gloomy days

wow it's december already...sure doesn't feel like it huh?

with christmas looming over us in just about 2 weeks i can't help but feel a bit down.
if you know me i will be the last guy to admit that things aren't so peachy because i try to go on about with a positive outlook in my life. but really there is so much going on around this world that can bring us down. the media does nothing but report about the negative aspects of our human nature. we are surrounded by failing economy, people are unemployed and taking advantage of the programs that the government has set up to help the truly needy. it's sad, why are humans such selfish and ego-maniacal creatures?

i'd like to issue a challenge to all of you out there.
instead of thinking about presents you want this christmas, think about contributing to your local community, whether it be through some form of charitable donation or volunteer work.

instead going out to shop for your ipads, iphones, playstation 3s, xbox kinects, kindles, nooks, laptops, hdtv 3d tvs...just save your money. these things are just luxuries, not necessities in life.
they say, if you give a little you will get back much more in return.

i believe in good karma, spread a little love this holiday season and make others happy and you shall receive the same love in return.

well i guess that's all i have to say on this matter.

happy holidays!
