Epic Waste of Time

O.K. Before you get into this post, I will admit, it is rather shallow. There is no moral at the end.

But, if you have

a. 8 minutes to burn or b. A lunch break coming up, this is the post for you.

As a kid I played a lot of Super Mario Bros. I was terrible at it, but that didn't matter! The challenge of finally getting to World 4 was enough for me.

Apparently that didn't quite do it for this guy. Not only did he beat the game (it was possible?) he did so with the lowest score of all time... ya. Someone had a little too much time on their hands!

This Christmas

Something strange has happened to me this year. Two things actually.

Firstly, I'm enjoying The Little Drummer Boy. I won't lie, I have always despised this song. This year though something has changed... I've actually been enjoying the song, turning it up when it comes on LIFE even!!! What's up with that?

The second thing is I don't want anything for Christmas.

As a young child (5 or 6 if you must know) my Mom had told me that "some day, I'll know that it is better to give than to receive". (This was her way of getting out of the question "What do you want for Christmas")? I thought she was crazy... there would always be an action figure, LEGO® set or toy car that I'd want... not so. In fact I'm looking forward to giving more than ever.

I don't really need anything, and everything that I want is ridiculously expensive (hobbies are pricey... ask a musician). The point of Christmas is Christ and I think I know that now. More than ever.

So the only item on my wish list this year is socks... and a CD with Little Drummer Boy on it!
