    With Thanksgiving in a few days and Christmas around the corner, don't forget that their are a lot of people out there who are less fortunate. Drop some canned goods in the donation box at your local supermarket or donate some toys or winter coats.

    If you only give during the holiday season, than you are a sheep like the rest of them.

    Seriously. Tis the season to be guilted into buying a toy to put in a donation box.

    If you don't do a charity donation with every paycheck, it's kind of weak to scrape together some singles to do it right before Christmas.

    Right because it's better to never do something good than to only do it once. Hipster 101.

    There is only two good holidays: St.Patricks Day and Cinco de Mayo. The rest are bullshit.

    I don't think the kids care really.
    It's great that you do more, but those that open up their wallets so a kid can have 1 fucking happy day a year, shouldn't be scolded for it.

    It doesn't sound like a lot, but collectively it is thousands of presents under trees for little knot heads that may not have gotten anything otherwise.

    Spread some cheer brother.

    Is it better to call someone you haven't spoken to in awhile a day before the holiday or on the day of it ?

    Two months? That's a long time if you are twelve. Fuck, just call the guy.

    Twenty or so years from now you're going to be ruing the fact that you only see and talk to some of your old buddies when you run into them at funerals. Don't wait.

    Lol the constant references to "this person" and "a friend" makes it obvious that it's Handshake Girl.

    Or at least an equivalent.

    Come on, mute, grow a fucking sack before you hit 40.

    no no no. I dont talk to her anymore. But ah, very good.

    As for the girl eariler in the summer, I ran into her in late August. I quickly then started to wonder why I made such a big deal about her to begin with.

    You're going to realize that this is a trend. Whatever chick you think is the balls right now ends up being a faded face in the past that you wonder why you bothered so much about.

    That's why you need to treat them like that now. She's cute and seems interesting. But you don't know her like you should. Don't blow your load unless you come to know her and she's the one.
