We all know what you're thankful for. Your family, your health, your freedom, the food on your table, the clothes on your back, your good friends and of course Fridays.
But seriously. Is that what you're really thinking when you gather around the Thanksgiving table and hold hands and bow your heads and wait for Grandpa to finish muttering his thanks to 125 years worth of relatives you never heard of before you can dig into the mashed potatoes?
Your family and friends know you're thankful for them. They know you appreciate all the times you bum rides or borrow money from them. They know that you really like the puke-green knitted afghan they got you for your birthday. So let's not waste our time engaging in tired cliches of Thanksgiving. Let's be honest.
Me, I'm thankful for a lot of things. Freshly made hot cocoa, drive-through fast food, pens with erasers, grilled cheese sandwiches, books, DVD burners, Best Buy, Walmart, broadband connections, White Russians, Amazon, Frosted Mini-Wheats, Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, anti-lock brakes, four-wheel drive, movie previews, push-up bras, SPELLCHECK, keyboard shortcuts, Comfy Mary Janes, Twilight, Carnivals, Dunkin' Donuts and Krispy Kreme, double orgasms, cigarettes and Zippos, punk rock, White-Out, cordless keyboards, post-its, biodegradable tampons, Excedrin Migraine, headphones, highlighters, hot bagels, VH1, microwave ovens, mircowave popcorn, Toaster Streudels, sporks, DVD extras, Mel Gibson, peel-and-stick postage stamps, talking Hulk Hands, the Food Network, Showtime HBO & Starz, ATM machines, hooded sweatshirts, Homer Simpson, School Days, Second Life, Photoshop, Wii, public libraries and Chocolate.
Just to name a few.
So here's your chance to bypass the usual sappiness and overwrought words of thanks which you will surely be, in droidlike fashion, trotting out at the dinner table and which you will, by morning, regret saying because you realize that you actually hate your family, to give thanks to the unsung heroes of our lives; material possessions, intangible goodness, and anything that would make living out each of the seven deadly sins possible. What, besides the usual, are you thankful for?
You do not have to live in America to participate. I mean, even Europeans are thankful for some things, no? And, I'm not a total tool. I do have a real, heartfelt thanks to a special group of people.
Dinalya = First and foremost the best friend that anyone could ever have. No matter what goes on or has gone on in my life or hers she has always stood right beside me tall and steady. She is a rock and a mentor and someone whom I know would be sitting there in the jail cell with me laughing our asses off.
Aurora = I have known you forever it seems and although we don't get to talk or see each other as much anymore, I know that if it ever came down to it you would come bail me and Dina out asap.
Sands = For making Dinalya a happy woman. For holding her close and sharing your heart with her. For holding her tight and letting her know in ways that I can't how wonderful and amazing her heart is.
There are more but I would rather leave them out of this post at this time.. Be thanful for the little things, Things no one else would even admit to being thankful for this year because they dont want to sound materialistic, Be the oddball and thank god for shiny pennies and new dollar Bills! You will not regret it tomorrow =)

So we were all waiting on the bus to come today.. Was heading out for a shopping trip when it all started.. it was chaos! Aurora thought we were silly to argue over something so simple.. But I'm tellin you she said completely casual... she dun look as casusal as we did. Dina looks gorgeous as usual but far from as casual as we were..
So of course Aurora gets sick of us argueing and decides to grab the bus instead of telling us it was there.. well we prolly should have been payin attention. So there we stand.. Aurora left us.. and what do we do? Walk? No Way!!.. We steal a car.. well that proved to be the wrong choice too..
So now I sit in a hospital bed remembering my thanksgiving day. I love my friends.. my family.. and my Slife.. But remind me not to argue with Dina again while we are out =P(This story is fictional to provide entertainment purposes only.. Dina is not a murderer...Please do not try this in RL)
Hugs to you all! And happy Thanksgiving for those who celebrate it!!
