I have a strong theory that with all the playground of old being torn out, the youth of today will grow up to be adult wusses. Never knowing what it was like to break their arm, or sprain an ankle, the “bitches” of the future will trip on a stair and cry to their mommies. Not us man, we lived it raw; wood climbers, monkey bars, monkey bar battles! Shit, or even swinging on the swings, higher and higher, until you’re almost falling upside-down then letting go and basically falling to the ground; that’s truth brothers.

This was my entry to this years “holiday door contest,” Sadly Janet (my office-mate) and I are admin’s so on the day we were supposed to enter we were overwhelmed with work. Not that this door was particularly inspired (the same can be said about the photo I took of it), but I just feel like we didn’t get the fair shot some of the other guys did. Granted they did put the effort into it after hours.

Notice how sad my little fake ginger bread man is? And don’t get me started on Ginger, we had thousands of Ginger snap cookies in our office for the week which (mostly Janet) we had to bundle in little baggies and tie a ribbon on. I can only smell Ginger now and I hate it.

I always felt that I could see how lonely so many people are, I could see beyond any thinly veiled attempts at sociability and recognize everyone as their own unique loner. Really I felt that I could empathize with everyone, see and know people for who they were and love them anyway; a lot like Jesus really.

So I figured it would be no problem to capture these moments of sincerity on my camera, and I haven’t had a lot of them (and I’m not even saying that this is one of those times either), because when you look at photos like I see on other sites I think I need to find a lot more sad people to really get some emotions across.

Talk about playing with a handicap.

My brother and I took up the *defencive* way of playing tic tac toe a long time ago. This game has completely lost it’s appeal since, by playing that method, nobody ever wins. So then if a stalemate is my goal, don’t I win?
