"The good thing about when you feel like you have nothing, it just means that there's only everything to gain."

"Where'd you get that from a fortune cookie?"

"No from some optimistic emo kid."

Well that's kind of an oxymoron isn't it?"

"Sure but who knows where you'll pick up little bits of knowledge from."

"So you're learning stuff from emo kids nowadays? And who says a college degree is needed get a job nowadays?"

"I hate you.."

"See now THAT sounds like something you'd hear from an emo kid."

"You want to hear something emo like? First off.. what the hell is this emo crap anyway.. emo is like the diet coke of goth."

"Just one calorie? Not even enough?"

"Damn straight. Seriously though... I hate the holiday season it's all marketing bullshit."

"So you don't want this Playstation 3 package with blue ray dvds from Best Buy?"

"Well.. I didn't say that but come on. Thanksgiving? So we're celebrating the murder of Native Americans pretty much?"

"Naw man you're thinking to deep into it. It's not so much about celebrating that it's more about just getting together with family and friends and having a nice dinner."

"You know.. you can do that anytime of the year and it doesn't have to be a holiday."

"Ok.. fair enough but still I don't mind the big ol turkey dinner with stuffing and all the trimmings especially cranberry from a can mmm that's good stuff."

"Dim sum."

"Sorry, what?"

"Dum sum.. that's what I'll get for Thanksgiving... or maybe pizza."

"Not so much for tradition are you?"

"Just because other people have been force fed the idea of what Thanksgiving dinner is supposed to be doesn't mean I have to follow it, sides if I want craberry in a can I'll run out to the store and buy a can or three."

"You're so jaded."

"Perhaps.. but at least I won't be hungry."

"What about Christmas? Don't like that either? Valentine's Day? Shit, Martin Luther King Jr. Day?"

"I think the only holiday I like is Memorial day or Labor day actually and even that's stretching it. Hell, over half the people that celebrate Christmas don't go to church or even care about the reasonings behind it. I once heard someone ask why all the Christmas carols sounded so religous."

"Hahaha ok.. that's kind of amusing. So are you saying that people who celebrate any holiday should only do so if they know the meaning of it?"

"No not really. I think it's more I'd prefer if people were sincere about it and be honest about why they're getting together or giving presents and being nice, and again that whole not having to just be one day out of the year because it's a so called holiday."

"Next thing you'll tell me is that you'll believe that you think all people are inherently good."

"As much as I'd like that to be true, not really there's alot of assholes out there."

"You know.. talking to you gives me a headache sometimes."

"If it makes you feel any better, it's a pain trying to explain myself to you."

"It is, it means I dont have to suffer alone."

"Well.. it's been a nice chat but I have to be going."

"That's cool, when you leave can you be sure to turn off the light?"

"See.. that's why you're the black one always staying in the dark."

"Uh huh, sometimes I think that the black spot on you is bigger than you make it appear to be."

"That's just the way it goes."

"Again with the fortune cookies!."

"Later."

"Or sooner than you think."

"Touche."
