Brain Splatter

The only gift that I do have to get is a damn secret Santa thing for this guy at work. I think I am going to take the pussy way out and get a Dunkin Donuts gift certificate or wahtever it is that they have.

Now don't get me wrong. I am not a Scrooge or anything. I am just a a lousy shopper. What do you get for people who can get whatever they want to get for themselves? I also must confess, I kept putting it off this year. I should have had my shopping done earlier in the month. I should have ordered shit off the internet, but I kept putting it off and putting it off. Now here we are with seven days left and I am not going to pay for all the extra shipping. The Jewish side of my personality isn't letting me pay that much for shipping if it isn't an emergency.

So where does that leave me? I guess it is gift cards and that is about it. They always say it the thought that counts and yet we still give presents. Is that ironic?

I kind of feel bad for not finding the perfect gift; if such a thing exists. Well, I don't really feel that bad. I would rather spend time with the people that I care about. I guess the holidays kind of magnify what a shit you are the rest of the year and if you can't at least be decent to the people you love at this time of year you really are a fucking loser.
