Thanksgiving Post
Normally, Livejournal is my whine box because I find all kinds of faults throughout my day and post them all up on here so no one can read them (and because it helps with the life based comic book I'm trying to start)...to be honest, my day yesterday wasn't that good considering my car battery went out (because I forgot to turn off the lights the night before) which resulted in me overthinking the situation and thinking my car was completely jakked up...Needless to say, I didn't work yesterday and I actually like my job so it kinda nerfed my paycheck.
Still hung out with the other family (Nick, Fred, Cleve, Leslie, John, Garrick and whoever else usually be at Nick's place) for a bit before passing out and coming over to my parents (where I'm at now).
I can't believe I used to hate these people...I guess it's true what they say, when you're away from someone for a long time, you grow to appreciate them a lot more when you see them. Either way, I'm introducing mom to my type of music (that weird stuff...like that new Snow Patrol "What if this storm ends" and the 2 steps from hell track lawl).
In any case, I'm posting this up to mention some things I'm thankful for.
To be honest, I'm very thankful for the people I've met between two thousand and six up until now...I've lost a lot of friends along the way, but found a few more in my stead. I grew up thinking that life was a mixture of pain and turmoil, but after the things I've been through between now and then, I can easily say that the same people that I can't stand were there to make things a little easier to deal with...I guess I have a hard time differentiating friends from foes (considering everyone's an enemy, even myself) but I am thankful for those that have actually tried to help me through the waters in the past. Unfortunately, I'm the one that can ultimately make that decision but until then, I'm happy to know that there are some people that are willing to help. That includes my actual family and those that I consider family.
The moment that I leave for the military, I probably won't ever be able to see most of these people again and I regret not being able to see them as much now (considering our hellacious work schedules), but I am truly thankful for these people and I hold them all close to my heart...To the guys that are reading, you know who you are.
And thanks.
