Well this year, At first I didn't think I had a lot to be thankful for, but after a few reflections, I do have one big fact to be thankful for. The good parts of my relatives.
As cliche' as that is, the recent events concerning my departed Uncle/cancerous Grandmother Have made me think more about the good parts of my family. The bad parts are: Cousin "Big" Jeffrey, Grandma Park, and Aunt Wanda.
Now, Cousin Jeffrey is like my GRandmother Park, what with the "How you can benefit me" Attitude, except that my Grandmother Park doesn't do Drugs or steal things, and at least if GRandma Park owes someone she WILL pay them back, So I give that to her at least.
Aunt Wanda.....She's psycho. She tried to turn my beloved Grandma Harding's funeral into....well something all about her. Replacing Pictures of Grandma Harding with pictures of herself and such forth, and basic all around craziness. That and she was a cheating whore when she was married to Jerry. She married the guy she was cheating on him with, of whom is very lazy anyway....but the biggest example of her craziness is:
She thinks my Father controls my Mother.
The entire idea is...laudable to say the least. If she even had an inkling of who my Mother really was, She'd kick herself for ever thinking that. HELL, The REVERSE is more true than what she thinks. My Father, My Dad, is very giving when it comes to my Mom.
So first I did think on the bad parts, but then I came to the good portion of my Family:
Immediate family wise, Mom and Dad need not even be mentioned. Russell, my 15 year old Little brother....He's a pain in the ass, he can run his mouth off to no end (Some of which I find hilarious), He can convince people to do shit for him in ways ranging from the very subtle to the blatantly obvious, but I love'em. He's a very honorable kid, especially for his age. He will back people up, and stand up for stuff. That and he's funnier than shit, especially with his "Back in 'Nam" and "Proper English Ghetto speak" schpiels.
Grandmother Harding, who is not with us anymore. She passed away peacefully in her sleep my....what was it...Junior year of high school? It was about four years ago. She was....Everything Grandma Park wasn't. Very Kind, very sweet, very giving and generous, and I really miss her this year above any other year.
My Aunt Dana. She's a little racist, a little controlling, but deep down I think she is a good person who means well, and I have to say she handled my UNcles death with a degree of strength I did not expect.
Billy, my best friend. He's an anime/video game nut, and how he treats his mum/brothers/dad can annoy me and cause me to shake my head at times, but that's his family and it's not my business. I can count on him, and that's what matters. A Self described cynist(Or just a cynical person), I still have to say he's one of the best people I've known.
So Yeah. I got a lot to be thankful for this year. So that's my Thankful Schpiel. Who's next?
-
Halo 2.
-
That was positively touching, Megs.
-
I'm thankful for having a car that's not breaking apart quite as fast as my last one.
I'm thankful for a job that may not be as fun as my last one or pay as well as my last one, but at least it's not as sucky as the 4 years at Meijer at $5 an hour and horrible managers.
I'm thankful for a computer that actually kicks my ass.
I'm not thankful that my classes are going shitty and I have no idea where to take my life as I watch my future jobs go to other countries.
And I'm sure as hell not thankful for most Americans and the president they voted in a second time.
-
Yeah, Halo 2.
That's about it.
-
About everything else sucks.
Oh wait. I don't have chlamydia. That most certainly merits relief. Which is different from gratitude. I'm not apt to thanking God for providing me anything. Not because I'm ungrateful. :unsure: Because there is no God.
-
I'm thankful that I'm not a pregnant, drunken drop out like some people I graduated with.
I'm thankful that I have a job, but I'm not thankful that I have to work Thursday night (Thanksgiving).
I'm thankful that nobody in my family has died this year, and that everyone is in good health.
-
No, no. Don't be thankful. Be relieved, or happy. No one gave you a living family.
-
I'm thankful it's (life's) not any worse than it can be.
I'm also thankful to whoever broke into the house across the street.
And I'm thankful to everyone living around us for not killing my outdoor cat.
-
im thankful for everything in my life, i love it!
except for the fact that my favorite teacher from peru died last week:(
-
I'm thankful for Pussy.
-
No, stop it!
-
I'm thankful Megs isn't thankful that we're thankful he isn't thankful.... alidocious.
-
I'm thankful all of you are dysfunctional nutballs.
-
not me!
:goes to the corner and plans how to denote an atomic bomb in singapore:
-
*watches as the FBI surround Faye because of that comment and deport her*
-
NO! WHO WILL SERVICE THE 76ers NOW!?
This is a job for Madonna!
-
not me!
:goes to the corner and plans how to denote an atomic bomb in singapore:
Do you mean detonate?
I'm imagining you writing in an atlas, denoting that there's an atomic bomb in Singapore, as a globally accepted feature, like the Great Wall of China.
-
I'm hip with that.
-
You're a dirty beatnik!
-
Just point me to the bongos and coffee and no one gets hurt.
-
Does it matter if the bongos are red, and the coffee is actuallyblack tea? >_>
-
Not really. As long as none of that was done to cater to "the man".
-
The man's bringing us down, man. Be-bop skiddly do dop!
-
::taps bongos:: Preach on, sister!
-
:: brings Chelsie down ::
-
Man, you're messing with my beat, man!!
And quit spelling my name wrong!! Ski-dop do-wop.
-
No, that's part of my suppression.
-
I'm thankful for a husband that didn't want a big high church wedding. :P And a houseful of healthy critters, working cars, steady jobs, stuff like that.
-
You've only been married the once, right?
-
Well, my girlfriend & I had our own private ceremony, but we couldn't even tell anyone, much less have it count. The divorce was easy, though.
-
On a serious note, I'm thankful that my mom's chemotherapy is almost over. I'm thankful that I'm just about out of debt. I'm thankful that my sister is alive (though she hasn't kicked her drug habit). And I'm thankful that things are finally starting to come togather for myself.
-
Chain her up in her room.
-
Chain her up in her room.
We basically did. She's completely grounded, we're selling her car, her cell-phone is gone and now one of us has to take her to work, confirm her schedule and pick her up.
-
Good.
-
Hopefully, since she can't drive all of her dumbass friends around anymore, they'll ditch her. Her old friends, her good friends, will pity her and hopefully accept her back... She atleast bares a mark of shame having to ride the bus, and some of her friends know she has to repeat next year. Not graduating you senior year is pretty bad.
-
She's lucky to graduate, and should feel honored that she is doing so. Should could be dead... or like Courtney Love if Kurt didn't die and just dumped her. I dunno which is worse.
-
I'm surprised no one's just mercy killed her yet.
