I admit, I had the blues a fair bit today - until I received this Xmas card from Holly in the mail all the way from Merry Ol’ England, which cheered me up a great deal. Thank you!

I'm Brent Keane, I'm an Aussie in his mid-30's, and synchronicity, geekery & bloggery is what you'll find here. I also run another popular blog: Keane On Comics, and am an iiNet Topgeek 2.0 finalist.

Also meant to post this earlier, but it slipped my mind. Ah well, enjoy the pretty lights.
Slightly late for the now-passed (thank-deity-of-choice) festive season, but I like it.
New Radicals - You Get What You Give
I don’t do Christmas songs. I had toxic exposure to ‘The Little Drummer Boy’ as a child; I was forced to sing Lennon’s “Merry Christmas (War Is Over)” as part of a choir in a school concert; plus, for the last six weeks, I’ve been subjected to carols and the like every time I go shopping. (There’s something fundamentally wrong about hearing ‘Walking In A Winter Wonderland’ whilst in a southern hemisphere summer.)
However, I do believe in karma, and in human decency. In doing the right thing, and in taking responsibility when intentions go awry. Which can be difficult at times, granted…but if you give yourself permission to make mistakes…to be human…perhaps that’s the best gift you can give yourself, and those around you.
Like the man said, you’ve got the music in you.
Merry Christmas, all.
FML.
If I hear ‘Last Christmas’ one more friggin’ time while out grocery-shopping, I’ll most likely metamorphose into Michael Douglas’ character from Falling Down (a.k.a. one of the few good Joel Schumacher movies, along with The Lost Boys and Phone Booth).
“You there boy, what day is this?” “Why sir, it’s Christmas Day!” (This was the first thing that popped into my head when I woke up!)
Merry Christmas, everyone.
