A funny christmas story

So, I was just thinking about Santa Claus. and I realized that i didnt know about him until I was 14 years. and I didnt know that he wasn't real until I was 16. Most of my childhood (specially christmas) was at my grandfather's place and I don't know why he never told me.

Well, some of my friends in Bombay told me about Mr. Claus when I was 14, and thought it would be funny if I really believed in him.

Ah well, Santa Claus is coming to town! (So watch out, don't cry, and ESPECIALLY, don't pout.)

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Ps. I know its not christmas for another month, and It's thanksgiving even before that - but, I have a special attachment to this time of the year. Happy thanksgiving!

What could this be?

Backstory: I laugh A LOT, and very loudly.

Earlier today, I was talking to some friends and they made a hilariously funny joke. typically I would laugh like a crazy person on crack, but I started laughing, and I realized i didnt feel like it. I found it funny, but I didnt feel like laughing at all.

I dont understand, just thought I'd put it up here.

A Quote or two

“While I kept my heart to myself, I never had a single morning of anguish or a single night of insomnia. Since I fell in love, my life has been a sequence of anguish, losses, confusion. I think that God, by using love, managed to hide hell in the middle of Paradise” - Paulo Coelho

Love possesses nothing and does not want to be possessed, because it is enough in itself. It will make you grow, and then throw you on the ground. It will whip you so that you feel your impotence, it will shake you to rid you of all your impurities. It will crush you to leave you flexible. And then it will toss you in the fire so that you can become the blessed bread to be served at God’s sacred feast (The Prophet, by Khalil Gibran [1883-1931])

I don't know why this means so much to me, but it does...
