Christmas Wishlist

Wow, how is it already December again? Do you ever get to an age where you are no longer surprised by how fast time flies?

With Christmas fast approaching, I was looking at my Christmas Wishlist from last year and I started making a revised edition for this year, but it wasn't really coming together very well. I really just have this one addendum:

First, go see An Inconvenient Truth (really, go see it! I command you to!) and then go offset my or your CO2 emissions by buying carbon credits from any of the places listed here, or any other similar place you might find. Essentially what this is is that you can calculate how many tons of CO2 you emit into the atmosphere every year through driving, using electricity, heating your home, etc. (The average American emits 7.5 tons), and then you can "buy carbon credits" where your money goes towards the production of atmosphere-friendly energy production, essentially canceling out your CO2 emissions.

The main thing is that nobody should spend any money on gifts for me, and if they must spend money, then it should be on something good and philanthropic since I myself don't really have enough money for philanthropy. Sure, there are some things that I would like for myself too, but I think I'm old enough now that I don't need to ask for things for Christmas anymore. Also, I don't really need anything, mostly just want.

In other news, my hermanita came back the other day from a month in Australia. I hate her because she can go to Australia for a month and get a boyfriend, but I can't get myself a girlfriend no matter how long I am in a place. Anyway, she brought a couple of CD's back with her from Australia and I thought that one of them sounded exactly like the girl who sings in this song, Southern Sun by Paul Oakenfold. It turns out that I was wrong. The girls who sings in this song is from New Zealand, not Australia. Anyway, it's a good song.
