OT: Thread About Nothing (part # who cares)

[My3Sons]

It’s Christmas Eve, so I’m celebrating the proper way: watching Die Hard, drinking a Manhattan, and eating the cookies my son left out for Santa.

Merry Christmas to all!

I’m watching the recent Kennedy Center Honors and enjoying the Grateful Dead tribute. Nothing says spiritual introspection like tripping on Aiko-Aiko. I’m fortunate enough to have seen thr Dead play that with thr Neville Brothers. They had Tedeschi and Trucks play in the tribute. If anyone enjoys guitar and has not watched much Derek Trucks take some time and look up a few live videos. I’ve seen a number of great rock guitarists and he is as powerful and skilled as any of them.

I have very strong coquito that my supervisor gave me two bottles of (one for me, one for the wife). Currently we have the Lil Bub Yule Log video on the TV in the background.

Coquito is great, we’re big fans here. I’m actually hosting a Caribbean medley themed dinner next month and I’m making coquito as a batch cocktail for it.

Other dishes I’m making are pholourie, mofongo, picadillo, Jamaican jerk tofu, and coconut rice. Should be good.

Why do we have to have fireworks on Christmas Eve now?

are you f***ing kidding me?

Unrelated - I have a friend of mine, who is an acquaintance of my cousin's husband.

So long story short, I got ICED at my cousins Christmas gathering today.

Like Smirnoff Iced?

 

[Mr Bojanglez]

in my fantasy football league - if your player puts up zero points, you have to chug a smirnoff ice. I voted against this rule.

So unrelated to fantasy football - my friend (in the league) who lives in the same area as my cousin - contacted her husband. I surprisingly got a gift from a secret santa. So I opened a gift in front of my family and it was a Smirnoff Ice.

I did not do the chug there, because i already had one beer and had to drive home. But it was pretty funny.

I don’t think I’ve heard of anybody getting iced since like 2015. Man that’s an old trend rearing its head.

2015 is going to be a decade ago in a weeks time. Hard to believe....

Who makes Devils panties? And where is it possible to buy some?

Asking for a friend.

They aren't the best thing in the world but they're right next to it!

Interesting, I have a friend who lives in Brooklyn who texted me earlier complaining about the same thing

How about all the hoopla about Y2K being TWENTY FIVE YEARS ago.

Maybe it's gun fire?

 

[Bleedred]

Maybe it's gun fire?

Hell no. They were huge fireworks!

As some who kind of likes fireworks (for the 4th July), I've got to admit fireworks for Christmas is strange and a new one to me.

Is town sponsored or just random people? Was after midnight last night?

I always thought Christmas was a more quiet family gathering time?

Awesome.

Dude aren't you my age? You don't have any gray in your beard? Holy smokes...I look like Santa Claus.

I badly wanna message a relative this Christmas Day and tell him how much I hate him and how much of a worthless scumbag and see you next Tuesday he is. And so many other mean things.

Someone talk me out of it. Not because it’s wrong, but because he doesn’t deserve to hear from me.

If I do this on Christmas he’s going to think I’m having a miserable one. But I struggle with the urge to do this several times a week.

New Years may be better. I’d love to tell him happy new year! Another year closer to your death you piece of shit.

Not worth it. It'll only bring you internal strive. Sometimes the best thing is to just move on and protect your own well being by surrounding yourself with the things that bring you happiness and peace.

Everybody has mostly advised against it unless I’m contacted first. Then I can unload.

He’s blocked, but he has a company phone that I don’t even know the number to that is not blocked.

Will unloading make you feel better? Probably not, right? It probably will just piss you off even more and get you all hopped up.

Think Self Preservation.

It may make me feel better.

I just blocked and ghosted this worthless waste of life aren’t the 90-billionth chance I gave him. I just disappeared. I wanted to tell him to go f*** himself and just verbally destroy him.

But I’d also be happiest to never hear from him again for the rest of my life.

Which I will never contact him again unless it’s to unload on him and the demons get the best of me.

I will never contact him to reconcile or accept him doing so with me.
