on the 25th anniversary of a good investment


25 years and counting... Yah. Who says I can't do long-term? ;-,D I can. If I want to.

The Thanksgiving song, 2013 edition
© 2013 by Thanh Nguyen

I'm thankful for the amazing journey I started in 2007
I'm thankful for ma chere Alice B and the fabulous Mr. JAB
I'm thankful for my 25-year old gym membership and my abs
I'm thankful I’m intact. I’m thankful I’m not in rehab.
I'm thankful for the future which I'm about to share
I'm thankful for my LJ lovers, if you care
I'm thankful for (noble) whistleblowers and (fearless) freedom fighters who dare
I'm thankful for fiercely committed lovers of civil liberties
Who shield us from the claws of contemptible oppressors of democracy
Who, it so happens, are the same despicable war mongers who soak themselves in in-bred hypocrisy
I’m thankful for those who dare say “Enough!” to brazen domestic robbery and shameful / unspeakably barbaric imperialistic foreign policy!
O, yes! I'm thankful for all the / sane naysayers who oppose empire!
If you dare! Ah, yes! That is: if you dare!
I'm thankful for today and free air.

notes:
(...) = optional (can leave out)
... / ... = alternative or both
Because sometimes 14 verses can be a mouthful ;-,D

Peaceful Thanksgiving to everyone.

(as I refuse to be the kinda fool who's willing to pay more than $25.00 for a pair of jeans)
I haven't worn jeans in more than 15 years = same exact waist size: petite 4 - thank you!


54 feels good in 1969!
