Does anyone else feel as they get older that their families are just "going through the motions" when it comes to the holidays.  That people are forgetting what is all about.  Tis better to give than receive and that whole mess.

Whatever happened to common decency in this world?  Where I live it seems as though it has been totally discarded and pretty much shat on by all who are here.  Now, I will admit that South Florida is a melting pot to say the least and different cultures have different standards but it seems as though everything is going to shit down here.

Here's just one example:

The past few years it seems as though professional sports (in particular the NFL and the NHL) have been turning these once proud sports of gladitorial combat into an empty shell of what they used to be. They are "protecting" players way too much these days and our watering down these sports to almost embarrassing levels.

Last night my best friend, who I don't get to hang out with much anymore because his "fiance" has been a douche (although last night she was remarkably personable so i give her credit) for the past year, was in a charity boxing match last night. My friend is a cop and it was a cops versus firefighters thing to benefit the PAL. Anyways, some of the fights were good but his was bullshit. The ref stopped it 1:44 into the match because allegedly he was getting hit. He was getting a hit a few times but not in the head and they were basically love taps.

So after being out of town all weekend and the concert last I planned on picking up Halo 3 on the way from work yesterday.  After I got back from lunch, that was all I could think about and I was pretty much worthless at that point.  4:30 rolls around and I hit the door.  Swing by Gamestop, grab the game, run over to Chicken Kitchen and head home.   Just seeing the Bungie logo come up and that "Ahhhhahahahaha" gregorian chant-like thing was awesome enough.
