Turkey Day. Family. Being thankful. I drove to Alabama yesterday which sucked. Too many other drivers on the road. I wish I could just zap them all to disappear like ships in the Bermuda Triangle. For the record, I hate people.
I say blah to Thanksgiving. We pass it over and head straight to Christmas anyway. Some say it is racist. A racist holiday to spend time with your loved ones and take a day to express your thankfulness for all the blessings in your life. When you explain it like that, it makes total sense. Stupid racist Thanksgiving people. I say we switch it up from now on.
Take this Thursday in November to be a selfish prick. Eat all you want, diets be darned, and fall asleep with your pants unbuttoned with the NFL games playing on TV. Make it 24 hours of all about you time. Thankful. Not today.
Instead of being thankful one day a year, how about we be thankful 364 days a year. Take the one day to hate on everyone, get drunk on wine all day, and eat a huge meal you most likely did not pay for or help prepare. Don’t thank the cooks. Eat with your hands after 7 tequila shots while cursing in front of the kiddos. I just described every holiday of my 20’s…
I just find it fake. It is like 9-11 when you post a “never forget” meme, but forget about it the next day. Did you donate to a fund to help first responders with illnesses directly from being at ground zero??? I’m making a point. I’m so “thankful” today. Tomorrow AM I will be complaining that I don’t have as big of a TV as my neighbor and that is society’s fault. My neighbor works overtime while I spend my free time drinking beer and smoking weed, but it is not fair he/she has a nicer car than I do.
Okay I’ve beat you up enough. You don’t need a holiday to be thankful and appreciate the blessings you currently have. You can start by no longer measuring your happiness with things. Happiness is a choice, an emotion that cost no money, and if you don’t have a lot of it the only person to blame is yourself. Be accountable for you and own your choices. Best part of that is every single day you can wake up and make new choices. Choose to read a book, take a class, call an old friend, end a feud with a loved one, or anything. Pick someone and do a kind thing for them randomly.
About a year ago I decided to send my niece handwritten letters for fun. Getting mail as a 7 year old is a pretty big deal. It takes 5 minutes to write up a message and maybe $.50 for a stamp. I wait for no holiday or birthday. I just do it. I put some cheap stickers in it and I’m told the excitement is massive when it shows up. I’ve gotten a couple letters in return, and it is pretty exciting to see a crayon colored butterfly mixed in with credit card offers and hospital bills. I’m thankful for those butterflies every time I open the fridge. Best art in my home.
My overall point is this. Make every day of your life Thanksgiving. Appreciate the blessings you have right now. A wife, girlfriend, kids, friends, family, food, clothes, shelter, neighbors, and all the rest. I come across a lot of unthankful people everyday and honestly it makes me sad. Negative energy is contagious. Here is a mind blowing thought. Positive energy is also contagious. What do you want to be known for??? If you want things to be different in the future change the decisions you make today.
I truly hope all of you have blessed day with friends and family.
Love Who You Are Today, Tomorrow is Not Guaranteed.

Let’s get right into it. I will never understand the individuals that believe it is okay to park in a handicap parking spot. I see it every single day. Charlotte, NC is actually one of the worst places I’ve experienced for this problem. If you can walk be proud of that shit and walk an extra few feet leaving the close up parking for people that might actually need it. I tell people if I get my legs back I’ll skip everywhere I go. Heck, I’ll park two blocks away in the rain just to skip a little further. Plus no one get abducted while skipping. It is a safety thing. Okay back on subject here. Jessica Alba is so damn hot, wait what was I doing, oh yeah parking…. Seriously what is wrong with your head that you don’t get that parking in a blue man spot, in between them, or in any way screwing them up for people that need them is a crappy thing to do???
I saw this truck today while walking a friends dog. This might be the dumbest thing I’ve seen since the last time I saw someone parked like this. Like I said it happens way to much. I don’t personally care about parking close to the building that I’m trying to go in. I just need the extra space so that I can open my car door the whole way. When I park in a regular spot someone parks too close to me and I can’t get in my own vehicle. This means I have to ask a random stranger to back my van out. I don’t like having random people driving my car ever, as I think all other drivers suck. My bad I meant to say I KNOW they all suck.
My friends in Charlotte learned how much this happens in the last year. I would mention to them about the parking lot of a particular establishment we would meet up for prayer meetings. Yes that is my story, moving on. After a while they would start to look at the blue man spots to see if they were open or had cars in them that should not be there. Now they were getting angry. I have to let it go right after I see it or I’ll be pissed off all the time. They had to learn this as well. This problem happens every single day. Maybe it is because I’m out so often and have more chances to see assholes parked illegally or maybe it is really that problematic. If I let a parking issue ruin my day I would have A LOT of ruined days and per the last blog I’m not willing to give these idiots one of my days.
Okay on the ship and cocktails start flowing. Wheelchair, drunk friends, and massive ship….. What can go wrong?? Only one answer. Who cares.
We had 15 foot waves and it beat the crap out of the ship. We never made it to Grand Caymans or Jamaica because the ship was rerouted. I met plenty of people on the ship that were upset over this, but what can you do?? Just roll with it. Why let something so trivial ruin a good time?? We ended up in Cozumel, Mexico and finally got off the ship. I took one look at the taxi vans we needed to use so that all 17 of us could get to the resort and thought no freaking way is my crippled ass getting up there.
I could go on and on about this wonderful experience I had last week, but some of it will get me arrested… Oh wait international waters ha ha. Oh well next time you will have to just come along to know exactly how crazy things got. There was lots of dancing, a BEARBIE shirt, Star trails, tons of rolling around, hugs to the floor, amazing new friendships, huge shots, I love “chants”, ex-girlfriend moving out stories, fully clothed hot tubing and half naked sandwich ordering, Mom and Dad trying to find the lawn, and most importantly… If You Don’t Like It!!!!
