Hey all, I've been on here for ages, i don't remember when i joined, but haven't gotten the courage to write anything. I'm quite tired from Christmas, it's one of the worst times of the year, people are horribly crude, vicious, rude for the spirit of giving. If everyone made someone something, instead of buying presents, it'd be so much more meaningful. The cost idea of christmas has been embedded in the minds of everyone, and parents encourage it on their children. Christmas has now become, "what would _____ need, that we could get him any other time of the year" instead of "what would ______ love and remember as something meaningful and thoughtfilled". Today, I got the most meaningful present from a stranger. This woman came into my work and asked for a cd, and we didn't have it. she was from out of town and said "i'll have to come back during christmas and bring it to you, you might like it". i took it as one of those polite gestures that someone wouldn't follow through on. Today, she came in and gave me Mary Margaret O'Hara (sister of Catherine O'Hara from SCTV) both are brilliant. I also got Lucious Jackson, Drugstore and Tori Amos. I just became a recent b&s fan last june. i found out about them through my neighbour, who has now moved away. He gave me TBWTAS and i fell in love. I hope someday they come to canada to play, i don't know if it'll ever happen, so i might just have to move to see them. well, thank you for your patience, everyone have a wonderful holidays, whatever you may believe in. cheers Ian __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
