Based on all these Facebook posts I’ve been seeing, I’d
guess Thanksgiving is no longer a day, it has now transformed into November being
a whole month for thanks (gee, great)…thanks for turkeys, stuffing, potatoes
and pumpkin pie. Right? Oh no…crap, I guess I missed the “real
meaning” of Thanksgiving. Which I guess
is what? Being thankful that the Indians
didn’t scalp all of our ancestors so that we were allowed to reproduce and
overpopulate this country that wasn’t ours to begin with? Or thankful that our ancestors were big
enough assholes to come here and take over in the first place? I’m not quite sure where to go with this one…I
mean, I understand the whole “true meaning” of Christmas (which we will discuss
at some point in the future I am sure), but I’m going to argue that there is no
true meaning of Thanksgiving, other than to simply…be thankful for anything you
want to be thankful for. We all know
that people can complain, about everything from how the barista at Starbucks
didn’t put enough whip on their venti double soy vanilla latte to how the
neighbor keeps sneaking in their backyard to put coffee cans over the dog shit
that sends smells into their yard…that’s all we see day in and day out, bitch,
bitch, bitch, bitch…and frankly (even though this blog is slightly BASED on
bitching about shit)…I’m sick of it!
Although, I’m also sick of people being so positive and optimistic and
posting things like – it’s only 5 am and I’ve already worked out for an hour
and had my protein shake…so sick in fact that I feel as though I may barf up my
breakfast doughnut and coffee while sitting on my lazy ass. Okay, I digress…bitching was NOT the point of
this post. This post was supposed to be
thankful…fuck! I failed AGAIN. Optimistic
spin: I can always try again.
Starting over… I’m clearly screwed because I’m sick of bitching
and sick of positivity, I guess since it’s become a month of thanks and I’m
supposed to be trying not to be a bitch, I’ll join the positivity camp and see
how it fits. I am going to genuinely try
to think of things to be thankful for everyday, sometimes I’ll post them, but
most the time I’m sure I’ll forget or be too busy cleaning up cat shit and baby
toys…either way…here’s today’s.
I am thankful:
- That I am afforded the constitutional right to write whatever I feel and think and share it whoever wants to read it (I guess those ancestors weren’t total assholes….oops.)
- For Pandora radio, Sam Cooke, and CW online full episodes.
- That my baby has a grandmother that not only watches him every Thursday out of the goodness of her heart, but also provides Mommy (me) with a large coffee from Dunkin Donuts every Thursday morning.
- That you are reading this.
- That I do not have to live in a domestic violence shelter hiding from a redheaded, pimply faced boyfriend that is an alcoholic, drug addicted, abusive,unemployed, douchebag loser…I think that covers it.
- That I do not have a dog that does this
(then again, maybe that's not such a bad idea...less work for me!!)
- For hand sanitizer.
- For coffee, Reese’s peanut butter seasonal items (pumpkins, trees, eggs), Tums, toilet paper, and Parmesan (aka "stinky") cheese.
- That you are still reading this.
Optimistic spin: November is only 30 days long…oh, and I really don't have to clean the cat shit...my non-abusive boyfriend does that for me.
