanksgiving Break - evidently my brother is gay. I'm very proud to have a family that was so supportive of this that they bordered on the nonchalant - it was almost with a rude indifference that we declared, "Okay." But it's really not anything new to us - our grandfather was gay, as is one of our aunts. No big deal, I would say - for me, but for my brother, I can't really say how he feels about it all. I would be glad not to have a secret, but I would be fooling myself to say that discrimination isn't out there in our society.

Anyway, I'm supportive of him, I have no problem with it, I think it's actually cool because now I'll know who to ask about fashion advice. (Which would be horribly insensitive if it weren't so true - he has great style.)

All in all, an incredibly eventful and fun holiday. Back to the grind, because despite my subconscious wants me to think, I'm only writing this out because I would rather say all of this than actually get to work.
