The Christmas and The Rush



Now to understand my Christmas you must take into account 2 parts: The Christmas, and The Rush. Allow me to explain ...

THE CHRISTMAS:
The previous week was a frenzy and when Christmas came, it was like a brick to the nuts....
I wake up at 10 to realize it was Christmas, I still needed to wrap my gifts and I had to be at church in half an hour...I did a pretty pathetic attempt at wrapping the gifts, but I came to church on time which was good.
I enjoyed the service, even Pastor Doug proved how little each one of us knew about the Christmas story. He gave us a little quiz on the story, in which most people in my row got a whole 25%! (Man am I ever screwed for the exam!). Nonetheless, it really got me into the Christmas mood which I had really lacked earlier so that was nice.
When I got home we opened our gifts. I recieved the usual items (socks, underwear, etc) and then there some more notable gifts like the 'Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy' DVD. But one gift stood above them all...It had everything one would need for a source of entertainment. Something that I have been waiting for a long time...
What is this something?
Well, friend, sit down, grab some hot coco and listen up as I expound on this magnificent gift...

THE RUSH:
As many of you may know, I am a huge Rush fan...HUGE. throughout 31 one years this band has stuck it out through thick and thin...with 20+ albums and each album being a masterpiece, you cannot deny their awesomeness...
There are so many reason why theyre awesome:
- Drummer is the lyricist for the band -------------> AWESOME
- Been around for 31 years and still making music -> AWESOME
-Guitar solos -------------------------------------->AWESOME
-Drum solos --------------------------------------> AWESOME
- Bass solos --------------------------------------->AWESOME






^^AWESOME^^

I could go on of course, but if I did, I would run out of room on the internet and your whole computer would implode! You don't want that, do you?...didn't think so.
So what does this have to do with my Christmas gift?
Well I recieved the RUSH 30TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR DVD....

Complete with everything you need to rock out (plus kung-fu action!).
When I opened the dvd, I couldnt believe what they put in it...okay there's the DVD...which is good because that's what I bought it for, but on top of that they included the audio discs of the concert! that's Huge! I can now listen to the live concert while I'm cruising the streets of Winnipeg!
But that's not all! It comes with guitar and bass pics with signatures from Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson!! by that time I was blown clear across the room by the sheer force of awesomeness that the dvd was emitting.
A sticker and picture book were also included in the package....such a gift could make a rush fan weep in joy....ahem...but not me.
Anyways if ALL THAT didn't do it for you, than I've got news for you! Along the dvd case there were calculus equations written....



YES, FREAKIN INTERGRALS, probably written by Neil Peart no less while he was sleeping because he's a pure genius.


So in conclusion, Christmas was a Rush....no? Well, I thought it was funny.
