Merry Christmas - Are you on the down low?

So I went to my cousins house for Christmas dinner yesterday. To my dismay, my aunt (his mom) was there. She's the one who is always trying to hook me up with women and just doesn't know when enough is enough. Anyway, it's Christmas. It's supposed to be a happy, mellow time with family. We watched Miami beat the lakers. We watched the Cowboys lose, so all is well. Until dinner. My cousin's fiance was there, so I guess this sparked a light bulb in his moms head. She began her crap again.

"So, who is the special woman in your life?" "Why don't you have a girlfriend?"

"I haven't seen you with anyone since you left that China girl." (She refers to my ex-girlfriend who is Filipina as a China girl, even though she knows her name and knows she's not Chinese - Yup, she's a bigot as well)

"I know plenty educated black girls that would love to be with you." (Just what I need, a career woman!)

"I gotta ask you son, are you gay? You're not on the downlow are you?"

At this point and time, it doesn't even anger me anymore. She's way too predictable. She says the same thing everytime verbatim. I thought maybe at Christmas, she could be a rational human being and not verbally assault me. I thought wrong. It has no effect really, as I rarely see her, maybe 3 or 4 times a year. She tells me she's asking because she cares about me. Nothing says Christmas like asking your nephew if he's a homosexual over dinner.

The Christmas Party

Yup. it's that time of year, it's time for the annual ass kissing...errr...excuse me, the company Christmas party. These company parties are the most bizarre and awkward functions because for the most part, people don't kow how to conduct themselves. Oh, they think they are doing a great job, but it truly is pathetic. The entire point of a party is to have a good time with people you like. But, the corporate climate is so strained that no one even dances, and if they do, they dance a good 6 inches or more apart because they don't want to "brush up" against each other and have the other person get the wrong message. Why even bother going to a party at all? Nothing says a good time like sexual harassment in the back of your mind.

Most of the people who actually still go to the Christmas parties are new hires, management, admin people and people who want free drinks. New hires go because they use it as an opportunity to let people see their faces and network with management. Basically, a giant dose of brown nosing and ass kissing. I never did that, and I never will, it's very obvious and I have dignity. Management shows up because if they didn't, then nobody would, and they usually give their nonsensical speech about us being a team etc. Admin people show up, because what the fuck else do they have to do? They like to feel important and like to think that they are an asset to the company, so anything company related, they jump in head first. Last but not least are the people that just go for drinks. Most of them are alright, they get their drinks and some grub and leave, but every year, there is always that person, usually a female too. That person that couldn't handle their liquor. That person that drinks too much, and completely embarasses themselves in front of everyone. Never fails. There is always a story about it, the next work day.

Me, i'll be playing Gears of War and Call of Duty 3. Evening well spent.

Double the pleasure, double the fun

Full story here

More women behaving badly. I got top dollar that one of them will breakdown and say that a man molested her when she was younger in an attempt to absolve herself of any responsibilty, and she will do it because it will work.

Stupid Commercials

I was watching football earlier today, and I couldn't help but notice all the annoying commercials, all essentially saying the same thing, BUY YOUR WOMAN ALOT OF EXPENSIVE SHIT. Look, the entire point of commercials is to peddle your product to the target demographic i.e. your audience. Are these advertisers stupid? They're not even selling a product, they are selling you the idea of gift giving. How thoughtful of them.

Here are the commercials I saw

1. Commercial for Lexus. Out in the driveway is a Lexus RX series SUV, with a red bowtie on it. 2 women scuttle outside and assume it's for them. One declares she knows it's for her because it's her favorite color. The other one thinks it's hers because she wanted something shiny for christmas.

2. Another Lexus commercial. Hubby blindfolds his wife and take her outside. in the driveway is a brand spanking new Lexus LS (Base price is well over 60 grand, fully loaded can surpass 80 grand) with a red bow on top. I guess that was her christmas present.

3. Kay jeweler commercial, some douche surprises his wife with a gold bracelet while they are watching TV, and at the end of the ad, the announcer states that sales start at a "mere $3500".

4. Another jewelry commercial, but this time it's Santa. Santa goes to the mall and picks out the most expensive diamond for Mrs. Claus. Takes said diamond to the North Pole to give Mrs Claus, she's all happy and asks how he knows what she wants, Santa winks into the camera.

5. Another jewelry commercial. This one almost seems like a demand. Announcer says "She's been good all year, why don't you do something for her for a change?" Some guy surprises his wife with diamonds. Nothing like subtle shaming language to get your point across.

Seriously, who are they selling this idea to? Who saw these commercials and ran out to buy an $80,000 vehicle as a present? Do men ever get gifts on Christmas?
