Some people need to get a life and stop complaining about the little things. With human beings starving, wars being fought, and global warming to worry about, I am often amazed that people insist on complaining about inconsequential problems that are more about opinion and taste than anything substantial. I blame HGTV and some bitchy gay boys who insist on everyone being just like they are. Most lesbians I know are so busy with relationship drama, that they don’t seem too bothered by etiquette issues and decorating. Hoorah for the lesbos! Sometimes we get it right.
Don’t get me wrong, one of my best friends is a gay man, but hey, that just proves my point. The gay men make us all a little paranoid. Their standards are simply too high. Who can live with so many responsibilites, and still have time to vote, read, bathe, clean the house, cook, and take care of children and aging parents.
I know what you’re thinking. You are assuming that I am lazy and that’s why I’m discounting the whole, leaving the lights up for awhile issue. You may be partly right, but then, you know I will make my point since I always do. Right? No argument is too small to escape my comment. Now you see firsthand how annoying people like that are. I even annoy myself at times, acknowledging the non-issues of the world that should not be validated, but instead often become fodder for talk show hosts and shock jocks who rule the airwaves.
What’s the harm in cheering up the dreary, cold days of January with some festive lights? January weather is typically much more brutal than December’s, so why not use those lights to warm things up a bit and give us some hope as we stare headfirst into the abyss that is the winter. Why should December be this wonderful month of gift-giving, vacation days, and feasts, leaving nothing for January except bad weather and maybe MLK day off if you’re lucky.
So stop giving your neighbors a hard time for leaving their lights up longer. Maybe they’re the ones with the right idea and you need to focus on something more important. I know what you’re thinking. How can I be so bold as to tell you to get a life, when I am sitting here discussing this inconsequential matter myself.
You make a valid point. But somebody has to take this stuff on. And it might as well be me, as I love to write and don’t do much else once the winter kicks in. You see I hate the cold and love lights. Once all the tinsel and decorations come down, I feel such a letdown that I can barely stand it. NO! I don’t need antidepressants. But some lights would be nice until spring. I’m just saying…why the need to go cold turkey. What’s the rush?
Happy Holidays!
