Happy Thanksgiving, Be Thankful

I sincerely hope your turkey doesn’t look like that.

Although it would be a lot more memorable in the future if it did (how many ‘wonderful’ ‘perfect’ turkeys do you remember? Yeah, me neither), so maybe I do :)

In the states, Thanksgiving is a holiday about a bunch of Pilgrims who stole some food from the Native Indians and then felt sorry so they apologized by sharing wine, eating turkey, and playing hopscotch together.

At least… that’s what I remember from elementary school. I’m sure the true story was quite a bit different and involved a lot more drama, sex and violence. Either way, its history is really irrelevant. In fact, its country of origin is irrelevant.

Thanksgiving is a good time of year to sincerely look back on your past year, what you’ve accomplished, what you’ve failed at, how you did what you did, what the hell did you do, and who helped you out along the way. Not necessarily in that order. It’s also a good time to be really damn grateful to all the kick-ass people and things in life that allow you to have such an awesome life. Because you do. If you are reading my blog right now, your life is awesome. Trust me. Be thankful for that.

I’m not selfish enough to write out an entire list on my blog to–… wait, it is my blog! Okay, here’s a short list of what I’m thankful for (in order of whatever popped in my head):

My Girlfriend, Music, AJATT, Gear Diary, WordPress, Yarsh, Arvale, RPGs, Bioware, Monkey Island, Alexa, Games, Judie Lipsett, John Phillips, Chris Brogan, Subway, Flickitty, Burger King, Morgan Parker, Panda Express, Beer, Pizza, Facebook, Japanese, Csaba, Crow, Peter, Goro, Danthe, NNG, PDAmill, Cedarman, Vago Istvan, B-Dawg, Def, Kresh, Mr. Underwood, Twitter, Swearing, Porn, Pirates, Flickr, Ittybiz, Dilly’s Deli, Tin Man Games, Las Vegas, Funkzilla, Sponge (short list! short list!)… and anyone who has ever commented on any blog anywhere, and everyone single lovely person who comes and reads my blog! Thank you!

So… what are you thankful for?

Happy Thanksgiving!

I’m thankful I made the list but not thankful I wasn’t the first thing to come to mind. Ass.

BDawg. If you think you are the most important person in my life to be thankful for, you are sorely mistaken. Sorry :)

Happy Thanksgiving to you too.

Yarsh! I hope your Turkey day went well… as well (too, in addition to, also) :)

Aww! I just read this (I’m slow on the RSS feeds today!), and saw that I made your list list. I’m thankful for our FB and twitter interaction; it’s fun knowing another skeptic! :-) )

@Judie woot to that (skeptics are a rare breed).

I noticed you were kind enough to give little ole me some link love on your site too, you’re too kind :)

Maybe one of these days I’ll get around to doing a guest post for you ;)
