Hehe, I am a little ahead of my writing plan, so I deserve a moment of reflection. I have tried to get back to running, so I ran in the past three days, a little under 2 miles a day. I can finish it in three Enimen songs: "Like toy soldiers", "lose yourself", and "8 mile". It was accidentally arranged that way so the tempo is faster one after another. So in the end I was almost sprinting back to my apartment. On campus there is almost nobody, so I barely see any other runners.
Tomorrow is Christmas eve, so let me talk about holidays. Why holiday? I always have this conspiracy theory that all holidays are a combination of scams. For example, hollaween is pushed by candy industry and pumpkin farmers, vanlentine's is advocated by chocolate factories, Chinese new year is backed by all the firework shops, and Christmas, of course, is the grandest scam of all. Christmas, according to my alternative history, is promoted by all the people who want to feel good about themselves. So that stringy person can feel good because they at least give gift once a year, rich hypocrites feel good because they care about homeless people once a year, old pediphile feel good because they got dressed up like kind men to hug the kids, kids feel good because they got gifts, bosses feel good because they gave employees days off. Employees feel good because they feel they cheated the system by getting paid without working, malls feel good because they made half of the sales in the end of the year, trees feel good because they got chop down to light up the human world, credit cards feel good because they got wiped more often, Santa Clause feels good because he gets a chance to travel out of freaking cold north pole and climb some chimneys, Nutcrackers feel good because good dancers play them in theater.....
All the forces, human and non-human, seem to conspire together to make this holiday happen. It in turns makes me feel good because I get a chance to attend a free dinner tomorrow as well as write this stupid blog.
