responds once every couple weeks but never actually answers the Where Else Would You Rather Be Than Right Here Right Now shirt. Today I threw my hands up and bought my niece’s partner an Xbox gift card (which I think is what he asked for last year) and my nephew and partner a gift card where they can choose their own experience. Hopefully they can sell the gift cards if they wouldn’t use them. I was hoping to get them something more personal, but hell, I’ve been asking for ideas for three months. With a week to go till Christmas – we’re going down on the 19th – I was getting desperate. Aside from that, this year has been…strange. I no longer buy for my father and stepmother and sisters: it seems too odd and unbalanced to be working myself to the bone to pay my mom’s bills, when my dad and sisters all have money, and then going without so I can buy them gifts. And I don’t currently have any friends – I’ve lost them all in the last year – so no expenses there, either.

If you’re familiar with the Roman Empire politics and certain parts of Eastern Asian history, this means that the Emperor can no longer became the Emperor and even the general cannot be the general without the military officers’ supports. These officers became the most important interest group and backbone to back up kublai and the Yuan dynasty. Of course, they were also extremely arrogant and annoying and not afraid of murdering their generals or started a rebellion if they were paid less. Their pattern of behaviors brought down the Tang Dynasty, such that the Song Dynasty had to oppress them in order to maintain the unity and power, which resulted in the extreme weak military forces against others including Mongolian. Ironically, the way of the Yuan dynasty and the Mongolian kept their dominance was as same as the Tang Dynasty’s strategy by granting these military leaders the great power and benefits. The history basically circled back at that moment.
