Christmas mood

Imagine this dark grungy place in the open. Face to face with the opponent, your biggest enemy to defend your kingdom. You are standing there, breathing heavily underneath your iron armour. With a loud scream you start running, swaying the long and sharp sword you are torching. Chopping of the arms and legs of everyone who comes near you. Blood gushing everywhere…

Now does this sound like a sequel of Braveheart starring Mel Gibson? Change the armour into shopping bags, the grungy place into a shop and the kingdom to Christmas gift and you know how Christmas shopping looks like. The fun loving Christmas spirit everyone adores so much. I still don’t get the charm of it after all these years…

Monday I had to get to Antwerp town to get some stuff done and I spend more than 3 hours at the MoneyGram office. Seems like everyone wanted to send or receive money to/from relatives. It was bloody hot inside the tiny office that was way too crowded. I had some laughter though! First there was this too cute kid with curly hair that was constantly kicking the door, future topscorer to be no doubt about that. Then there was this guy who thought he was Snoop Doggy Dogg. For real, he was wearing this white fur jacket with a purple suit, crocodile leather shoes and his hair straightened. Ah I love this multicultural town!

Talking about being smart, I don’t understand these writers slash journalists slash professors. We need to read this article for our exam and it is 500 plus pages. Now see I don’t call this an article anymore. This is what I call a big fat m*th*rf*ck*ng book! 500 pages isn’t an article anymore man! Be reasonable.

Anyway, my chocolate pudding is waiting on me in the fridge.
