Christmas movies, commercials and music? Can I just please put a bullet in my skull now before I completley lose it? It is god awful. All of it. It probably doesn't help that December is colder then the North pole, guys, I'm a summer being, I don't do winter, I don't do cold and I sure as hell don't do snow.
Also is is just me or is the whole Christmas happening earlier each year? What the hell? I seriously get nervous rashes when I see god damn Christmas tacky crap in the stores before Halloween. Animals! All of you, seriously, why not start in June already? Or better yet how about not even taking the lights and such down? Would be easier no?
The concept of Santa and kids hoped up on sugar and lies. Why do we tell kids that a strange man is coming to their room while they sleep? What is that all about? I mean I wouldn't wanna see a strange man in my room in the middle of the night. Red suit or not. Well I mean, if it's Charlie Hunnam or Jason Momoa then they are most welcome but anyone else? How about no?
The fake ''let's spend time together'' crap, with either family or co - workers or wnb friends, okay listen here, I hate you all year long, I will not hate you less because it's December. If anything I'll hate you more.
Drunks. Drunks everywhere. Can people have a good time without vomiting their insides out in the streets? Just asking…
WHY, why, why is there such a thing as ugly Christmas sweaters? Why?! As if horribly tacky Santa or Rudolph aint enough, they happen to sing a carol if you press their noses. Dear god, take me now I can't stand it.
Well I didn't plan this post to start like this…but then again I never actually plan posts. But here's the deal, since I just complety shredded this entire extremely ''festive'' season (can you see my murder glare?) here's a part that I happen to like. Sometimes.
There's a ton of open air FREE concerts in this time of year and the thing is, it's cold as fuck, people are awful and drunk, but guys, free concerts. And it just so happens that this year the programme is sick! Really great musicians, pretty much daily so props for doing something right.
And because I am a complete fucking idiot, I thought that my Friday (after a week of work and errands and craziness and next to no sleep) night should be spent on two concerts. Not one but two. Hey, don't you judge me, I love music and I can never decide. But really, why should I?
First band to open my concert season was a band who I admit I don't know too well. I knew who they are, what they are, biggest hits etc. So I figured, alright the hits are great why not give them a chance? So basically they are called ''Psihomodo pop'' and they're a Croatian pop punk band. They formed in the 80's, 1983 I believe and since then they got a pretty huge fan base going on.
Guys this band played two concerts as the opening act for Ramones. THE Ramones. Oh my god. I didn't know that btw, only recently learned but what really shocked me with this info was that this happened in 1990 and that Ramones played in my country. I don't know why I'm shocked anymore to be fair. This place used to be cool, we had Ramones, Metallica, Queen and Nirvana, and what do we have today? You don't even want to know…
They did a really great album after Yugoslavia fell apart, it was called ''Silver pigs'' and it was critically acclaimed but produced an award winning single ''Starfucker''. I believe the last line goes ''starfucker, motherfucker'' hah, you don't want to know, really. But the singers hair in the music video? I died. Literally. He's all kinds of crazy though, got to love him, got to admire him, like the other Mick Jagger with the stage behaviour. And the bands lyrics? Comedy show. Brightens up a bad day.
And you know what? First time I wasn't bothered that much by people, they mostly behaved. Probably because it was insanely cold and people were hanging on bars drinking hot mulled wine which honest to god is more sugar and less wine, with an absurd price to match.
So it's after 10 I'm sitting outside under a heater in a bar contemplating my life and why on earth did I think this was a good idea and who the hell decided that all the good events in the entire year have to be crammed into one month. Yet this second band is a local band, from my town. And honestly, missing out on their show is criminal, the boys are so madly talented it's surreal. Every instrument is on point and the vocals are out of this world. If I had it my way they'd be touring the world with the biggest names in music history.

Show them some love guys, you won't regret it.
Have a great week, spread love not hate (unless it's about hating Christmas then you are most welcome), and stay safe during this fucked up month.
