Thanksgiving 2009

A few things that I'm not thankful for.

1.0 The fact that there are millions of starving and helpless people out there
1.1 The fact that I don't do much to offset that problem

There are so many things that I actually am thankful for that I could not begin to sum it up in a list. I have been so blessed and fortunate in my life and I thank the Lord God Almighty for His blessings. A few things that I am thankful for, in no order at all...

1.0 Salvation
2.0 Turkey, dressing, green beans, mashed potatoes, corn, peas, ham, orange juice cake, sweet tea, and coffee.
3.0 Music
4.0 STAR WARS
5.0 A church that I enjoy
6.0 A Sunday School class that we actually fit in with
7.0 Friends and family
8.0 Books
9.0 Doritos

So that's it. It's a holiday that we're spending today with Keisha's family. My family's gathering will be this Saturday. I have to work tomorrow. Core dump.

Be thankful for what you have, folks, whether it's a lot or a little. There's always people better off and worse off. That's it. Nothing more for today. Farewell.

Enjoy your holidays, dude. Do you guys exchange gifts and such on Thanksgiving?

I've just noticed your Joe Purdy article. Did I tell you I got all his albums? Loving his work. I'm off to read it. Have a nice one.

@Krista: Thank you, and you too.

@Marky: No gift exchanging on Thanksgiving, just a smörgåsbord of all-you-can-eat goodness. I'm glad you like Joe's work. All ten albums are perfect. Oh, you should check out my 25 Best Albums quest I did a few months back. It's here.

Enjoy the time with your family!

I suppose it would be a nightmare trying to buy gifts with crimbo so close. Everybody would end up with socks or something!

Ahhh, a bit of the Boss, a snippet of Radiohead, a dash of Zep, a soupcon of Bob Dylan, and an avalanche of Joe Purdy. You have stellar taste in tunes. Your ipod is blessed.

@Crystal: I'm bored to death. There's only one other person in the office other than me, and they're downstairs. So I'm playing my music loud and without headphones...

@Marky: Indeed, my ipod is blessed. If I only had a bigger one it'd be even more blessed.
