FUCK CHRISTMAS

Fuck Christmas
fuck the crowds
fuck the noise
fuck it all
commercial crap
lights and noise
distracting and annoying
I can feel my braincells dieing
the mall is the wasteland of common sense
but here I am on unrelated business
all my shopping is done
and yet, here I am at the mall
waiting for photos for business cards
I didn't have much of a choice
It needed to be done, and done now
unfortunately for me it just so happens to coincide with the holiday shopping season
and so I am surrounded by screaming children and braindead adults
so to burn time I sit here on a bench in the mall
waiting for my photos to be done
I figure at least I can get a little writing done
didn't have anything in mind
just happened to have my laptop with me
so I busted it out and began typing
and what was my first thought
sitting here on a bench in the mall during the holiday shopping season?
That's right
Fuck Christmas!!
