Just kidding, kind of.
It's an American tradition to list off shit we usually take for granted, but shouldn't. So here's mine.
My mom. She's cool as hell, takes me places and buys me stuff. We've traveled fairly extensively together and didn't want to cut each others' throats; there are very few people I can say that about. Thanks mom.
My old man, who's also my best fishing and drinking buddy. After having a shitty relationship for years, I'm glad we got it straightened out. Also, he has a kick-ass house in the mountains which is more or less my own personal resort.
My brother, who is my sounding board for all my (generally terrible) ideas and often the anchor of reason on my family's ship of retardation.
And, of course, my many, many great friends scattered around the country and the world. Despite our constant disagreements, my perpetual assholery, and the hangovers we have the next day like clockwork, you all still put up with my moronic behavior and my challenging personality. It'd be a lonely world without y'all.
I'm thankful for Me, and the fact that I still exist. I've realized that pretty much any day you wake up breathing is a good day - even if the actual day's activities are less than desirable. I'm thankful for the many interesting, trying, often shitty experiences I've had; I am better and stronger because of them, and they have altered my life perspective in a positive way.
I'm thankful for the friends/brothers I've trained and fought with, and the fact that we live in a country where such men will literally sign their lives away for their fellow countrymen. God bless all of you.
Most importantly, I'm thankful for the vodka mixed into this orange juice, because I felt like absolute shit before I started drinking this.
Happy Thanksgiving, you animals.
P.S. - To all my boys who spent this day in Trashcanistan: A: sorry for the shitty DFAC food, and B: you're in our thoughts, get home safe and soon.
