Suggested Listening for this entry: Vince Guaraldi Trio - Christmas is Coming

Yes, Mr. Guaraldi it is. Around this time it can't be helped but to watch a few of the old christmas classics and one of which I recently watched was A Charlie Brown Christmas. Something about Charlie Brown specials relaxes me for some reason. Maybe its the cool jazz that accompanies the story, or the nostalgic warmness it brings (warmstolgic?). I don't know. But there is one thing i do know:

Charlie Brown was one of the most depressed cartoon characters ever. And he was only like 7! He puts Eeyore to shame sometimes, and that was one effing depressed donkey. After a few Peanuts specials Charlie Brown's voice changes and I'm almost certain its from all of the chain smoking and whiskey drinking he probably does to drown out his sorrow. Jeez Louise. I guess I cant entirely blame him though, the other kids are always putting him down. I mean come on all the guy was trying to do was direct a play. Douche bags.

Oh hey, remember when I said I only knew one thing about why I like CB specials? Actually I meant 2 things. The other thing is Schroeder is awesome. He is one of the coolest cats on the planet. Music is his entire world.

If for some reason some crazed scientist/cartoonist makes a machine that turns you into a charlie brown character, I would pick him because all I'd need is a piano and I'd be set. I want that kind of simplicity and skill. Plus he gets the chicks. I mean have you seen the way Lucy stares at him, with those hearts shooting out of her eyes? I wish that happened in real life too, by the way; whenever someone likes someone else, actual hearts would float around above them. It'd make it a whole lot easier to tell if a girl likes you. But I guess there'd be a lot of clean up what with all the hearts mucking about all over the place. There'd have to be a guy that goes around cleaning them up. Weddings would be a mess.
