    Do many people celebrate Kwanzaa? I see stuff about it every year but have never met or heard of any people that actually observe / celebrate it.

    i think kwanzaa is just a snooty intellectual holiday, so probably not many. plus i dont think gifts are involved at all, just love. that’s kinda sad 🙁

  2. Pete, I still say tough noogies! Common sense goes a long way towards avoiding stupid accidents. And when you do make stupid mistakes, regardless of your age, you need to own up to it instead of looking to blame someone else.

    A few years ago I fell on the sidewalk and effed up my back good fashion. 3.5 months of physical therapy and heavy drugs were required to get me walking normally again. The ice on that stretch of sidewalk had been allowed to accumulate unabated for 6 days. I could have sued the living shit outta someone. Instead, I took responsibility for it because my dumb ass walked out of the house that day in flat dress shoes with no traction. I saw the ice and had been looking at it for several days. Instead of getting my feet wet by passing through some snow to get to and walk on the dry and ice-free street, I decided to walk across the ice. Busting my ass was exactly what I deserved in that situation.
