The Eve of Christmas


It is the Eve of Christmas and it is Wednesday. I'm not wearing a collared shirt today. But, of course, I am updating the blog. My fam celebrated Christmas a while ago, like the day after school got out. So my Eve of Christmas was actually the day of the last day of school of 2008, the day I wore the Olympic suit. Our Christmas was good. As you can see from the picture, I received many ties. Five to be exact. The one that is hanging from my neck is a Christmas tie, you know, for good measure. For the record, the ties are hard to see on purpose, due to the fact I have not worn them in public as of yet.

Today though is the Eve of Christmas for the vast majority of the world. That is quite the feat if you think about it. Christmas is in every calender, every everywhere. And what's funny is you start seeing it after Halloween. Christmas is quite the holiday.

I have some sad news to report. According to Google Trends, the third most searched for term today is Mark Everett. Mark Everett (real name- Manuel Benitez) "was only nine years old when he began his acting career. He was fairly successful, starring in commercials, TV shows and movies." Thanks wikipedia. The reason I bring this man up is he was shot and killed yesterday in a standoff. Although he was a fugitive and featured on "America's Most Wanted," he did have a young son. I hope he recovers.

Also, the snowzilla (snowzilla picture, snowzilla pictures, snowzilla alaska) is said to have "appeared." This stuff interesting myths are. Snowzilla? I've never even heard of it.

Have fun, web surfers. And, have a wonderful, Eve of Christmas, eagerly awaiting, the Day, of Christmas;

What is poveglia?

  1. Poveglia is a small island located between Venice and Lido in the Venetian Lagoon, Italy.
    It has an unfortunate history and is considered by some to be a hot spot for ghosts. During Roman times it was used to isolate thousands of plague victims, and during the three occasions when the black death spread through Europe, the island was effectively used as a plague pit — it was considered an efficient way of keeping the infected people separated from the healthy. It is believed that over 160,000 people died on the island throughout its history.
