Happy Christmas from Gator Dave
it's the most wonderful time of the year... shut the F*&$ up!!! this time of the year is not wonderful for many people. for many it means anxiety in many forms. whether your shopping for relatives that you don't know what to buy for or just shopping in general, it can be exhausting. if you have to see relatives and you have to take a couple of days just to prepare yourself mentally to see them, you've got problems. it may be that your family lives far away and you won't be able to see them. or even just someone that you care alot about... that can be difficult. it feels that at this point i'm supposed to say... "i've got the cure for you!!!" its "fearaway!!!" brand new from the makers of "getagrip!!!"
i don't have the answers to these or any other problems. you see... i just write about the things that i see going on around me everyday and then i sum up the answer in one sentence at the end of the entry (the moral of the story). i do have some advice though. ok, ok, i know... this is coming from Gator Dave. a guy who is single, 30ish, and likes to wrestle gators... good night!!! he just loves reptiles in general and he serves lattes in his off time. anyway, i lived away from family for many years and i was not the happiest at the holidays. my answer to these problems may sound to me to be simple but i know given some circumstances is not, is communication. talk to your family, talk to people who are in line with you while you are doing that last minute shopping. and most of all smile... smile till it hurts. and hey, i hope you all have a merry christmas and a safe and happy new year, and if you are spiritual, like me, i hope you remember the love that this holiday represents.
and lastly if you don't like my advice, go f#$* yourself. by the way, that's "flub", from the olde english "flob", meaning to take a hot shower and relax.
by the way, i just recently found out that when you look up gatordave and gator dave on google or yahoo you get this website and my old website, which i still love and will always be my first love even when gatordave.net is online.
one more thing... i just realized that jon and stacey remind me of nick and jessica... think about it.
the moral of the story is... don't burn down the house this christmas, let is shine with the love of the holiday... what?... yea.
