Things that Annoy the Crap Out of Me: Holiday Edition
1.) One employee working the cash register, eight employees "working the floor." You know who you are, Penn Square/Quail Springs Mall businesses.
2.) People beating the crap out of each other trying to get the new X-Box/Playstation/high tech new toy. Enough already. It's a TOY for crying out loud. It will be available next year. Or March or sometime.
3.) People who stand in front of businesses, then ACCOST you for a signature to some petition. No, I don't want the freedom to let your dog poop in my front yard. Leave me alone.
4.) Advertisements on TV implying that your kids will be ridiculed for life if they don't have every new toy they advertise. Or that your wife won't love you anymore if you don't buy her that $3500 necklace. Last I checked, Christmas was about the BIRTH of CHRIST, not the celebration of Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
5.) People who accuse bloggers/xangans of not having a life. Especially those who have blogs of their own, take the time to READ other people's blogs enough to have a working knowledge of their life, and comment crap on blogs. This has happened not to me but to a couple of my friends. I am annoyed vicariously on behalf of my friends.
6.) When people bring inappropriate gifts to clean White Elephant parties. I can't count how many times someone has brought a set of handcuffs to a party as a White Elephant gift. Or a mothball sweater that smells of eau de 1963. Or a pile of plastic crap. It's not amusing.
7.) Obvious one-upmanship on gift-giving. "You just gave your boyfriend a sweater? Well, I gave mine a Pentium, a diamond ring, and a yearlong subscription to NetFlix!" How nice for you. Unfortunately, not all of us can afford that.

Enlightenment
“ Ilchi Lee talks about enlightenment. Enlightenment is the education that results in understanding and the spread of knowledge. The enlightenment Ilchi Lee speaks of is not something extraordinary. Creating health, happiness, and peace is what Ilchi Lee calls enlightenment; it is creating a desirable environment rather than being controlled by it. When you internalize that the brain is not you but yours, you will finally be able to experience such awakenings in your life.” –SRV Danh Yoga also helps with enlightenment!
