Merry Christmas Gabber's & Friends,
It's about 12:27am on Christmas morning and I can't go to sleep. No, I'm not awaiting Santa!! LOL.. Atleast not this year... As I finish wrapping all of my gifts, suddenly I have mixed feelings about the red and green candy cane stripped boxes and bags underneath my tree. On one hand I'm "totally siked" about all the happy faces I'll see opening Ipods, digital camera's, and indiviual toe-socks. Yet, on the other hand...I think I should say "In" the other hand there is nothing. Zip, Zero! Every Christmas I "go broke" buying gifts and tokens for family and friends. Some years I even create debt by using department store credit cards.(Of course now that I am implementing my credit card restoration plan, Department store credit card over load is out of the question)
I watch CNN as they report that America is officially in a recession, in need of unemployment benefit extensions, and another economic stimulus package and yet there seems to be no drop in holiday sales. The malls where I shop were still just as crowded as usual on Christmas eve. How much do you spend each year on presents?
So, I sit awake... wishing that Santa Clause really had purchased all these presents. I just realized that the price of Christmas is giving me a Holiday Headache

T'was the night before College Scene 1
INT. Steve’s Bedroom - DAY
Narrator
Steve is alone in his bedroom packing up belongings to leave for college. He stops packing for a moment and looks down at his visa envelop enclosing his new Pre-approved credit card. He begins to daydream about all the things he’ll buy once away from his penny-pinching parents that won’t allow him to wear the latest clothing or have an expensive car and doses off to sleep. Then, he awakes in a day-dream where he will meet three different characters that will educate him on the dangers of over spending and save his financial life.
He hears his favorite song on the radio and jumps off his bed to turn up the volume, sing along, and imitate a guitar player.
“Good Charlotte: Girls Don’t like Boys Girls like cars and money”
The door opens abruptly startling Steve, and the Ghost of Lil Wayna quickly enters the room. She walks directly to his radio and pushes power. Her face is stern as she looks into Steve’s eyes.
Steve
You scared me to death! Who are you, how did you get into my [Pausing] wait a minute, are you Lil Wayna?
Lil Wayna
Cha Ching Cha Ching Bling Bling
Who did you think I was
I’m the #1 stunner
Steve and Lil Wayna

Steve
Oh my Gosh! I love your music. I’ve always wanted to be the #1 stunner and bling bling like you and your crew. [Excited] Man you had Platinum Teeth, Gold rings, then gold fingers, and legs and then there was this thing on the news about you dying because you tried to make your heart gold and then… WAIT your dead your dead your dead your dead.. How did a dead person get in my room.. Oh my God.. Am I dead too
Lil Wayna

Steve

Lil Wayna

Steve

Lil Wayna

Cool and rich like him.. [Fades out]
INT. Steve’s Bedroom - DAY
Narrator
Steve seemingly wakes up from his day-dream in his bedroom and resumes packing up belongings to leave for college. He again stops packing for a moment and looks down at his visa envelop enclosing his new Pre-approved credit card. He ignores Lil Wayna’s advice about treasuring his parents budgeting habits etc and Sweet-N-Sour climb into his window.
Steve
Tell me I’m not still dreaming.. Who are you. First lil Wayna and now this.. I don’t even know who you are. Get out of my room
Sweet
I’m sweet
Sour
And I’m Sour
Steve
It was rhetorical.. I don’t care about your names.. I just want to know how you go in my room. No better yet, just leave
