Here is the rundown of my life as of late.
-Finals are coming up pretty soon. Need to study for those.
-We fired another person at work, and then one well quit so we now have two second shifters besides myself. Which means much hours for all of us. Dan and I work together pretty much everyday. Which is nice. I like Dan. We work well as a team. Get a lot of work done too. I like it.
-Both Dan and I work Thanksgiving Day. It ought to be interesting. Then in an effort to miss my family, and provide one to Dan (who has none around here) I am going to spend my thanksgiving with Dan. We are going to invite our friends who either have no family around (Travis, his family lives in Guam where he grew up). Mr. Kelley gave Dan and I a bottle of Gin and a bottle of Vanilla Vodka. So we have been asking random people all day to bring us a little food if they can spare it. So if all goes well we will have good food, good drink, and good company. All provided by the grace of god. Karma is a good thing. Things are finally coming my way. All that (and still) hard work is paying off.
-Not much else is going on. Heather, and Marilyn are in Florida and will be until Sunday. I miss them terribly. I was hoping that I could be with them for thanksgiving, but alas. At least she can see her brother whom she can't see very often. I'm glad for that. I wish I could see Shannon and Penny more often. I would hang around here to see them, but I hate when Shannon and Dallas get together. It's like Shannon has to lower himself to the LCD (Dallas) and then its stupid frat boy time. I have to say football isn't that interesting, it isn’t so wonderful that you should worship at the alter of the glowing idiot box. You should have a change in mood if your sports team does poorly. Be pissed off? Yeah that’s fine but be pissy to your family and loved ones? Unacceptable. I hate people like Dallas, and I hate the effect it has on Shannon. So I am removing myself from the situation to avoid feeling left out, upset, and disappointed. Besides Dan, and Travis have no family. When I was in Bloomington None of my friends had any family so for Easter we all brought some food and we had a nice Easter dinner. Family isn’t blood. Family is whom you allow to be family. Blood is blood, but Family is a stronger bond.
May your holiday be wonderful. And don’t think about how Thanksgiving is just an excuse to engorge ourselves with food (and crappy football) while how many starve (and are without crappy football)? Remember that Columbus did discover America, and Rush Limbaugh is always correct. (I think Thanksgiving is a bullshit holiday)
-The one thing you should do, is look around and instead of seeing the bad in life see how good your life actually is. Be thankful for that you have. No matter how little or how shitty it may seem, someone has it a bit worse. Be thankful you have what you do. If you can’t go volunteer at a soup kitchen everyday for a month. Smile to everyone you meet on the street and always have a kind word ready. When someone tells me thanks at work it makes my day. No one ever thanks us for doing our jobs. Be the one person who does thank the cashier even if he or she sucks, and was mean. Maybe its because they work a shitty job for ungrateful assholes. Be the nice guy who makes their day. And mean it.
