We're all broken, like Misfit Toys, It's Christmas Mix Time

So, quite the day.
My Finals are done!!!!! Christmas Break for CBC and only 3 hours at liberty everyday. Im quite happy. I am possibly done with Calculus for my life, and my essay on the Abuse of Auto-tune was a success.
If you didnt know, I really dont like autotuning, besides autotune the news of course. I think it takes the feeling out of music and im not down with people changing the pitch of their voice to perfect when they cant do it on their own. People are talented for a reason, dont let people who shouldnt be singers pretend to be. That means you last name ever first name greatest. Thats my belief and I'm sticking to it.
First home Patriots game today. We started out on fire, ended up winning by 20. I cannot express how badly I want to play, it sucks. But my doctor thinks that I will be able to make a full return to athletics, so that is good. My problem is that if I play in college I probably wont be dominant, like i could be this year. And I was really looking forward to that experience for once. Oh well, some things just werent meant to be.
However, its odd to sit on the bench, and I cant even picture myself in the game this year for Liberty. The game dynamics are just so different than they would be. Either way, it was nice to see a win.
I plan on going back to school tomorrow, I have some catching up to do in Physics but whatever I'll figure it out. Ill be nice and lost tomorrow. Physical therapy in the morning too.
For all you who didnt know, basically everyone, yesterday was St Nicholas Day. It is a day to celebrate the real St. Nic, the guy Santa was based off of. My family celebrates it by making cookies and opening our stockings. I know you are all impressed.
I got a book. but thats okay because it's Brian Welch's new book, Stronger, which is like a 40 day devotional but I dont think I will go day by day. He gives a verse or two that has meant something in his walk of faith and tells a story of his life that illustrates how he has seen this in his ridiculous life. The first day? That verse about "I dont wanna gain the whole world, and lose my soul!" to quote dc talks rendition. So he told a story about how him and Kid Rock went on Metallicas private jet, a bunch of them did cocaine, which Brian claims isnt even fun he doesnt understand why he ever did it because it always just sucked, and they ended up in the back of some club, completely paranoid, and one guy(unnamed) in Metallica ended up basically mute for the night from the cocaine. Ridiculous, and quite the illustration to prove the verse. I'm pretty interested to see whats up next.
Lastly for the night. I'm guessing some of you have been wondering "Hey, its Christmas time, and all these Christmas songs are playing. I wonder what Ron listens to at Christmas time?" I know thats definitely been on everyones mind. Well to answer that burning question, I have a nice Christmas mix that is growing slowly.
Here's the list currently.
1-5 This Time of Year EP- Project 86. What can be said, its incredible.
6. Kidnap The Sandy Claws- Korn. Jonathan Davis covering the song from "Nightmare Before Christmas." Very Nice.
7. Zat You Santa Claus?-Neon Horse. Louis Armstrong originally, it's murky.
8. You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch-Queens Club. Murky, again.
9. Ho Ho Hey!(A way for Santas sleigh)- Emery. Pretty sweet.
10. When I Get Home For Christmas- Snow Patrol. I dont know if this is a cover, its slow but cool.
11. This Is War- Dustin Kensrue. Its an original song, and yes, Dustin is the lead singer for Thrice.
I realize Coldplay just came out with a Christmas song, and its fine, just a bit boring. I'm still looking for some more sweet songs, if you know then, you know, tell me. but be warned, if you even mention Family Force 5, it will not be pretty. Way to mess up perfectly fine Christmas songs.
Th..th..thats all folks
