this fuckin sentimental nonsense
like there need to be a particular day where people take a 'time out' from demolishing the planet to get nostalgic about family and eating food
motherfuck
i give thanks for the way i some how keep waking up without trying after every time i fall asleep
thankful that the Powers That Be,Ñ¢ give me just enough room that i dont yet have a excuse to wreck shit wiff impunity and say 'i had no choice'
no
but for truth
if i had to pick something that i was thankful for it be like:
thankful that i can see its only a matter of time before bad shit crumbles
and that there is good things thats enduring
thankful for a network of people that are working toward putting this process in motion
a network of people that provide enough re-enforcement to keep plugging away down this path
thankful i have contact with people that dont cry victim despite having been thrust into a unenviable situation
aight yo lets hold hands and sing now
or maybe go be thankful for some food that grows without effort
and manages to still grow despite our best attempts to fuck it up and accidentally kill all known life
I am thankful for different reasons.
I am thankful that despite the recent elections, urban renewal, and even Tony Danza, the world continues to deteriorate.

True, they are suspiciously good at that, aren't they?
When is the other thanksgiving (not the far superior one in this thread, which should rightly be celebrated) happening anyway?
we had it in canada last month
but im watching this football and all they are doing are these got dam sappy thanksgiving promos
Alot of my classmates are Americans, someone I know is holding a party for 70 people, she has two turkeys which about equal to my bodyweight in her freezer right now. For the middle of nowhere, we are a very international town here. I'm even learning about Norwegian holidays.
There's nothing quite as American as celibrating a holiday by eating so much it hurts to breathe. 
Edit: never mind, the things I'm thankful are kind of pointless.
I'm thankful for internet.
Im thankful for bad british beer
hows that for pointless
:-)

Yeah there is...getting up on a holiday (the day after Thanksgiving) at FOUR AM to go SHOPPING.
Let me say that again: Getting up at FOUR AM on a HOLIDAY.
Now, THAT'S
conditioning.
I have every intention of not leaving my house tomorrow.

Goddamn. They haven't even conditioned us that well yet. I get up at 6am on Christmas Eve, but thats only a half day anyway.
I'm not usually even asleep till 5am in the holidays. Thats just creepy.
Ebay calls today "National Sleep-In Day"...I wish. I decided to get up at 5, not to shop, but to work.
Time and a half ftw. *grateful she has a stay-at-home job*
I have to say that yesterday, as much as I hate the original premise and xtian undertones, I had a fucking good time. Drank lots of CH3CH2OH, had lots of DAMN GOOD FOOD (because my mom and dad fucking pwn in the kitchen), great company (we invited our ex-cabarae (sp?) singer neighbor over, and she is hilarious), and frankly it was the best day I've had in a while. Best meal, certainly.
Excuse me while I go heat up some leftovers.
