day o' thanks

Another thanksgiving. My 23rd to be exact.

It is easy for us as human's to relish in what has gone wrong in our lives. But today we are supposed to be thankful.

I am thankful for a great many of things. I am thankful for my family and my friends but of course. I'm thankful for having a job and a nice apartment in this shiteous economy we have right now. I'm thankful for everything I've experienced in my life. I'm thankful for every day that I've lived these last 23.5 years.

It is hard to remeber just how lucky we are sometimes when life isn't working out the way we thought. But if you really step back and look, you will see...

Tomorrow we go back to being friends...

oh, oh, oh but a weekend it has been. What a last 3 (four?) days it's been.

The weekend was full of many smiles, many laughs, many good times; as always you have to take the good with the bad, but it's worth it. In the end, it all works itself out. That's what being an adult is all about. Learning to juggle, learning to live. It's not such a bad thing to be selfish every once in awhile, for everyone involved and everyone to do what they want to do. This is the only life you have, so you might as well enjoy it. And I'm glad that you do...and I'm glad that I do too.

Sunday night, I had a pretty once in a life time experience.... I got to see Esther herself perform....MADONNA.

Do something good for public education. Someone once did it for you years and years ago...

Hopefully Mississippi will lynch you like it did me...

I’m a cabaret
A champagne café
Everyone uses to celebrate
But I’m just not ready to rot and dance and laugh
to the sweetest death I ever had…

I wish everyone saying they will leave because of obama would go ahead and leave already. Your facebook status and rants aren't going to change anything.

Stand united or get the fuck out.

i give you miles and miles of mountains, but you ask for the sea...

the time changed this morning.
it's the start of fall.
it's the start of winter.

i'm cleaning my house listening to Damien Rice's "O"

i'm starting it all...

Then something unusual something strange
comes from nothing at all
