Christmas time...

Ok... I hope that this post will not suck quite as much as that last POS post...
So in this post I hope to discuss how the holiday "pressure" is getting to everyone (but mainly dad...)
Who to start with...
Matthew... He believes in the whole gift giving thing and likes his gifts to be remembered, and the only gifts anybody wants are the expensive ones so he ends up buying very expensive things for everybody and going far into debt...
Me... I don't think anybody has noticed a difference in my behavior as the hasn't been much of one... I believe that the only thing different I do is change tasks more often... I guess you could call it nervousness... I stay on one task for a very short time, then go juggle or do some other task that takes one minute and then hurry up and finish with that only to move on to a similar task equally pointless...
Dad... In general when we are not at his house I believe he lives like a pig, leaving everything out and dirty things everywhere... But a few days after we show up here he sometimes gets very concerned about how dirty it is in here... So he will clean all day long and then be secretly mad at us for having not cleaned it ourselves... I only realized this the today when he (during our game of cards) burst out about how nobody helps him clean up, and he went on and on about the things he does around the house. (but to be fair, all his claims are accurate, he does do all the work around here, but as stated in an earlier post (probably the best blog entry I have done) his claims are a bit generalized) His recent eruption my not be due to Christmas at all... It seams likely that us being here for a longer than usual period of time has confused him... However, I believe mom is coming over here for Christmas and he does act very different before such events...
Win... Continues to stare at his Mac all day long...
Phillip and Lisa (generalized together) have changed very little... Or in hard to notice ways...
Mom... Because we have been at dad's house for an unusually long time I have not seen mom in a very long time and do not know what she is doing / doing differently...
So... I think this one turned out better than the last one...

Money... &&, ll my beliefs about it...

After reading through this I feel it sucks... Really if you have anything better to do please go do it... This is a waste to read... I only state very obvious things that a duck could pick up on...
Ok... Because this post my actually be looked at by people it is especially subject to the disclaimer. And in this case it is subject to the new "SUPER DISCLAIMER" which basically says the same stuff as the first one did and it adds a clause saying, "Nothing posted anywhere in / on this blog should be taken even close to what it says... i.e. If I were to say, "My computer crashed" then you (the reader) should take it as, "Santa bought a house." So basically what should do is read the words, then erase them in your mind and put in new words that have absolutely nothing to do with anything... Such as I did in the example above... So if following instructions by the time you are done reading this you should be an expert in the thermonuclear dynamics of toast. With that said...

So first off lets talk about the easy stuff, money is the thing that (I feel) everybody wants for Christmas but nobody can ever get... That said I am looking forward to some of the non-money gifts that I have heard I am getting but we will get there later...
So... My opinions about how everybody spends money...
Chayin is of the "whatever" belief, he is very lose with money (which I am not saying is a bad thing for him.)
Mom likes to spend all the money she can, mostly on food...
Dad is very conservative with money (big surprise) which is how I have modeled my views on money...
Matthew like to spend vast sums of money...
Lisa does not waste money and I believe spends it in the correct areas...
Phillip does not waste money either but is more charitable...

except Phillip has recently accused me of stealing lots of money from him over the years... (which if you are still reading this (big shock) is the reason I wrote it) He accused me of stealing his "money sock" a sock he used to put all his money in... A long time ago... Also for a while he made up the "$20 thief" who would randomly take $20 from his wallet... Of course he could never tell us how much money he had in there before... He would just open it and say that there was a twenty missing... The number of twenties wouldn't stay consistent either... If he lost one and then counted the money in it the number would change drastically the next day...
Then what sent me over the edge (causing me to write this (so far) piece of crap) is he told me that he had already paid for half of mom's Christmas present... And when I quoted him about him not having the right amount he went into the Phillip defense mechanism... Raise voice and ramble...
Well that was a waste of time for the both of us (you the reader (sorry) and me the person that may or may not have written this... Me... l8r...
