"Saint Nick"

What a name...this has got to be one of the stupidest names I could come up with..and yet, I am in such a ..."not care" mood that, you can guess, like it or not, it's fine by me. It's snowing outside. Been snowing for about 20 hours now. I can't say it's not nice or anything... the white that fills your view is really...interesting :)
I went to do some shopping earlier today. On my way, a couple of kids around the block, playing with snowballs. By my guess, they were 6th or 7th graders. Having fun. Throwing snowballs at people, no matter the age or gender.. I looked at them with hate, because they were having fun, and I wasn't , with them. I'm glad I'm a tempered person and I didn't start yelling at them or something, like other people might have, or even worse, go there and start making a scene... although that was my first impulse... What do they think, that just because they live in a bad neighborhood they won't get in trouble with other people? Do they also believe in that "gangsta' " thing that's been going on in the last months...oh yeah, a real fad..."we're gangstas cuz we live in a baaaad neighborhood and we gonna bust a cap in your a**" How intelligent. The young kids, I don't blame them. They're young. They absorb anything and everything they can from the television..good or bad, it doesn't matter to them. To them, it's cool.
Another subject. These days I'm gonna get a sweater from PallMall. Yeah, the irony. I've stopped smoking and now I get a sweater that basically encourages people to smoke... How can you give a prize to someone that's killing himself over time? I think I've opened my eyes... But I'm gonna go and I'm gonna get that sweater. And I'm not gonna burn it or anything, no. Actually, I'm gonna keep it, to remind me of the society these days.. where alcohol and tobacco rule the market...Fortunately you can't find any more commercials about them on the streets, but that won't prevent a 6th grader to start smoking if he's curious.. it's just sick..
For the past 2 or 3 years my winter holidays have been just... I'd rather not talk about it. This year I thought things would be different. Maybe they'll be, maybe they won't. Time will tell...
You may be wondering..why am I writing this? Who am I to judge people? Who am I to judge the society? I'm just a nobody, listening to some Deftones in a bad after-noon. Am I sad? No. I'm just bored. And when I get bored, I get inspirational and I start writing stuff... intelligent or otherwise, it's up to you to decide.
Peace!
