Christmas Time

As of right now, I have 4,000 dollars to my name. I've bought presents for my brothers and myself. That's right, I'm buying presents for myself. You see, this year (because my little brother has no money and is going through college and my parents don't want him to feel bad because he can only afford tiny gifts compared to the rest of us) we have decided that instead of buying lots of presents for everyone, each person will buy each other only a single gift. And because I want the Wii and no one is willing to wait in any kind of line for anything apparently...thus blowing the one chance I've had to get a Wii for Christmas, I will therefore be getting a Tau Army Box and some other crap. Do I sound materialistic? Good, because I am. We live in a country that is blessed with wealth that the majority of people in the world can only hope to imagine...and rather then be miserly with it, we should embrace it and give heartily to each other. It wouold be better if we could give heartily to the people who really need it...but that does not have the immediate gratification of seeing your loved ones smile on Christmas morning at all the present they have recieved. But that's just me.
What does all this have to do with me having $4,000 to my name? Well...I still need to pay enxt years tuition and buy presents for my parents and Marie...and I'll be damned if I give either of them just one dinky present. End result is Andrew = broke.
That's all, just complaining that I will soon be poor.

Merry Christmas everyone!
