| Now for my sappy, happy giving of thanks... I am thankful for my family and friends, who care for me no matter how weird I get. I am thankful to be in moderately good health, and that I have insurance if I do get sick. I am thankful that, despite being at war and in an economic depression, Americans can still watch 10 hours of football every Sunday. I am thankful for the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines who are brave enough to put their lives on the line for our country. I am thankful that during a time when Americans are overly conscious about our weight and health, there is still a holiday in which the sole purpose is to eat food until your stomach bulges, and drink beer until you pass out in a plateful of mashed potatoes and stuffing. I am grateful to be living in the greatest country in the worls which, despite its flaws, still manages to produce better song parodies than any other country in the world. Go Weird Al! I am thankful for all of the love in the world, because love is always stronger than hate. I am thankful that Comedy Central is airing "Sports Night" every day, and A&E still shows "Law & Order" four times daily.I am thankful I will be graduating next semester. I am thankful to be a human, and not a cabbage or something. I am thankful that no matter what happens, the Twins will be here, the Vikings will be Super Bowl contenders, and our governor will be an intelligent, caring leader who puts the needs of Minnesotans above his own gain. Oh, shit... I am thankful the President can only serve for eight total years. I am thankful the Earth hasn't been hit by an asteroid (yet). I am thankful Fall Sweeps is over. I am thankful than musicians continue to put out quality, groundbreaking music that makes us feel. I am not thankful that none of this music is played on the radio. I am thankful I am not an NFL announcer, because i don't have to say Baltimore Raven's running back Obafemi Ayanbandejo's name on a regular basis. I am thankful for you, dear readers, who tell me what you think of my writings. I appreciate the feedback. I am thankful there is no raw sewage leaking into my apartment. I am thankful for liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and the TV remote control. I am thankful for turkey, mashed potatoes, pumpkin mie, and Grandma's angel-food dessert. But last, and most of all, I am happy to be a carbon-based, multi-cellular organism capeable of discerning my surroundings, reproducing, and higher brain function. That is, I'm happy just to be alive (c. Everclear) I'm Ken Feucht, and I want to wish you all a happy Thanksgiving. |
