Dammit.

Hope you all had or are having a merry Christmas. Myself? Forget it. I'll start rambling to you about my very merry Christmas.

Okay, so I wake up at 8 AM today and go into the living room, expecting a PSP game. What do I find for me? A box. A big box. A box fitting for a video game console for the television.

Normally, if you wake up and find a huge box in your living room or den or wherever you would put the tree, you'd probably think "Oh my god, big present. Asdfjkl;"

BUT.

I thought, "What, I didn't ask for an XBox 360." So I went back to sleep for an hour more to keep my mind off it.

After my hour nap, my brother annoys me about my present. It's almost like he wants it. Or he just wants it. Not almost. Just. He's just happy because he got a PS2 to replace the broken one. So I go into the living room, thinking there was absolutely no point for a second PlayStation 2 or an XBox 360 in this house, and open my present. It's just a Nintendo Wii. We already have a Nintendo Wii. Apparently, to my brother, he says it's just not any Nintendo Wii. It's a 25th Anniversary Mario Red American Wii. So he wants it.

I'm like "Shut it. I don't see the point in this. It's an American Wii. We don't even have any goddamn games for it."

And then he goes into this "insult" mode and proceeds to insult me on how selfish and stupid I am for wanting to sell it on eBay. He says I should either give the thing to him or just keep the Wii Remote if I actually sell it. Hmm, does this make any sense? I'm selfish and he says I should keep the Wii Remote if I sell it out of selfishness. How does that make me less selfish? That just makes me a jerk. A selfish jerk.

I was trying to enjoy my day here (or at least make it better) by playing some video games and my brother continues to ramble about how selfish and stupid of a jerk I was for wanting to sell it by repeating points A and B. A being "GIVE THE WII TO ME LOL STUPID BRO" and B being "KEEP THE WII REMOTE IF YOU SELL IT I KNOW WE CANT PLAY FIVE PLAYERS ON THE WII BUT WHO CARES LOL BE A JERK OF A SELLER".

Here are the possible ways I could respond to such stupidity:
  1. Yell in his face, "GODDAMMIT, I DON'T CARE."
  2. Facepalm, walk off and return several hours later
  3. PROCEED TO THROW THE DS LITE AT MY DESK TO SHUT EVERYTHING UP.

I picked 3. That's just how stupid this was. Out of rage, I save my file and throw my DS Lite at my desk. Hard enough it damages the hinge further.

And then there was silence.

Everything was happy. I was probably happy, too, when I did that. In fact, so happy, it made my day.

tl;dr: There was rage. I got a Nintendo Wii and I'm selling it on eBay as unused. Technically, my Christmas wish for cash came true, but not in the form I wished it would. That and whee, blind rage. I'm like a guy with a devil on one shoulder and… another on the other.
