Time Of The Season
Winter is here. Cold weather for Krüde on the
northern right coast. Holidays are on everybody’s mind this season. Not
me. I don’t give a shit about holidays. I treat them like they are any other
day in the year. Except, I get the day off from work. No big deal
What I really want to exploit in these web pages is how people
suddenly COME ALIVE when the fall/winter holidays arrive. This means that
people who don’t ordinarily drive a vehicle for most of the year, are taking to
the extra crowded roads of New Jersey.
Manic drivers are nothing new to people of NJ. In fact, our
auto insurance premiums are always amongst the highest in the nation. Add a
bunch of holiday drivers to the mix. And what do you get? Pure fucking Hell on
the roads.
Northeast New Jersey has the largest concentration of
shopping malls per square mile in the WORLD. One lane roads combined with
shopping malls and shitty drivers: irritated Krüde. People don’t like to use
their turn signals. Or turn their lights on when it gets dark. Nobody wants
ANYBODY to get a pass on a tough left turn. All for what? Shopping for dumb gifts?
Preparing for weeks for a holiday that lasts 24 hours? I saw tons of Xmas
lights already on display at dozens of houses when driving my mother home on
Thanksgiving night. What the fuck for? To show up your equally idiotic
neighbor? I have no problem with Xmas displays on personal property. But to
have it wasting energy a month before a holiday is sheer lunacy.
Safe to say that I hate holidays. I’m the same guy every day
of every day I’m on this Earth. Not sure how Christian ideals became so
entrenched into the melting pot of Americana. Observing traditions is all fine
and dandy. Except when it gets into the way of progress. And all I ever see at
this time of year is antiquated traditions and bad drivers. Nothing to truly
celebrate. So instead, I toast my bourbon on the rocks to all who hate the
bullshit of the holiday season like myself. Cheers!
