Just the Ticket

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Ticketmaster 2023 has been a mixed bag of blessings and curses. First, the worst, as the old, elementary school ranking mnemonic goes: between my mother's shoulder surgery and colonoscopy, my father's multiple seizures and heart surgery, our multiple medical bills from such incidents, my continued repayment of my ambulance bill and gambling debt that I mentioned in last year's State Of the TicketVerse Address , our car breaking down and having to be donated, work in the food service industry continuing its increasing trend of suckitude, and the death of my pet parrot, brother, and friend, Doodle , I've...been presented with many opportunities to strengthen and mature myself, to put these negatives in a positive light. On the less important side of things, I got banned from posting on several subreddits because their rules are weird and strict, I found out that Twitter (which I refuse to acknowledge as X) was still a sleaze pit, I f

Article by Sean Wilkinson, Not Getting Too Old For This? Merry Christmas, Ticketholders! There won't be anything so ambitious as last year's Countdown to TixMas  special, as time did not permit a full Lethal Weapon   franchise dive (a re-watch of the television series would have been too much bingeing on my part--after DanMachi  and RWBY --and the fifth installment in the film series is in pre-production Hell for various reasons) but the promised gift is still coming down your chimney.

          Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Ticketmaster Greetings, Ticketholders! And an early, Merry Christmas! I've spoken at length in the past about my feelings on politically correct holiday greetings like "Happy Holidays" and "Season's Greetings," so my Ticketholders out there know why "Merry Christmas" is my go-to greeting. And to top it off like that cheap plastic star we all give a pine tree colonoscopy this time of year (try replacing that  visual with dancing sugarplums during your long winter's nap!), the holiday is called Christmas.

Much like Easter, another Jesus-centric holiday (celebrating the resurrection rather than the initial birth as Christmas was meant to), modern Christmas is a more strictly commercial hol
